New patients
Your first visit, start to finish.
What happens
In order, from parking lot to plan
Before you come
When you book, give us your insurance details. The front desk verifies your benefits ahead of time, so there are no surprises at check-in.
Arrive 15 minutes early
Park in the free lot out front. We'll handle new patient paperwork with you at the desk; there's nothing to print at home.
Digital x-rays
Quick, low radiation, and on the screen in seconds. We take the ones that are due, not a full set by habit.
The exam
Dr. Vazquez or Dr. Aldana checks every tooth, your gums and bite, and screens for oral cancer. You'll see intraoral photos of anything worth talking about.
The conversation
What's healthy, what to watch, and what needs attention, in plain English or Spanish. Ask anything.
Your written plan
If treatment is needed, you get each cost in writing with what insurance is expected to pay. You decide what to do and when.
Before you leave
The front desk schedules what you've chosen and goes over payment options. Nothing is scheduled without your yes.

Insurance and cost
How we keep the bill predictable
Verification first. Give us your plan details when you book. We contact your insurance before the appointment to confirm your coverage, deductible, and how much of this year's maximum is left.
Written estimates. If you need treatment, you get a written estimate for each step, with what insurance is expected to cover and what you'd pay. Nothing starts until you agree.
No insurance. The Sunshine Membership is a $110 one-time fee: 2 dental checkups with x-rays, unlimited limited exams for pain, 30 to 40% off dental treatment, no monthly fees. This is not insurance. Dental cleanings are not included, and pricing for cleanings varies. Sunbit and Cherry offer monthly payments on larger treatment.
- In-network plans
- 10 major carriers
- Adult Medicaid
- We also help adult Medicaid patients use the services their plan covers.
- Emergency exam
- $40. If you're in pain, call first thing. Same-day visits when we can, during office hours.
- No insurance
- Sunshine Membership, $110 one-time fee
