Five steps, no surprises.
A first visit takes 90 minutes. We do all of the following — and we explain each step before we begin.
Welcome & paperwork
Jess greets you, checks your insurance and confirms your information. If you filled out the forms online (we recommend it), you go straight back. We offer water, coffee and wifi.
Conversation with Dr. Soto
Before any instruments: five minutes sitting down, talking. What worries you, what you want to achieve, what previous treatments you've had. No rush.
Exam & digital X-rays
A complete exam of teeth, gums, bite, joint and soft tissues. Low-radiation digital X-rays. Intraoral photos so you can see what we see.
Cleaning with Rose
Professional cleaning, polishing, fluoride application if appropriate. If we find issues that require a deeper cleaning, we tell you before doing it.
Plan & estimate
Before you leave: a written treatment plan with costs, what your insurance covers, and payment options if you need them. No pressure, no "today-only" deals.
We work with most major plans.
Don't see your insurance? Call us: many plans that look "out of network" still cover visits with us.
Not sure about your coverage? Call us and we'll verify your benefits before your appointment, at no cost — we do the insurance work so you don't have to.
Four ways to make treatment manageable.
Price should never be the reason you put off your health. We work with four dental financing programs, all with fast applications.
Medical credit card. 0% interest on 6, 12, 18 or 24-month plans (with approval). Apply online, decision in minutes.
Apply →Longer terms for major treatments like implants and full orthodontics. Fixed monthly payments, competitive rates.
Apply →Approvals for 90% of applicants. No impact on your score to apply. Plans from 3 to 72 months.
Apply →Up to $10,000 in financing. Automatic payments, no hidden fees. Apply with ID and a card.
Apply →We accept Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal)
Finding a good dentist who accepts Medi-Cal can be frustrating — many practices limit these patients. Here, every patient gets the same care. Call us and we'll verify your Medi-Cal benefits before your appointment.

Fill out your paperwork before you come.
Filling out the forms online or at home saves 15-20 minutes in the waiting room. If you prefer to fill them out when you arrive, that's fine too — we just ask you to come 20 minutes before your appointment.
Prefer to fill them out online? Book your appointment and we'll email you a secure link.
Your medical information is protected by federal law.
As a dental practice in the U.S., we are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). That means we don't share your medical information with anyone without your written permission — except in the specific cases the law allows (your insurance, other care providers, or public authorities in emergencies).
You have the right to:
- View and copy your dental record whenever you ask
- Request corrections if you believe something is wrong
- Know with whom we have shared your information
- Ask us to limit how it is used or shared
- Receive confidential communication through the channel you choose (email, phone, text)
- File a formal complaint without fear of retaliation
