FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What ages do you treat as a family dentist?

We care for the whole family — from your child’s first tooth through their teen years and into adulthood and senior care. Seeing everyone in one Downey office makes scheduling far easier for busy families.

What insurance do you accept, and what if I have none?

We accept most PPO and HMO plans as well as Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal. If you do not have insurance, our in-house membership plan covers your cleanings and exams and discounts other treatment, with no deductibles or annual maximums.

When should my child first see a dentist?

The guideline is a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth. Early visits are short and friendly, focused on comfort and prevention. Our children’s dentistry team makes the experience positive so kids grow up confident at the dentist.

How often should my family have checkups?

Most people do best with a checkup and cleaning every six months. Children and patients with gum issues or frequent cavities may need to come more often. Regular visits catch small problems early, when they are simplest and least expensive to fix.

Can the whole family be seen on the same day?

Yes — we can often schedule back-to-back family appointments so you make one trip instead of several. Just let our team know and we will coordinate everyone’s visits. Se habla español.
