From check-in to treatment plan
We’ll greet you, review your health history, and take any needed digital X-rays. Dr. Sameer Aljanedi performs a comprehensive exam — checking your teeth, gums, bite and screening for oral cancer — then walks you through what we found and your options, in plain language.

What to bring
- Your ID and insurance card (if you have one)
- A list of any medications and health conditions
- Any questions or concerns about your smile
No pressure, ever
You’ll leave with a clear plan and honest priorities — never a hard sell. We’ll help you understand your payment and insurance options up front, including Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal and our membership plan. New patients are always welcome, and se habla español.
