What to expect at your first appointment
A new patient visit at Sunset Smiles is unhurried, thorough, and focused on understanding your goals. Plan on 60-75 minutes. You'll meet our team, sit down with Dr. Martinez, get a complete clinical assessment, and leave with a clear understanding of your dental health — without any pressure to schedule treatment.
The first visit includes a comprehensive exam, full digital X-rays, a thorough cleaning, and a one-on-one conversation about anything you'd like to address. We never recommend a treatment plan in your first visit. We listen first.

We accept most major PPO plans — Aetna, Cigna, Delta, BlueCross BlueShield, Guardian, Humana, and more. See our insurance page for the full list. Call us with your card and we will verify benefits at no charge.
What if I don't have dental insurance?
You have great options. Our $30/month membership plan covers preventative care plus 20% off other services. We also offer Cherry financing with 0% APR options on cosmetic and restorative work.
How long is my first appointment?
Plan on 60-75 minutes. Subsequent cleanings are 45-60 minutes. We never run patients through assembly-line style.
Will I be pressured to schedule treatment?
No. Dr. Martinez explains everything she finds and your options, but the decision is yours. Take everything home in writing.
I have anxiety about the dentist. Can you help?
Yes. Let us know when you book — we will take extra time, explain things as we go, and take breaks whenever you need them.
