New Patients
How do I become a new patient at Sendero Dental Studio?
We welcome new patients from Rancho Mission Viejo and the surrounding area. The quickest way to get started is to call our office, and we will guide you through what to expect and what to bring to your first visit.
What should I expect at my first visit?
A first visit is usually about getting to know you and understanding your goals for your smile. That typically includes a conversation about your dental history, an exam, and a discussion of any concerns you want to address. From there we talk through options together, at your pace.
What should I bring as a new patient?
Please bring a photo ID, any dental insurance information you would like us to review, and a list of medications you currently take. If you have recent x-rays or records from a previous dentist, those are helpful too.

Our studio is in Rancho Mission Viejo, and we welcome patients from the surrounding South Orange County communities. You can map our address in any navigation app for directions.
