We know that starting with a new dental office can feel uncertain, so our team goes the extra mile to make your experience comfortable, informative, and positive.

Call us today at (805) 494-1831 to schedule your first appointment.
Request an AppointmentWhat to Expect as a New Patient
Your first visit to Nima Aleagha DDS is designed to be thorough, comfortable, and informative. During your initial appointment, we perform a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, review your dental and medical history, and take any necessary digital X-rays. We use that information to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your immediate concerns and supports your long-term health.
We take time to explain your diagnosis in plain language, walk you through your options, and answer every question before any treatment begins. Our goal is for you to leave your first appointment feeling informed, confident, and genuinely cared for — not rushed or overwhelmed.
What to Bring to Your First Visit
To help us get you started smoothly, please bring the following to your initial appointment:
- A valid photo ID
- Your dental insurance card (if applicable)
- A list of any current medications or known allergies
- Any recent X-rays from a previous dental provider
- Any referral slips if applicable
If a parent or guardian is accompanying a minor, please plan to stay for the duration of the appointment as we require a parent or legal guardian to be present for all patients under 18.
Flexible Scheduling for Busy Lives
We offer flexible office hours including Saturday appointments to make it easier to fit dental care into your schedule. Most of our treatments can be completed on the same day as your initial visit, saving you from making multiple trips. If you are dealing with a sudden issue, we are also available for dental emergencies — simply call our office at (805) 494-1831 and we will do our best to see you promptly.
Affordable Care for New Patients
We believe cost should not be a barrier to good dental health. Nima Aleagha DDS is in-network with most major PPO insurance plans and offers affordable options for uninsured patients. Our New Patient Special includes a full mouth X-ray series, comprehensive exam, and a regular cleaning for just $180. We also offer financing options through CareCredit® and Sunbit for more extensive treatment plans. Our team is happy to review your coverage and help you understand your financial options before treatment begins.
A Practice That Grows With Your Family
One of the things our patients love most about Nima Aleagha DDS is that we are a true family dental practice. We see patients of all ages — from toddlers getting their first dental check to seniors maintaining lifelong smiles. Our team is experienced in working with children and anxious patients alike, and we offer nitrous oxide sedation for those who need extra comfort. When you choose our office, you are not just getting a dentist — you are gaining a long-term dental home for your whole family.
