Before you book
Five-minute checklist before you call
Federal data tells you a dentist exists and is enumerated. It does not confirm insurance acceptance, current availability, or office fit. Use this list when you call so the visit isn’t a surprise.
Confirm insurance & out-of-pocket cost
- “Do you accept my exact insurance plan? (give the carrier, plan name, and member ID)”
- “Are you accepting new Medi-Cal Dental patients right now?”
- “What is the out-of-pocket cost I should expect for the type of visit I need?”
- “If you are out of network for me, can you bill my insurer or only me?”
Verify the dentist & availability
- “Is Sohail Saghezchi the dentist who will see me, or another provider in the practice?”
- “Are you accepting new patients? When is the next available appointment?”
- “Will the same dentist handle follow-up visits, or rotate?”
Verify the license yourself
Search the Dental Board of California license-lookup to confirm the license is active and in good standing — federal records do not show state-level discipline. Open the Dental Board of California site →
Match office services to your needs
- “Do you offer emergency or same-day appointments? After-hours number?”
- “What languages do your front desk and clinical staff speak?”
- “Is the office wheelchair-accessible? Any accommodations available on request?”
- “Do you offer sedation options for anxious patients (nitrous, oral, IV)?”
- “Do you treat pediatric patients in this practice, or refer them to a pediatric dentist?”
Ready to call? Have your insurance card and a list of symptoms or visit reasons in front of you.

About general dentists
What is a general dentist?
A general dentist handles the everyday work most people associate with going to the dentist: cleanings, exams, X-rays, fillings, simple extractions, and crowns. Many general dentists also place implants, do basic root canals, and offer cosmetic work like whitening and veneers, though more complex cases are often referred to a specialist.
Training. Four years of dental school after a bachelor's degree, ending with a DDS or DMD (the two are equivalent). No formal residency is required to practice as a general dentist in most states, though some clinicians complete an optional one-year general practice residency (GPR) or AEGD program.
