General, family and cosmetic dentistry on Mission Road in South San Francisco, in English and Spanish.
Acerca de
Sonia R. Mendez, DDS, Inc. is the dental practice of Dr. Sonia Mendez at 1135 Mission Road, Suite 203, in South San Francisco, a block of medical and dental offices near the Kaiser Permanente campus and El Camino Real. Chamber records carry the office under the name Sunshine Dental; the practice itself uses the doctor's name. It offers general, family and cosmetic dentistry and states on its site that Spanish is spoken.
Care provided
The practice lists exams and cleanings, fillings, crowns, dental implants, teeth whitening, orthodontics with clear aligners and emergency dentistry among its services. Dr. Mendez writes that she strives to provide excellent dental care to the residents of South San Francisco and its surrounding areas and that she pursues continuing education in implants and cosmetic dentistry.
That mix means one office can handle a family's routine checkups, a cracked tooth on a Tuesday morning and a longer treatment plan such as an implant or aligner case, without a referral for most steps.
Your first appointment
Bring your insurance card and a list of medications, and ask the front desk to confirm whether the office is in network for your dental plan before you come in; the practice is open Monday through Thursday, so schedule accordingly. For implants, whitening or aligners, ask for a written treatment plan with the number of visits, the fee for each stage and what the plan will cover. If you have a toothache or a broken tooth, say so when you call so the office can fit you in as an emergency visit. Spanish speakers can request their consultation in Spanish.
Patients from across the north Peninsula
The office draws patients from South San Francisco, San Bruno, Daly City, Colma, Brisbane, Millbrae and Pacifica, and from the southern neighborhoods of San Francisco. Mission Road is a short distance from the South San Francisco BART station and from Interstate 280, and the building has its own parking.

Preguntas frecuentes
Típico de este tipo de negocioHow often should I see the dentist?
Most adults and children do well with a checkup and cleaning every six months, more often if gum disease or heavy tartar is a concern. Ask the office what interval it recommends for your situation and whether your plan covers two visits a year.
Is the practice in network for my dental insurance?
Networks change, so call the office with your plan name and member number and ask them to verify before the first visit. Also ask what the estimated out-of-pocket portion would be for a cleaning, a filling or a crown under your plan.
What does an implant involve?
An implant usually takes a consultation with imaging, placement of the post, a healing period of several months and then the crown. Ask for a written plan listing each visit and its cost, and whether the office places the implant itself or refers that step.
Can I be seen the same day for a toothache?
Many general dentists hold time for emergencies; say clearly when you call that you are in pain or have a broken tooth. If the office is closed, ask the recording where to go, and avoid delaying care for swelling or fever.
