    A spotless, modern dental operatory designed to ease fear and bring comfort--proof that dental visits don't have to feel intimidating!
    Seona L.

    I've been coming to Dr. Li's office for over 10 years, and I can honestly say it's the best dental care I've ever received. The clinic is always spotless, modern, and comfortable. The staff and reception are so kind and truly take the time to listen and explain every option. Treatments are always painless and stress-free--I never feel anxious here, and I even enjoy watching the ceiling TV during procedures. Every visit is handled with great care and professionalism. After so many years, I can confidently say I wouldn't trust my dental care to anyone else. Dr. Li and his team are simply the best!

    All smiles!

    Wow. I came here at a friend's recommendation. She use to come here but had to switch out due to insurance changes. I feel so lucky they accept ours. The office looks very new, they do have tv monitors on the ceiling so you can watch your show during a long/short procedure. I only have been there once but my kids really enjoyed the compassionate, patience, kindness by DrLim and DrMa. Even my 20 month old , whose first time at the dentist, was pretty calm and she's a bit of a wild child. Not sure if this is a first appointment type of thing but it seems like the dentist does the cleaning which I haven't seen in a long time. So that was a nice touch. They do have a toy chest after the appointment for the kids to pick out a toy. Due to the location proximity, the kindness experienced by front desk and staff, I would come back here!

Good people do right things! A difficult 6-yr old boy got cavity fixed without tears and numbing after a failing experience in another dentistry. Cannot express enough appreciation!!! My 6-yr old son failed his cavity filling appointment last week in Pleasanton, with fear and fight. As such, the doctor there recommended a full numbing approach. My husband and I disagreed and thought of Dr Jeff, who fixed our daughter's cavity without any numbing or drama back in 2016 when we lived in San Jose. We gave him a call last week and fortunately got an introduction appointment the following Tuesday (yesterday). During the introduction appointment, Dr Jeff observed that my son's behavior (sensitive to the things getting into his mouth and curious if any impact to himself), and decided to take a gentle approach by fixing the visible cavity first so that he can trust and is willing to collaborate more. Luckily we got the second appointment today as someone cancelled their appointment. Dr Jeff noticed my son kept spitting out the mouth wash yesterday and switched the mouthwash approach to direct application of the mouthwash to the teeth, easing the discomfort of residual flavors in mouth. The cavity filling process was smooth. Dr Jeff and his assistant were very quick in actions and had lots of humors chatting with my son making the process super fun. They let him take breaks when needed, and gently introduced the intimidating looking tools so that the kid understood and would not fight. Great experience, not rushed, safe. Look forward to the next visit.

From day one, we received exceptional care and encouragement from everyone - the orthodontists, dental assistants, treatment coordinators, and front desk staff. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Duy Bui, Dr. Janice Hwang, and Dr. Jennifer Xu (Dr. Jenn). Each of them is highly skilled, kind, and truly dedicated to their patients. A special thank-you to Dr. Jenn, who has been caring for my daughter over the past year. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine warmth made every visit a positive experience, and her attention to detail truly shows in the final result. My daughter's teeth look absolutely perfect - and more importantly, she is so confident and proud of her smile. She loves smiling and showing it off, and as a parent, that joy means everything to me. What truly sets this office apart is not only their outstanding orthodontic expertise, but also the people. Every visit feels welcoming and personal. The staff greet us like family, and over time, we've shared life stories and even vacation experiences with them. The treatment coordinators are incredibly helpful and thoughtful, always working with us to maximize our insurance benefits and minimize out‑of‑pocket costs, which we deeply appreciate. This practice delivers the rare combination of clinical excellence, genuine care, and a warm, family‑like atmosphere. We always looked forward to our visits, and that says a lot. I wholeheartedly recommend Silicon Valley Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics - Sunnyvale to any family considering orthodontic care. Thank you for giving my daughter not just a perfect smile, but also such a positive and confidence‑building experience. We are truly grateful.

After going two years without seeing a dentist, I realized I simply didn't trust anyone else with my dental health. When I finally visited her new, beautifully designed office, I was welcomed by a warm and friendly staff that reflected her same level of professionalism and compassion. During my visit, I had a severe cavity that she believed had a 99% chance of needing a root canal. She could clearly see how anxious I was about the possibility of that procedure. With her skill and patience, she was able to save my tooth, cap it, and relieve almost all of the pain I had been experiencing. On top of that, my two front teeth had been shortened and cracked over the years, and she repaired them flawlessly. She even went above and beyond by placing a composite veneer that turned out beautifully. What sets Dr. Thai apart is her honesty, her dedication, and the way she treats every patient like family. I have referred my relatives, friends, coworkers, and even my own patients to her, and she has cared for all of us with the same level of respect and genuine concern. That kind of trust and consistency is rare, and it's the foundation of a long-term doctor-patient relationship. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Thai to anyone seeking exceptional dental care.

The location is also near restaurants and other businesses, so it's super easy to take care of errands before/after your appointment. Highly recommend.
