I have been searching for a new dentist for over a year now. After much research, I decided to visit Milpitas Smile Design which has solid Yelp reviews. I was pleased that my phone conversation, to meeting Sandy and Shannon at the front desk went smoothly. Once seated in the dentist chair, Dr. Sandhu and her staff are professional and friendly, creating a comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend checking out their website https://www.milpitassmiledesign.com/ to gain a better understanding of their service philosophies. Additionally, they have their own savings plan for those who don't have dental insurance to help make things work. I'll post more after my return visits. But so far things look good at Milpitas Smile Design. read more

This dental practice has a regular office in Milpitas, but they also co-operate a mobile dental clinic as a wonderful service for veterans and service members. I've now used the mobile clinic several times for cleanings, X-rays, and routine examinations. The dentist and the entire staff are kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely compassionate. They have an exceptional bedside manner, especially when working with veterans, many of whom have service-connected disabilities and unique needs. The equipment is modern, and the quality of care has been every bit as good as what I've received from traditional dental offices over many years. I would recommend this practice without hesitation to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and trustworthy dental care. Their commitment to serving the veteran community is truly appreciated. read more

Gentle, Easy, overall pleasant. No unnecessary pressure to get certain things done for your teeth. Easy to check in and book appointments.

Two decades of trust, undone by couple adminstrative phone calls I've been a patient at Smile Design for over 20 years(with some breaks in between due to my employment) and have genuinely liked the doctors, especially Dr. Puneet Sandhu. That long history is exactly why this experience stung -- and why I'm warning others before they sign anything here. I came in for a minor toothache. They recommended a crown replacement, but first sent me to a specialist for a root canal. I trusted their judgment and went ahead. Few weeks later, I returned for the crown and was quoted ~$500 out of pocket after insurance. A few weeks after the work was done, an administrative staff member called -- with zero apology in her voice -- to tell me the real cost was actually ~$1,500. An extra $1,000, out of nowhere. Their explanation? The root canal had "used up a lot of my coverage." After 20+ years in this business, doing root canal-then-crown combinations is routine -- insurance verification for something this common should have happened before treatment, not six weeks after the fact when I had no way to plan for it. When I pushed back(logically with facts-&-dates), they admitted their error and cut the extra charge in half. But instead of an apology, I got the administrative rep repeatedly steering me back to the fine print of the contract I'd signed before treatment. Insensitive first. Unapologetic second. Genuinely offensive third, being asked more than once if I'd "read the fine print" -- as if that absolved them of doing their own due diligence. It felt like someone rear-ending my car, admitting fault, and still handing me half the repair bill.... & gave me no choice but to pay. My advice: if you're getting anything beyond a basic cleaning here, verify your own coverage with your insurance before you sign anything. Don't rely on their estimates. Their billing team will not hesitate to double or triple a quote after the fact -- and when you object, they'll just point you back to the paperwork. This review is not abt their doctors. read more

I recently moved to Milpitas and was looking for a new dental office. This was the first office that popped up on my Yelp, so I decided to take a chance. I called to set up my very first appointment, and everything was smooth. The person helping me was nice, answered all of my questions, and ensured my experience wouldn't be the same as my previous experience at a different dental office. This practice has a parking lot; however, it is not outlined on Apple Maps. When I pulled up to the destination on my Apple Maps, I saw a big driveway and pulled into it. The spots that have a sign are for patients only. Van, the dental hygienist, started me off with my bwx and cleaning. She was conversing with me, getting to know me and my dental history, and informing me of the specific things I should do to improve my dental care. After she finished, I was able to briefly meet Dr. Sandhu, the owner of this practice. She was very kind and went over a little bit of my treatment plan. For my checkout, I was helped by Sandy, the office manager, and she was very informative about my treatment, insurance, and payment. She told me that the practice was in network, so I wouldn't have to worry about hidden or surprise charges like my last dental office. She helped set up my appointment for my cavity treatment. Making this appointment was a little difficult, though, as they have dedicated days for specific things. I believe the first Thursday of the month is dedicated to oral surgeries. Then the doctor who would give me treatment is only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I usually like to get treatment done asap, but it is understandable, as a lot of practices have specific treatments for certain days based on the specialized doctor's schedule. read more

Dr Sandhu and her team did an implant and crown for me. I can't feel any difference between the new implant and my natural tooth. The fit is perfect. Dr Sandhu is very competent and experienced dentist and I would recommend this practice wholeheartedly. I come to this practice from another city and it's well worth the 40 min drive. Staff is courteous and prices are reasonable. read more

The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The Dentists here are very thorough with my exam. Overall, my experience was very pleasant.

Amazing dentist and team! When you first arrive, you are greeted by the lovely front office team. After waiting for like 5 minutes, the hygienist takes you back for your cleaning. The whole cleaning process was smooth and enjoyable. During your cleaning, there is Netflix provided for your viewing pleasure. It was literally Netflix&Chill. Following the cleaning, the doctor greets you with open arms and evaluates your teeth if any issue arises. I recommend MSD to anyone for a dental cleaning and your dental needs!! read more

Suffering from a horrible phobia of dental offices/dentist has disabled me to the point that I have stayed away from the Dentist for well over a decade. Needless to say, I was in need of some serious cleaning and some dental work. I'm so glad a dear friend of my encouraged me to come to Milpitas Smile Design. The entire staff was so understanding and accommodating to my needs. Dr. Tran was amazing, she did everything to understand my phobia by asking great questions which eased my anxiety. For the first time, I'm not fearful of simply entering the dentist office... Btw the office doesn't have that weird dentist office smell I did require some dental work which was taken care of the next day, being fearful I pushed through because of my exam. Dr. Tran was even better when handling my filings and had a soft touch. Not saying I want to have to see the dentist at all because I don't. As of today, I know I will be in good hands and look forward to getting my dental health back without any fear or reservation. Thank you Dr Tran & thank you to all the staff at Milpitas Smile Design you were amazing! read more

I was introduced to this office from a Veteran's Appreciation day. Dr. Sandhu offered complimentary service to needing vets and that is a BIG deal to honor those who protect this country. Dr Sandhu has the latest equipment, wonderful technique, a sweet and joyful spirit, and a convenient location. The hygienists have been there a long time, which speaks to the character of the dentist, and have very skilled hands and technique. The dental assistants are also very good and provide excellent chair side assistance to Dr. Sandhu. The front desk staff are very helpful, patient, and handle much activity well. The office has opened during their scheduled days off and also have foregone year end vacations to accommodate patients' winter breaks. Overall, the best dental office! read more

Milpitas Smile Design - Christmas time - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

Last year I turned 26 which means that I could no longer be on my parents insurance plan. I signed up with an HMO through my work which was a big mistake! Since this happened during Covid-19 I didn't realize the full affects until I started looking for a dentist when things began to open up. I called multiple dentist office which turned me down for having an HMO plan. Sandy answered the phone when I called Milpitas Smile Design. Immediately I could tell she was different than the other offices I had called. She didn't look down on me for having an HMO plan. I asked how much the services would be for a cleaning and xray of my teeth without insurance. The price was more reasonable than I expected! As fate would have it they had an appointment open for 2 days after I called. I am so happy I made the appointment! I was seen by Dr. Tran who is AMAZING. The best dentist that I have ever been to! She is such a friendly and kind individual. I hate to say it but I hadn't been to a dentist in far too long, years. She never passed judgement on me for that. She also explained everything that she was doing when cleaning my teeth. When I went up to the front to pay Tammy was nice enough to let me know what my options were in terms of insurance. When my open enrollment comes up next month I will ensure that I get a plan where I can keep coming here. From the time I walked in to the time I left there was only kindness from every single person that I came into contact with. If you're looking for a new dentist please stop looking. This is the place to go! read more

For the last 15+ years my experience has been wonderful with the professional stuff and outstanding service.

Nineteen years later, I'm still a patient at Milpitas Smile Design. They've provided consistent care, some needed scolding when I needed to take care of my gums more, and fitted me with a night guard when they saw I was grinding my teeth at night. I've been a patient here for a long time for good reason, even when the office was far from where I worked. I've trusted Dr. Sandhu and her team with the care of my pearly whites and you should, too. read more

Dr. Sandhu is awesome and her staff is exceptional. The standard of care that you provided me with was fantastic. I am extremely pleased. Thank you. read more

For years I've been holding off visiting a dental office simply because I dislike the idea of someone looking inside my mouth. Silly, right? Finally, it was time to man up and go! A friend had recommended this place so I thought I'd try it out since it was close by my apartment. Making an appointment with them was easy and it's great they give you a reminder call a day before your appointment. They have their own parking lot and check-in was quick. First time patients register via a tablet. The waiting room is small but comfortable with beverages and magazines provided to make the time pass. However, I didn't have to wait long before I was called into the medical room. There, I was introduced to Moneyra, the dental hygienist. She was extremely friendly and didn't scold me for not visiting the dentist after all these years. She informed me I would need a deep cleaning due to my lack of dental check-ups and numbed my mouth. I can't stand needles so I kept my eyes shut anticipating the dreadful shot but Moneyra always warned me when the needle will make contact and made it quick. After that, it was smooth sailing! Each room had a smart TV and I was offered to watch anything I wished on Netflix. The Great British Baking Show definitely kept me distracted during the cleaning! Once the cleaning was over, Moneyra gave a bottle of special mouthwash for me to use at home and I then met Dr. Sandhu. Dr. Sandhu was very kind and took her time explaining the structure of my teeth and if I needed any other dental procedures (no cavities or root canals for me, woot woot). I then met Linh who led me to another room and explained the billing part of my visit. He thoroughly explained my insurance and how much they covered which is nice because I know a lot of people have questions regarding their insurance. Overall, I had a fantastic visit. It's still not Disneyland but I'll definitely be back for my 6-month check-up. Thank you, Milpitas Smile Design! read more

This office makes you feel like your apart of there family. Dr.Sandu is so awesome and helpful. They forever changed my life when I first got my ortho done here.

All her staff are very good and smiling. I would give a high 5 to them as well. read more

Just got my veneers here and I love them! I was definitely nervous from beginning to the end of the entire process but Dr. Yim made me feel comfortable and explained any questions I had. If you are thinking about veneers, I would recommend setting up a consultation. Dr. Yim will be honest with you about the complete procedure, Sandy will break down cost in a simple way to easily understand, and from there you can decide if this is something you want to do. I have gotten a ton of compliments so far. I kind of cant stop smiling now just so I can show these babies off. =D read more
