We are a family dental practice in Milpitas. My practice has been here in Bay Area for over 15 years. We see kids, seniors, and everyone in between.
My philosophy is the preservation of your natural sound tooth structure, therefore, my treatment plan leans towards a conservative one. This is how I feel about my own teeth, since nothing we use is like the teeth you are born with.
My goal when you come in is to focus on the purpose of your visit, what you like us to accomplish, and present you with the best treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and personal finances.
