I've been coming to Sweet Tooth on Montague Expressway for several years now. I was searching for a…read morenew dentist when I randomly came across this office, and I'm so glad I did. Even though I live in San Jose, I don't mind driving to Milpitas because everyone here is so kind, patient, and welcoming. The team always takes their time and is very thorough with their work, which makes me feel comfortable and well cared for at every visit. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who is looking for a dentist. it's absolutely worth giving them a try!

I started coming to Sweet Tooth Dental a few years ago, and at first, my experience was what you'd…read moretypically expect--schedule an appointment, be assigned to a hygienist, and then see the dentist. Each visit, I was paired with someone different. While everyone was professional, the small talk often felt routine and repetitive, especially since I only come in twice a year for cleanings. However, one hygienist truly stood out--Jona. From the beginning, she remembered both personal details about my life and specific information about my dental history from previous visits. Appointments with her feel less like a standard cleaning and more like catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while, but can easily pick up right where you left off. Her attention to detail and genuine care are the main reasons I continue coming back, even though the office is out of network with my insurance. That alone says a lot. I highly recommend Sweet Tooth Dental for your cleanings--and if you can book with Jona, absolutely do it!

Very helpful with insurance matters and scheduling. All the dental assistants have been very nice and mindful of any discomfort. The hygienists are just as good. Very informative and do great job. Dr Vu is great at what he does. All the treatments that have been done and recommended, have been in my best interest. My previous dentist wanted my wisdom pulled but Dr Vu had the keen eye to notice the nerves in my jaw. If i had gotten them removed i could have had permanent nerve damage. That in turn proved everything wrong from my last dentist and just how better Dr Vu is. He works fast and precise. The facility is super clean and looks so new. You can watch TV while getting your teeth done. Once your appointment starts you're in there getting it done. You're not sitting in a chair waiting for them to start. Again this is the best dental office experience ive had. Hope the helps!!!

After being told I needed seven fillings, I specifically asked about the cost. I was told 'not to worry' and that insurance covers partial for white fillings. And I just need to pay my portion $579 ​After already paying $579 out of pocket, I returned for a cleaning only to be told I owed an additional $620.50. When I questioned this, the staff blamed it on the fact that they never sent a pre-authorization to my insurance because it was the 'end of the year.' Now, I am looking at a total of nearly $1,200 out of pocket for basic dental work even with insurance. If thats how much i have to pay then how much was the total pre insurance? ​Every visit feels like there is a new 'hidden fee..' the bait and switch. I don't mind paying my fair share, but the lack of honesty and the poor administrative practices here are unacceptable

I do not recommend Montague Hills Dentistry. Had a dentist I have seen for 8 years and was very…read moresatisfied. Was told I had good dental hygiene, few problems. Kaiser offers dental via Delta Care USA as part of my package plan. Saw my regular dentist for cleaning in 2025, no issues. Waited 5 months and decided to try the Kaiser plan dentist. Was assigned to this office. They had no openings for three months, but took the appointment anyway. They did numerous x-rays, more than I ever had experienced. Felt like they were trying to find something wrong with me. The dentist comes in looks in my mouth for about 8 seconds and then says I need deep cleaning and a cap that never gave me any problems removed and redone. He said a gap between that tooth and another would cause me to eventually cause a root canal. I did not agree. I knew I did not need deep cleaning or a cap removed and redone. I asked to just have my teeth cleaned. He refused to clean my teeth unless I agreed to deep cleaning and a new cap. I got up off the chair and left. Set up an appointment with my old dentist. My regular dentist cleaned my teeth, x-rayed the tooth that so called needed a new cap and found no problems. No deep cleaning needed. Obviously to me he was trying to drum up extra income for himself. Then weeks later his office staff calls to ask when would I like to have my cap redone. Unbelievable! I am reporting him to Kaiser Delta Care USA. Beware!

Asked if I can come in earlier. they booked it at 3:40 then called again to see if I can come in at five because at 3:40 appointment never got booked. I got there at 4:50 was not seen till 5:20 and stated that yes I would need to get a filling done and that I would have to come back. Then the doctor asked if I could wait today if his last two patients didn't show up, they would be seeing me. last two patients never came doctor left, and I was still waiting in the lobby.

Coming here is NOT a good experience. Thankfully I've never had issues with my teeth other than root canal 20 years ago with no issues. Yet these guys kept harassing me to put a cap which would take away 3/4 of my existing tooth. At the beginning we agreed for X-rays every 2 years, but they harass me to get X-rays at every visit. With no issues I don't see why Xrays need to be the moment my insurance is willing to pay for it. Go to a doctor who cares about your oral health. These people only care to see how much money they can extract with whatever procedure they can do on you.

His office is clean, well designed, and located in a very nice business building. There is a parking lot on site. His employees, from the receptionist to clinical support staff, are very professional. They offer great customer service and they are skillful at what they do. They always check in with patients to ensure their patients' comfort throughout the procedure. This is not the cheapest dental office but you can tell the difference as to what you're getting from the time you walk in to the level of care and service you receive.

He was very knowledgeable with my dental condition and came up with suggestions. I would be happy to go back to him!

Dr. Roy is patient, explains things well, and offers excellent guidance. In my entire life, I had not found a dentist office where I did not feel extreme anxiety until here (I have been a patient for a year and a half), until discovering Foothill Square. I have had very pleasant cleaning and deep cleaning experiences there as well, with a couple of different hygienists. The entire staff at Foothill Square is very kind and inviting in-person and over the phone. I also never feel like they are trying to sell me something, and are very honest. I am really glad to have found a dentist where my anxiety is eased and I know I am in knowledgable hands.
