​"I recently moved to the area and chose Milpitas Dental Center for a checkup and to replace two loose fillings. 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 read more

The office is clean and the staff is friendly! They don't office staff are kind and helpful. I have gotten cleanings, replaced my cap here and I'm very happy with the service I received. The doctors took their time to explain what was happening and how to care for my teeth better. And they are open on Saturday which I find to be so helpful for those with a busy schedule during the week! read more

This is my new dentist and I love them. Every time I go in, you can hear them chanting from at least a mile away, "TEETH! TEETH! TEETH!" It is as exciting as it is terrifying, but once you step through the portal you find yourself chanting along with them, often screaming as loud as you can like a Banshee. There is a giant Tooth Statue in the center of the room when you walk in that you must sacrifice your teeth to upon entering. Not all of them, just one every time you visit. Don't worry about this part too much. They give you a pair of pliers if you forgot your own, and then they immediately replace it with a Ceramic Tooth, which, if ya ask me, is way better than having these boring enamel/dentin/cementum toys we were born with. Useless. Everyone is the office is super sweet. They hold your hand when you cry like a baby. Of course, they laugh while doing it, which doesn't really soften the blow, kinda makes it worse. Anyway, highly recommended! ^____^ read more

Milpitas Dental Center is a great place to get your teeth done! There front office staff are great and very nice people. If you have any questions or concerns, there easy to talk to. The office inside looks brand new and clean. There are many seats avaible to be worked on. Dr. Vu is very accommodating and runs a great staff at the dental office. This dental office makes you feel like family / friends when you come! One of the best Dental office in town! read more

Dr Vu is amazing! I came with a problem of moved tooth caused by a broken wire retainer. He fixed the problem by a creative idea of removing the wire and creating some spots in my Invisalign retainer to move my tooth back in place. I saw results after a few hours! I'm so grateful for that and appreciate his honesty, instead of selling me a new Invisalign braces that I couldn't effort he tried his best to help me with my smile that is so important for me and for my confidence. Thank you so much Dr. vu you are my angel! And thanks for the kind and sweet crew you have with you! read more

Milpitas Dental Center - Orthodontists Near Me - Milpitas, California

They are by far the best dentist that i have ever been too. The front desk staff are all really nice and comforting people. They are very knowledgeable about their work. 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!!! read more

Milpitas Dental Center has been our family dentistry for over 12 years now. Everyone in our family, from our 4-year old kids to 68-year old parents have gone there. We've had multiple services done with them. The staff are friendly and quite flexible with scheduling appointments. The doctors and assistants are incredible in what they do. Strongly recommend Dr. Vu and his staff to anyone in and around the area. read more

My family has been going to Milpitas Dental Center and seeing Dr. Vu for over 20 years. It's always been a pleasant and friendly experience, I've never had any issues over the years and I'm a big fan of the way they numb the mouth before doing work, my previous dentist's method was not comfortable at all and that was the first thing I noticed when my family switched over. Few things that really stand out to me as well, most have been with Dr. Vu the entire time and it's very much a family like environment inside. When my family had no insurance and was paying out of pocket, the staff made sure to work with my parents to be on a payment plan that was manageable or whatever discount they could apply would be done. When my mother had health issues and had to be seen last minute notice with time sensitivity, Dr. Vu and his staff would always accommodate and if they couldn't provide that particular service, through their network they were always able to help us get appointments last minute. I usually get my teeth cleaned by Tammi, she really is careful around the mouth area and once of the least painful cleanings I've had. Other's sometimes you can still sort of feeling the cleaning afterwards and it can be a little discomforting, but I've never felt that pain when I've had my teeth cleaned by her. Highly recommend, but I've had my teeth cleaned by everyone over the years and they are all very careful and care about your well-being. I remember one hygienist even told me to relax more at work because she would tell I was stressed out at night by looking at my gums. Really appreciative of Dr. Vu and his staff's care over the years. Also with the new remodel they have TV's in every cleaning bay so you can stream what you'd like which is a bonus. Really worth giving this place a chance if you are looking for a new dental office. read more

It would be difficult to fully detail how wonderful Milpitas Dental Center is. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a clean and spacious waiting area. Friendly staff will check you in for your appointment and even schedule your next cleaning! When it's time for you to be seen, you are taken to a station that is spotless and tidy. Having been a patient at Milpitas Dental Center for 3 years, I have had a handful of staff members work on my teeth. All have been very knowledgeable and professional. My teeth are always feeling as clean as can be! After my appointment is done, front desk staff always confirm that my next appointment is scheduled prior to me leaving. I try to add an event into my calendar on my phone right away, but if I forget, I know I will be receiving a confirmation text/reminder a week or 2 before the appointment. Did I mention that Milpitas Dental Center does a really great job of scheduling your next appointment? I am appreciative of how diligent they are with this task. It has really helped me keep my teeth healthier than ever! Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

HOLY GRAIL TMJ RELIEF!!! I suffered from chronic debilitating migraines my whole life caused by my TMJ that even painkillers couldn't even ease my symptoms. That was until I was given the opportunity to try botox to help with the migraines. They injected the botox on my masseters and my temples and I can never go back!! Overall, my quality of life has been so much better. Just waking up now with no feeling of tension on my face/head is a major game changer. Highly recommend giving botox a try! read more

I love DR. Vu, I had a problem with my implant and he fixed it. Any problem I have I go to DR. Vu he is the best. I have been going to Milpitas Dental Center since 2006 they are the best in the area...so far to my understanding. I highly recommend them. Roopa Sastry. read more

Beware, Dr.Vu can't keep his composure! In March i had a filling done by Dr.Vu, however the filling felt uncomfortable for 3+ months. I had revisited him 4 times to try to fix the issue, but every time has been an unpleasant experience. I understand, revisiting multiple times with the same patient can be frustrating. But if you are working with patients and working inside people mouth with sharp tools, you need to keep your composure. Every revisit, Dr.Vu tried to grind down my tooth to help the sharpness smooth out. Afterwards, I would try to feel if my tooth is better, but during this I'm am always rushed, told to stop "playing" with my tooth with my tongue, and that my filling is normal. This 4th, and last visit, was the worst. Dr.Vu did not even try to hide the fact he was trying to rush me. First, I came in and Dr.Vu numb me to redo my entire filling. Right after numbing me, he pulls up a picture of my tooth and would convince me that filling is good the way it is and doesn't need to be redone. So I thought okay we can TRY smoothing it out again and see if it works and I even point out where exactly I felt sharpness. After smoothing it out, I was checking to to see if it felt sharp still, but this was difficult as I've been numbed. Due to me being unsure if the filling is better and taking time to check, Dr. Vu started to get impatient. He started to rush me to give him to "okay" to leave and says he wants to, "take off his gloves to get to his next patient." But, the filling still felt off and a bit sharp. I thought okay, maybe redoing the whole filling is a better choice. But Dr.Vu lost his composure and basically refused to redo it. So I had him try to smooth it out a bit more at least. Then he started grinding my tooth aggressively and even hit my gum and made it bleed. At that point, I lost all trust in him as a dentist and gave him his "okay" to leave. I give them 2 stars instead of 1 because he did agree to check on my tooth 4 times. But no one should be "rushed" or feel unsafe when visiting the dentist. Hope my tooth is okay... read more

My experience so far is great. They help me get rid of the cavities by doing deep cleaning. The staff are very nice and more welcoming.

Been going to Milpitas Dental for over 10 years, and always feel welcomed and part of the family every time I come in for an appointment. The staff is super friendly and the hygienist are gentle with my gums and also great listeners, whether it's regarding my hygiene or personal advice:) Dr Vu is very accommodating and gets to the 'root' of the problem. I'm a big fan of Milpitas dental that I even referred my dad over! read more

Milpitas Dental is worth more than 5 stars! I've been coming to see Dr. Vu for the past year now and I can honestly say that he's such an amazing provider, honest and caring. He knows what he's doing and makes you feel comfortable, he tells you what steps needs to be done without leaving you with so much questions. The front desk staff ladies is also a big part of this office and how it's running, they greet you as soon as you walk in the door and knows your name before I could get to the counter to check in. You guys are all great! If you're looking into a new dentist or thinking of switching, I highly recommend coming to see Dr. Vu and his team! Thank you for taking care of my teeth! read more

Dr. Vu is the best! I've been a patient for 5+ years now and every time that I have visited for cleaning, fills, etc. the service and care is superb! Recently, I was leaving for a trip on a Monday and I had a tooth crack on me over the weekend and he was able to squeeze me in to get it fixed the morning of my trip. I also had a root canal done on a different tooth prior to the tooth crack and he did it quickly and swiftly-no pain after and recovered quickly. Now that my kids are old enough, I am also transitioning them over here! Highly recommend this office for your dental needs (esp. if you're nervous around dentists.-the staff here is nice & gentle) read more

i've been a patient of Milpitas dental and Dr Vu for 10+ years. I love Dr Vu he's the best but his staff is absolutely AMAZING. The office is in a great accessible location to the freeway ... it's a beautiful and updated/modernized facility that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable... the ultimate endorsement is that i've recommended my own family members as well ... currently 7 of us are in his caring hands :) everyone loves Joe and his team ... read more

Staff members are great and they make everything so easy for you when you book. They make sure to remind you a couple of times before your appointment date and rescheduling is easy if you can give them a little bit of s heads up. Had no issues with appointments and rescheduling. The staff members are friendly and easy to be around. read more

I never thought I'd say I like going to the dentist, but this place is pretty awesome. From the girls working from the front desk, to the assistants, and Dr. Vu - they really have a great system going! I love that I can take my whole family here and appreciate how gentle they are with my kids. They are accommodating with scheduling. I mean, how many dental offices can you find that are open on Saturdays? They understand that not all of us can make it during regular business hours. Also, towards the end of the year, they sometimes open up on Sundays to accommodate end of the year appointments. That is unheard of, but definitely appreciated! Dr. Vu and his entire staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Everyone working in this office appears to love their job which makes for an enjoyable experience for the patients. If you're in need of a new dentist, look no further. They are really the most caring, considerate and fun, loving crew. read more

I haven't had a good experience at any dentist I went to in the past, but Milpitas Dental Center was the best Dentist I EVER landed on!!! I don't know where to start!!! But I will start off by rating this place a 10/10. Dr Vu had to do a root canal due to me being in pain since March from another Dentist that did not take care of me well. Dr Vu was very patient with me as I was in a lot of pain. He explained everything to me before doing any work. He made me feel very comfortable and made sure I was calm during my procedure, I was in no more pain after leaving. That right there was a HUGE relief. His staff is very friendly and are quick to respond when calling. The wonderful Ladies in the front are always so nice and always smiling. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. VU AND HIS STAFF TO EVERYONE!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN DR VU AND YOUR STAFF !!!!! read more

Milpitas Dental Center has been my dentist ever since reaching adulthood. The front office staff is always warm and friendly, making you feel welcomed upon coming in for your appointment. They are also pretty on top of it with coordinating your appointments, including reminders! The waiting room and adjacent restroom are clean and spacious, and the salt water aquarium tank is quite calming. A perk that's offered here are the TV's in each patient room; you can for sure catch up your your streaming shows while you get work done! I consistently feel cared for by Dr. Vu the fellow amazing oral healthcare team. Not only are they cool and personable, they are very supportive on ensuring your dental health needs are met, whether it be your routine cleaning and/or emergency situation. I always appreciate my dental hygienists' honesty and tips to maintain / improve my oral health. Communication is definitely key; Dr. Vu explains the activities thoroughly clear and I feel comfortable enough asking as many questions needed for better understanding. The Milpitas Dental Center's professionalism is comforting as you know you are getting the best care by some of the greatest people! read more

I have been coming here for 20+ years! From the moment you walk in everyone is friendly. As a child, the staff here was so kind and gentle they really made me enjoy my dentist appointments. I have had cleanings, braces, wisdom teeth removal, and more and have never had a bad experience. They truly care about the customer and make sure you are happy with your teeth. They are actually affordable too! I recommend this place to EVERYONE looking for a dental care. read more

I believe her name was Christine, a dental assistant who worked with my daughter who left such an amazing impression on her in what was an exhilarating experience to the dentist. The dentist? I know right! Not something I was expecting when her mother picked her up. She went on and on about how comfortable she was and she felt that everything would be okay after her visit was done. We definitely wanted to thank them on our next appointment, but before then, a five-star rating will do! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Vu's office now for 2 years. He's fast and efficient. Office is clean and staff is very welcoming. I can trust that Dr. Vu is taking good care of me compared to my last dentist that I felt like I was always being rushed or getting work done that probably wasn't needed. read more

They were super efficient and nice! Don't let the dated building space deter you. Inside you will find inside a group of helpful, polite, competent, and incredibly nice dental staff. All milling around like worker bees with one vision in mind: to take care of you to the fullest extent! Now their prices: ver fair! I don't have insurance and their costs were completely understandable. Before I even went I knew within $40 of final price of what my final out of pocket cost was going to be. They had broken the price down to me by phone BEFORE I even made an appointment. Which by the way was another reason why i gave them a five star rating. They fit me into their schedule the next day! I was so pleased especially because I really needed to see a dentist ASAP! They have my picky yelper seal of approval! read more

Update, my crown came off again for the 3rd time within a year since the last time it was "fixed" and now I am in the process of an implant with an oral surgeon. I wish I would have just gone somewhere else sooner, then maybe everything would have turned out differently. I had so many doubts and should have trusted my gut and gone to get a second opinion, now it's too late. Now, I am left paying 3k+ for an implant which could have been prevented. read more

I had my previous dentist pretty much all my life and was nervous about finding a new one when he retired. My daughter and I absolutely love it here. Dr. Vu and his staff are so friendly and kind. My 4 year old constantly asks when she gets to go back to the dentist now. Highly recommend! read more

We were in need of searching for another dentist and since I'm a Yelp contributor and reviewer I read lots of positive and great experiences here at Milpitas Dental Center. I initially placed a call to see if they accepted our Dental Insurance carrier and they did and the gal that I initially spoke with was Kaitlin. I had other questions for her as well, and she was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgable in answering all of my inquiries. I was very comfortable with Kaitlin and so we decided to come here for our dental needs. Been coming here for over a Year now and very pleased. Just recently, I decided to take myself off of Delta Dental PPO since I merely only get cleanings and X-rays. I don't have any dental issues nor does my hubby. I called Kaitlin as I truly rely on her expertise and knowledge. I inquired what do most people in my case do now that we are retired, do most people pay for their own plans. In their practice the average person without insurance pays out of pocket. Kaitlin took the time and walked me through what our out of pocket expenses would be and clearly it was very clear that it was way below what we had paid in Premiums for 2022. After reviewing the numbers again, I cancelled our Dental policy and will pay out of pocket should a need arise, hopefully this would not be the case. Just wanted to recognize Kaitlin who took the time to walk me through what I needed to understand so it was very clear to me. In years past, we always had Dental coverage because it was part of our company benefit perks. It had become a habit to always have coverage. Thank you Kaitlin if you are reading this you are the best! I want to say the office staff is very professional, friendly. The office is very clean and spacious, I am very blessed to have found this place. Have recommended this place to a few of my friends. read more

Dr. Vu and team are the best! Very easy to schedule my initial checkup/cleaning, the staff was very thorough in explaining what my insurance covered and what my expected out of pocket responsibility would be, very meticulous cleaning, and Dr. Vu himself is an exceptional doctor who carefully reviewed my X-rays and took the time to explain necessary procedures. I had fillings addressed after my initial checkup and Dr. Vu was gentle enough for me to concentrate on the TV show playing. This review was prompted by Dr. Vu making time to see me today on short notice for unexpected severe tooth pain, which he fixed without over complicating the issue. Thank you!!! Highly recommend Dr. Vu, the entire team and the clean/up-to-date clinic. read more

Cleaning today - best Dental Office you in Town. Great people and very professional / skilled at what they do.

I came back to Milpitas Dental Center for routine cleaning a few months ago, and as always, have been warmly greeted by their front-desk staff who showed the utmost professionalism and are very approachable, and their dental hygienists demonstrated a very high level of knowledge and expertise in what they do -- All the while added some personal touch to make their patients feel at home and comfortable. It's reflective of Dr. Joseph Vu's vision to continually create and assemble the best team that adds value to their services and, ultimately, gain the trust and confidence of their patients to come back for their dental needs, time after time. Highly recommended! read more

The thing I like best about Dr Vu and his team is that in the 20 years I've been going there, I have never been pressured to have any unnecessary work done. He is completely honest about what needs immediate attention and what can wait. I also love that their high-tech equipment makes my visit more comfortable and less stressful. read more

I highly recommend the team at Milpitas Dental. They are friendly, efficient and very professional. Dr. Vu and team always make it a pleasant experience. read more

I highly recommend Milpitas Dental Center. Dr Vu is a really nice and down to earth guy. You can immediately tell he cares about helping you. He makes sure to inform and educate you on your dental hygiene needs. He has a ton of experience and always does great work. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. It is always a welcoming and positive experience when my family and I come in for visits. read more

They are FANTASTIC. I just went to them for the first time, i had a filling that fell out while i was pregnant and couldnt get any work done due to the pregnancy. Had my baby and a month later, the tooth broke in the gum. This office was supposed to be closed, but the staff said i could still come in for the emergency dental work. They were incredible, very nice, extremely helpful and so efficient! They are by far THE BEST dental office i have ever been to! read more

Wow, I wished I changed dental offices to here a looong time ago! Went here for a dental cleaning as a new patient and all the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Loved that Dr. Vu had actual photos of my teeth pulled up on the television for me to see while reviewing them with me; I'm used to only see x-rays. The panorama x-ray for examining wisdom teeth is also something I've never seen elsewhere. Also enjoyed being able to watch Netflix while getting my teeth cleaned instead of boring local channels. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

I was introduced to Dr. Vu's office by my husband and I'm so grateful for this. The doctor is incredibly patient with me. I'm absolutely traumatized by my past dentist and he has really turned things around for me. His staff is so welcoming & warm. They have great communication & they are so accommodating! Dr. Vu is not only professional, but he's personal. He asks about you and how things are outside of your dental needs. The facility is ran smoothly, it's clean and they have great entertainment. If you're looking for somewhere to bring your whole family, he's your guy!!! read more

Love everything about this practice. The staff are all super friendly and extremely accommodating. Thank you for the pain free procedure Dr. V ! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr.Vu and his staff. They were kind enough to take me and my kids in for a cleaning last minute and as new patients. Everyone in the office was super kind and friendly. Not to mention the gentleness on our mess of grills. Very professional and down to earth folks. Thank you so much and we definitely will be staying on as regulars! read more

As a child you don't really enjoy going to the "dentist" and I've kept this mentality with me up until adulthood (two tours of braces and 8+ teeth removed ALL BY age 19 will have you feeling some "type" of way towards any dental practice). In the past I've experienced a dental practice that cares about their customers and a practice that only cares about the business and performs sub-par work. THANKFULLY, MDC not only genuinely cares about their customers but also about the work they do and will be very thorough with making sure you are satisfied! As soon as you enter their building and approach the front desk there is a feeling of knowing you will be taken care of...it could be the state-of-the-art feel of the equipment, the large fish tank in the waiting area with plenty of fish swimming around or the Golden State Warriors theme felt all around the office (bobbleheads, posters, flags, etc....GO GSW!!!). Everyone from the front desk staff to the dental assistants, hygienists and doctors are very approachable and have warm personalities. I never once felt pressured into having any work done and I feel they all have been honest with me after each appointment (and I've come across some questionable recommendations from other practices in the past...some even unnecessary just so they can make that money). Dr. Vu and Dr. Vehawn have a very well oiled machine going on at this practice and it shows with the staff's attitude as well as the customers leaving satisfied WITH A SMILE! Seriously, I did not think I could enjoy a trip to the dentist but I feel VERY COMFORTABLE whenever I have an appointment. Thank you!!! =D read more
