I've recently gone to get two fillings re-done so I figured I'd update my review, and my last note for this place was in 2017 (omg...how has it almost been ten years....), but the five stars still stand! The office is still clean, the assistants and receptionists are still charming and nice, and the doctor is still warm and educational. I still get nervous every time I go (I can't help it), and my blood pressure is always high every time I enter the office. They are very gentle and understanding with me, and give me time to decompress before they start any cleanings or procedures. Im still quite sensitive to any sort of mouth pain so even for a regular cleaning, they give me some numbing gel and its the best thing ever, makes all cleanings a breeze. Highly recommend this place to be your regular dentist! read more

Excellent care, friendly and gentle care. Best staff I've experienced! I've been going to them for several years now. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr Shah has been my dentist since 2014. she has been not only a great dentist for me.. she was the only one who figured out WHY my kid was getting frequent ear infection, feeding troubles etc.. something that my kids pediatrician or the n number of other specialists did not figure out. Amazing doctor who will spend time with you to go over your food habits etc for overall better dental care. Very highly recommend. read more

I woke up Saturday morning from the tootache from hell- excrucating pain in one of my front molars. I could not even bite down. Let's just say waking up at the crack of dawn to go to the dentist is not the most ideal way to spend the day. I went to my general dentist and they stated that they could do nothing since it was a Saturday and could not locate a root canal specialist even though they were the ones that plugged the infected tooth. I was left to locate a root canal specialist on my own. I came across Pearl Smile Dental and they stated that they would help me. I went and was in absolute pain. Dr. Ishita managed to find a root canal specialist to assist me with my pain. Not only that, she sat there with the most amazing empathy, care, and support as I sobbed. She gave me medicine and numbed my tooth so I could eat something before my 3rd dentist visit that day to start the root canal process. She was the beacon of light, hope, and support for me when I was at my worst. Her staff was incredibly helpful and supportive. I love this place! read more

We had good experience with this business service so far. We were searching around few dentist offices over the past few years for the right service, apparently this office is promising the best so far. We did try Pannu Dental Fremont and. some other, had not. so good outcome. Pearl smile dental Front Office: Very good reception by Dr. Sudha(Yes!!! front office assistant is a Dentist by herself), with informative and welcoming front office. Good in communication, clarity in details of Service, insurance, appointments etc. Dr Services: So far, Dr. Shah have done clean up, fillings etc, which are upto our satisfaction. Over all office: Clean and hygienic I would suggest to give a try if you are looking for some good dental help. read more

Me & my wife have regular appointments with Dr Ishita Shah and team. We are able to express our concerns to them. They always give us their honest opinion and never rush to any procedures. We would highly recommend this place. read more

This is one of the worst dental clinic i have visited maintained by indian dentists just to snatch the money either from you/from insurance. In my case, though we went for deep cleaning, they did normal cleaning and again suggesting for deep clearn after 2 weeks to get the money. Another instance, though my wife has to go for root-canal which they don't have in their clinic, instead of suggesting/directly asking us to go for root-canal, they did the filling and then again suggesting us to go to root-canal to another clinic. I never see this type of very cheap mentality of doctors to snatch money from patients in bay area. doctors in india do like this and these people are doing the same here. read more

Root Canal here I come! I am the queen of dental work, having genetically weak teeth, I've had my fair share of root canals and so fourth so you can imagine my fears of going to the dentist. Dr. Shah has a super calm demeanor and reassures you she will do whatever it takes to properly anesthetize you locally. So far I was impressed with my root canal NO PAIN! I'm the biggest chicken too when it comes to needles in the mouth... I notice her technique with intra palate shots (so local anesthesia not only outer tooth nerve but inside the upper palate) works like a charm where I literally felt nothing I can hear drilling but felt no pain whatsoever. She is very gentle and explains everything of the procedure, costs and basically no surprises. I'm happy with her and would highly recommend her, her office staff is awesome also, they actually call you and ask how you are feeling after a filling, which adds a nice touch to go above and beyond. After my root canal, 3 hours later, Dr. Shah calls me to make sure how I was feeling after the anesthetic wore off and followed up on antibiotics and meds to take. Glad I found pearl smile dental. read more

Pearl Smile Dental - Dr. Ishita Shah @ Pearl Smile Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

I am visiting pearl smile for the past 7 years. I usually get routine cleaning & deep cleaning , but recently my permanent retainer started coming off so the teeth started wobbly and I contacted Dr. Ishita to get an urgent appointment and got it the next day & doctor fixed it like a magic !!! I got great relief - my smile & confidence back to me . The important thing I want to say is I had deep cleaning appointments & this repair in this pandemic situation because I much needed them and they take utmost care starting from Covid check questionnaire, letting one patient at a time from parking, temperature check , using hydrogen peroxide solution for mouthwash, using several air purifiers , sanitizing room , floor etc. Receptionist & doctors are wearing several layers of gowns, masks , face shield etc.. very safe to go ! Kudos to the entire team for providing care & I highly recommend their service ! read more

Wanted to get five stars to my favorite dental office. All of the staff are very professional and polite. Always a good experience when I go in for cleaning, and that every dreaded cavity. Thank you very much! read more

I have been visiting Dr Ishita Shah for 3 years now. There are several reasons that make me comfortable visiting at this clinic. The most important is doctors approach to preserve the natural tooth. I have upper right corner tooth that she has been monitoring from 3 yrs and so far hasn't deteriorated with just the right crown cap. Their front staff is very welcoming and accommodating. The staff is thorough with the insurance and upfront about any out of pocket cost. The facility is clean and looks fresh, I'd recommend this clinic to all. I have add regular cleaning, deep cleaning & 1 crown in 3 years of my visit. So far happy with all the treatments above. read more

The dental practice was advertising $59 for new patients which includes exam, xray, and cleaning. Pretty good steal to try out a new dentist! Called to make an appointment and was able to get in the next morning. Their receptionist is very pleasant. There's about 3-4 pages to fill out. There's one page in particular that mentioned no show/cancellation fees. First time I've seen this at a dental practice with fee breakdowns! I never cancel unless it's urgent so this bothered me a bit to have to pay if I couldn't make it. The technology they use is pretty up-to-date. Xray only took a little over 5 minutes and I only had to bite down like 5 times (not like older xrays where they jam their xray device around your mouth a kajillion times at different angles) Was moved over to a new seat and Dr. Shah was very nice! Her "bedside" manners was awesome. She examined my tooth and showed me on her TV monitor areas that needed attention. Although she wasn't pushy, she did try to recommend me on the idea of getting a crown (on a tooth that I have no issues on). Teeth was cleaned thoroughly and later polished by her assistant. They gave a goody bag too! Mini toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, and regular size toothbrush. Breakdown of how much it would normally cost: Oral evaluation $59 Adult cleaning $94 Full mouth xray $97 Total: $250 TLDR: fast xrays, nice doctor, clean facility, may upsell read more

Super awesome place for full family. Have been going to Dr Shah for a long time now and even the kids are going to her.

Beware! Dr. Ishita was a very nice lady but she recommended 4 unnecessary crown treatments for me. I went in because she is open on Saturdays and my normal dentist was booked for weeks. I had an older filling which fell out. She recommended a crown for that tooth, and then also recommended three other crowns. I was a bit shocked since my regular dentist had never recommended this before and I never had a crown before but I wanted to get my tooth fixed. I got the first crown done, the anesthetic shots were much more painful than normal and I usually don't mind shots at all. She took a whole bunch of X-rays after the crown was in which seemed unnecessary, instead she could have just looked into my mouth a bit more. Also, the crown was a bit large so she shaved down my existing tooth on the opposite side to make it fit which doesn't seem right! Then I continued to feel some aches after the procedure even after a few weeks. So I went to my regular dentist for a second opinion. My dentist said I didn't need any crowns, rather my other filling which chipped could just be replaced. As for one of the other crowns which were recommended for an old filling (which wasn't giving me any problems) and she said there was a small cavity forming, my dentist said it is just some staining on my tooth!! All can say is her recommendations would have maxed out my dental insurance and would have cost me $2.4k out of pocket! They booked all these appointments during my first visit! During my visit I also heard another patient who had crowns being done. If that is you, perhaps a second opinion may be considered? I wanted to trust this dental office because of good yelp reviews but I am more than disappointed. read more

I went to see Dr. Ishita two times. The first time I need a dental cleaning. She cleaned it very well. During the regular annual Xray, she showed me I have a few cavities that need taken care of. We agreed upon a treatment plan during which she never forced or pushed any treatments on me. I felt very comfortable discussing my needs with her and the office manager Sharon. I went back two weeks later to finish my treatments. It was the same high standard service. Dr. Ishita is on time, carefully explaining to me what exactly she would do now and later during the treatment. She also constantly made sure I am not in a lot of pain during the treatment. I am very happy with both of my visits. I highly recommend this place to someone who is looking for a great dentist. read more

My mother was visiting me from India and she had no dental insurance, yet she got her teeth fillings done to perfection with reasonable cost at Pearl Smile Dental.

Thanks to Dr. Ishita Shah and special thanks to Ginette for a great great painless deep cleaning experience. I have horrible memories from my childhood for filling and braces , partially may be because I was a kid a technology was not as advanced but also because the doctors were not as responsive and as empathetic to pain during the process. I loved the way Ginette responded to pain. I would highly recommend both of them. This was just a start, I am yet to have more treatment done and keeping my fingers crossed for it :) read more

My family and I have been going here for over 4 years they do a bang up job with the cleaning. They are very gentle and have a nice clean atmosphere read more

Dr Gaddam and Joey at the lab absolutely saved the day! Highly recommended! read more

I am not a big fan of going to the dentist but Dr. Shah and her assistant Lynda have made going to the dentist a surprisingly pleasant experience. Dr. Shah is very knowledgeable and honest. She spent quality time examining my teeth and then doing a thorough cleaning. Also Lynda is very personable and nice. I trust very few people and businesses these days but I feel incredibly fortunate to have a dentist that I totally trust and feel comfortable with. The office is very modern, clean, ambient lighting, state-of-the-art equipment, digital x-ray and comfortable and you definitely feel taken care of Dr. Shah explains all possible solutions. I highly recommend this dentist. Dr. Shah and Lynda, you are the best! Thanks. read more

I took my entire family of 6 to the dentist and I cannot say anything better than 5 stars. From the nurses to the doctor they were all great and had a lot of patience.

The Doctor made sure the kids were not scared of the procedures, and they are actually asking me to go back. Great place and I will definately be back. read more

I recommend Pearl Smile Dental. Relocating to Bay Area I was searching for a good dentist. I knew I had lot of work to be done, so when I asked around my friends Pearl Smile Dental was recommended to me. I was explained what all treatment needs to be done, how much approximate time would it need. They made sure my insurance gets utilized properly towards my treatment. Dr. Ishita is very knowledgeable and ready to answer all your questions and concerns related to treatment. She explains pros and cons of continuing and not continuing the treatment, giving a fair chance to take decision with all information you need. Sharon at the reception is friendly and always try to make sure that appointments are adjusted according to patients' convenience. Not to forget other technicians helping Dr. Ishita, are courteous and do a great job. When I came in at very first time, I was in lot of pain. Dr. Ishita, one by one carried out all the procedures needed (with almost no pain at all) and suggested appropriate techniques to maintain oral hygiene. I am following her instructions and feel much much better than it was before visiting Pearl Smile Dental. If you are scared or have doubts regarding your dental treatment, this is the place to visit. read more

I highly recommend Pearl Smile Dental clinic. Dr. Ishita is very knowledgeable and makes sure that you are comfortable through out the process. I found this place via Yelp almost 2 years ago and then there was no seeing back. I remember how bad my state(mouth) was when I first went there. It's been two years now and I have no complaints. Her staff is just amazing. They are very flexible with your schedule and I have seen them coming in early in the mornings even on weekends to accommodate her patients. Everything is always taken care of for you. You just have to show up. PS: I don't write Yelp reviews much but this one really deserved one. :) read more

The overall clinic experience from appointment to doctor is organized, engaging and satisfying. Dr. Ishita is very knowledgeable and work is at very high level of satisfaction. She is always very gentle while doing cleaning, filling etc., I visit her for my regular visit for first time and with X-Rays she found out that I need gum surgery. She explained the problem and possible solutions. After I complete my surgery from a specialist, she scheduled me for every 3 months appointment for cleaning and check up. In addition, Sharon is very friendly, nice person and top of her work. She would always call reminder before two weeks and few days before your appointment. If you are not available than she will reschedule you as per your convenient time. I would highly recommend dr Ishita ( this clinic) and pay her one visit.

I gave 5 stars to Pearl Smile because they earned it. The parking is decent and the office (which is on the first floor) is pretty spacious and seemed well organized.
