A Private-Practice Experience, Focused on You
Signature Smiles Dental Group is a proudly independent, privately owned dental office led by Dr. Gaganjot Khera, DDS — named America’s Best Dentist in 2024 and 2025. When you join us, you see the same trusted doctor at every visit, not a rotating roster of corporate providers. Dr. Khera takes time to listen, answer your questions, and build a plan around your goals and history.
We are actively accepting new patients of every age — adults, children, and seniors — from Milpitas and the surrounding South Bay. Most new patient appointments are available within one to two weeks, with same-day slots reserved for dental emergencies.
After you book, we send a secure digital link so you can finish every form from home on any device. No printing, no clipboards — walk in and head straight to your chair.
Why New Patients in Milpitas Choose Signature Smiles
Choosing a dentist is a real decision. Here is what sets our office apart from other dental practices in Milpitas and across the South Bay.
America’s Best Dentist 2024 & 2025

Private Practice — Not Corporate
Owner-operated by Dr. Khera. You see the same caring doctor at every single visit, never a stranger.
Care in Your Language
Our team speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Spanish, and Tagalog — no language barrier to great care.
100% Digital Dentistry
Low-radiation digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, 3D scans, and Pearl AI diagnostics you can see in real time.
Saturday Availability
Open Monday and Wednesday through Saturday, 9am–6pm — evening and weekend slots for busy schedules.
What to Expect at Your First Dental Visit in Milpitas
Plan for about 45 to 60 minutes so we can evaluate your oral health, take records, and give you an honest, pressure-free plan — without rushing.
Quick, Easy Check-In
Arrive 5–10 minutes early. If you completed your digital forms at home, check-in takes under two minutes. We verify your insurance and photo ID — and if you have any dental anxiety, just tell us so we can accommodate you.
Comprehensive Examination
Dr. Khera performs a thorough exam using digital X-rays, an intraoral camera, and 3D scanning. We assess your teeth, gums, and bite, and screen for oral cancer, gum disease, and early decay.
Professional Cleaning
Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth, and checks gum health for early signs of gingivitis — then reviews a simple at-home care routine with you.
Personalized Plan — No Pressure
We show you your own X-rays and photos on screen, answer every question, and provide a plain-language written cost estimate built around your goals, timeline, and budget. We never upsell.
Technology for Safer, More Accurate Care
We invest continuously in modern tools so every new patient benefits from precise, comfortable, efficient care.
Low-Radiation Digital X-Rays
Up to 90% less radiation than traditional film, with instant images we review with you on screen.
Intraoral Camera
An HD camera shows you exactly what your dentist sees inside your mouth — no guesswork, full transparency.
3D Digital Scanning
Replaces messy impressions for crowns, aligners, and night guards with precise, comfortable digital models.
Pearl AI Diagnostics
FDA-cleared artificial intelligence acts as a second set of eyes on your X-rays for earlier, more confident findings.
Paperless Digital Records
Secure digital intake, charting, and instant insurance claim submission keep your visit fast and organized.
Gentle, Conservative Approach
Better data means we treat only what truly needs treatment — protecting your natural teeth and your budget.

Nervous About the Dentist? We Understand.
Dental anxiety is common, and it should never stand between you and a healthy smile. We specialize in gentle, patient-centered care that keeps you in control at every step.
- Tell us when you book — we schedule extra time and brief the whole team
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) available for safe, fast-acting relaxation
- Step-by-step explanations before every procedure, so nothing is a surprise
- Pause signals — you can ask us to stop at any moment

Now Accepting New Pediatric & Family Patients
We welcome patients of every age, from toddlers to seniors. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first visit by age 1, or when the first tooth appears, to build healthy habits early and prevent problems before they start.
Our team uses child-friendly language, gentle techniques, and a warm approach that turns dental visits into positive experiences. Whole families can often book on the same day — getting everyone’s care handled in a single trip to our office.
Accepted Insurance & Flexible Financing for New Patients
We are in-network with most major PPO plans and offer financing so cost is never a barrier to care. Free benefits verification before every first visit.
Don’t see your plan? Call (408) 946-0777 — if your card says “PPO,” there’s an excellent chance we can work with it. View all accepted insurance plans ›
