Your Initial Evaluation

The Comprehensive New-Patient Examination

When you visit our Milpitas office for the first time, Dr. Gaganjot Khera and our clinical team dedicate 45 to 60 minutes to evaluating your entire oral-health picture — not just a quick look. A standard new-patient appointment includes:

  • Comprehensive oral exam. A tooth-by-tooth inspection to catch early decay, enamel wear, and failing restorations, so we can treat cavities, worn fillings, and crowns before they need bigger work. Learn about the exam.
  • Periodontal screening. We gently measure your gum pockets to check for gingivitis or advanced gum disease — healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
  • Oral-cancer screening. A thorough check of your lips, tongue, throat, and soft tissues for any early abnormalities.
  • Bite & TMJ evaluation. We assess how your teeth meet and check your jaw for clicking, popping, or grinding, and offer custom night guards and TMJ therapy when needed.
  • Professional hygiene. If your gums are healthy, our hygienists perform a professional cleaning; active disease is routed to our gum-disease treatment program instead.
Modern Care

Advanced Technology in a Calm, Anxiety-Free Setting

We invest in state-of-the-art tools because they make diagnoses safer, faster, and more accurate for our Milpitas patients — and we pair that technology with a genuinely relaxing experience.

100% Digital Diagnostics

Ultra-low-radiation digital X-rays expose you to far less radiation than traditional film, and Pearl AI acts as a second set of eyes to flag microscopic cavities and bone loss. 3D intraoral scanners replace messy impression goop when you need a crown, bridge, or Invisalign aligners.

Managing Dental Anxiety

If the dentist makes you nervous, you’re not alone. Our team is trained to ease anxiety with gentle techniques, clear explanations, and a calm environment. See it for yourself on our office tour or browse the smile gallery.

Patient Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what new and returning patients ask most. Need something else? Contact our office.

How do I complete my new patient forms before my visit?
After you book, we send a secure link by text or email so you can complete your intake forms from home. This lets our team review your medical and dental history in advance and removes waiting-room paperwork. You can also see the full process on our new patients page.
What should I expect at my first dental visit?
Your first appointment runs 45 to 60 minutes and includes a comprehensive oral exam, periodontal screening, oral-cancer screening, a bite and TMJ evaluation, and — if your gums are healthy — a professional cleaning. We review everything we find and answer all of your questions before recommending any treatment.
Which dental insurance plans do you accept?
We’re in-network with most major PPO plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Guardian, GEHA, Humana, Principal, United Concordia, and UnitedHealthcare, and we accept Cigna and MetLife as well. Our team verifies your benefits for free before your visit. See the full list on our accepted insurance page.
Do you offer dental financing or payment plans?
Yes. We offer transparent pricing and flexible, low-to-no-interest monthly payment plans through Cherry and CareCredit, both with instant approval options. Explore everything on our financing and payment plans page.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
No insurance is no problem. We offer competitive self-pay rates and accept cash, major credit cards, and HSA/FSA funds. For larger restorative or cosmetic treatment, our financing partners let you spread the cost into manageable monthly payments.
Do you see patients for dental emergencies?
Yes. We reserve time for same-day emergency dentistry appointments for toothaches, cracked teeth, and infections — and you do not need to be an established patient to be seen. Call (408) 946-0777 right away and we’ll get you in as soon as possible.
What languages does your dental team speak?
Our team is multilingual and assists patients in English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Spanish, and Tagalog, so you can discuss your care comfortably in the language you prefer.
How do I book an appointment as a new patient?
