At My Milpitas Dentist, our greatest strength is our people. From our skilled dentists, Dr. Anthony Yen and Dr. Nicole Chhea, to our friendly hygienists and office staff, every team member is dedicated to making your visit enjoyable and completely personalized.
Proudly Rooted in Milpitas
We love calling Milpitas home, and we’re proud to give back to the community that supports us. Our team regularly donates dental supplies to the Milpitas school district and local shelters, and we’ve joined volunteer trips to Mexico to provide free care where it’s needed most.
Finding us couldn’t be easier. We’re located in the heart of downtown Milpitas, right at the corner of S. Main St. and Serra Way, just a short walk from the Great Mall. Look for the professional building and head to the top floor; you'll find us there. If you need assistance, please don't hesitate to call us for directions or anything else you may need.
