Finding a pediatric dentist near Milpitas is about more than convenience. It is about finding a team that will treat your child with skill, warmth, and the kind of technology that makes dental visits something kids can feel good about. Milpitas families deserve care that fits their busy lives, and that starts with a practice close enough to actually get to on a regular basis.
At Pediatric Dentistry of San Jose, we have been welcoming families from Milpitas and across the South Bay for decades. Our office is located in East San Jose, just a short drive from Milpitas, and we are proud to serve as a trusted dental home for children at every stage of their development. From first visits to adolescent care, we are here to build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
We offer a full range of pediatric dental services designed to meet children where they are, whether it is a first exam or a more complex treatment.
Prevention is the foundation of everything we do. Our pediatric exams and cleanings are designed to catch issues early, remove buildup, and give parents a clear picture of their child’s oral health. We also provide fluoride treatments and sealants to protect developing teeth from decay. According to the CDC, tooth decay is one of the most common chronic conditions in children, making early and consistent preventive care essential for long-term health.
One of the things that sets us apart is our use of laser dentistry technology. Laser-assisted procedures are quieter, more precise, and often require less recovery time than traditional approaches. For children who feel anxious at the dentist, laser dentistry can make a meaningful difference in how they experience their visit.
For children who need extra support during procedures, we offer sedation dentistry options to help them stay calm and comfortable. Our team takes every precaution to ensure that sedation is used safely and only when it genuinely benefits the child.
We also provide dental fillings, crowns, mouthguards, emergency dentistry, and early orthodontics evaluations. Our goal is to keep as much care as possible under one roof so Milpitas families do not have to search for multiple providers as their children grow.
We are proud to have board-certified pediatric dentists leading care at our practice.
Dr. Michelle Haghpanah founded our practice with a deep belief in prevention and in building lasting relationships with families. Dr. Haghpanah completed her Master of Public Health at Yale University, her Doctor of Dental Surgery at New York University, and her pediatric dental residency at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, where she served as chief resident. She holds hospital privileges at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford and Kaiser Santa Clara, and is board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Lisa Carrington brings the same commitment to making dental visits positive for every child she sees. Board-certified in pediatric dentistry by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Carrington completed her specialty training at USC and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery with honors from the University of the Pacific and is deeply connected to the community she serves, living locally right here in San Jose. Dr. Carrington’s focus on building relationships with patients and their families makes her a natural fit for Milpitas families looking for a dentist they can trust year after year. You can learn more about Dr. Carrington at her provider page.
Choosing a pediatric dentist is one of the most important decisions a parent makes for their child’s health, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Every dentist on our team has completed advanced specialty training in pediatric dentistry beyond general dental school. Board certification represents an additional commitment to the highest standards of care specifically for children.
Our laser dentistry capabilities allow us to treat patients more gently and precisely than many traditional practices. This technology also supports procedures like tongue-tie release, which can have a significant impact on infants and young children.
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans and are happy to help families navigate the claims process. Our team works hard to make quality care as accessible as possible. For more detail on what we accept, visit our insurance information page.
Every aspect of our office is designed with children in mind, from the environment to the way our team communicates with young patients. We believe a positive early experience at the dentist shapes a child’s relationship with oral health for years to come.
