Get to know Dentist Dr. Vivian Cheng, who serves patients in Milpitas, California.

An accomplished dentist, Dr. Cheng took over the well-established Silicon Valley Dentistry in Milpitas, originally owned by Dr. Alan Grimm for an impressive 40 years. Armed with nearly two decades of experience in both general and cosmetic dentistry, her patients can rest assured that they are in caring and capable hands. 

Her warm demeanor and genuine interest in her patients’ oral health and overall well-being create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere at the practice. From routine check-ups to complex cosmetic procedures, she approaches each case with meticulous attention to detail and a passion for transforming smiles.

Dr. Cheng’s journey in the world of dentistry began with great promise and continues to shine brightly in the heart of Silicon Valley. Graduating with honors from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, one of the nation’s top dental schools, she laid the foundation for an illustrious career in oral healthcare.

Subsequently, she completed a rigorous general practice residency program in the bustling city of New York. This experience further honed her skills in general and cosmetic dentistry, preparing her to provide the highest level of care to her future patients.
On a professional level, Dr. Cheng is a proud member of the prestigious American Dental Association and the California Dental Association, demonstrating her commitment to upholding the highest standards of dentistry. Locally, she is an esteemed member of the Santa Clara Dental Society, where she collaborates with fellow dental professionals to improve oral health and community well-being.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentist’s diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

After getting married and relocating to the Bay Area, Dr. Cheng fell in love with the local community and was captivated by its charm and warmth. Embracing the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people through dentistry, she decided to establish her first practice in Pleasanton, California. Her commitment to patient satisfaction and well-being quickly earned her a reputation as a compassionate and skilled dentist, cherished by her patients and admired by her peers.

Beyond her dedication to dentistry, she cherishes her role as a mother, recognizing it as one of life’s most joyful experiences. She made it a priority to spend valuable time with her little ones, savoring precious moments and fostering strong family bonds. Now that her children have grown older, she has returned with renewed vigor to her passion for dentistry.
