Gayatri Sakhrani, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

Dr Sakhrani and the staff at her Cupertino office are truly outstanding! Everyone is extremely courteous, professional and great at their jobs.  My family has been well taken care of over the years and it is such a good feeling to know you always will get really good dental care by caring and qualified professionals.  Going to the dentist isn’t anyone’s favorite activity — but this dental office, with it’s friendly atmosphere and staff, makes the experience as pleasant as possible.  To anyone out there looking for really good dental care – I highly recommend Dr. Sakhrani and her staff.

I have been Dr. Sakhrani’s patient for over 10yrs now. Dr. Sakhrani is kind and gentle and has a wonderful bedside manner. She did crowns on my front teeth years ago and I just love my smile. I get so many compliments on on my smile. She has a great staff and they are polite and respectful. All of my family and lot of my friends see Dr. Sakhrani. I look forward to my dental visits. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sakhrani

Dr. Gayatri is the best dentist that I have had over the years. What I appreciate about her is she, she has a conservative approach to her treatment (as in do only what is necessary to maintain good dental hygiene). Last year was tough. I had a crown fall out right after shelter in place. Given that most of my work is over VC and the crown that broke was the front tooth, I was in a panic to get it fixed. Dr. Sakhrani really worked with me and made sure that I got the care that I needed (and quickly). This is an example of the her care and patient centric service philosophy. Her practice is top notch with excellent staff (who are also super helpful and will work with you to schedule appointments), top of the line equipment and knowledgable dental staff. I unequivocally recommend her!!

Dr. Sakhrani and her staff are very professional and patient oriented. I have been her patient for a few years now. I was a bit hesitant to go for my appointment due to COVID-19. I was very pleased with all they are doing to create a safe and welcoming environment during these unusual times! I highly recommend her as a dentist. She is very personable and explains all options and treatment plans to meet your specific needs.

I have been with Dr. Sakhrani for almost 10 years now . i must say she is an awesome dentist ,very kind and nice person. When i go to her office i feel like I’m at home. i am very pleased with her work . I always get good, positive vibes from her friendly staff.I got a few crowns done by her years ago and till now they are just perfect. I highly recommend Dr. Sakhrani you will be very happy with her and her friendly staff.

I have been going to see Dr. Sakhrani ever since she started her practice in Fremont.  Many years.  She is the absolute best.  I’ve always been nervous in the dental chair, as long as I can remember.  With her I am calm and totally relaxed.  She is so gentle and caring.  She and her staff are friendly and very professional.  I’m thankful to be in her care.

Our family of four have been patients of Dr. Sakhrani since she took over the Mission Hills Dentistry practice in Fremont many years ago (8 or 9 years? time flies!). Before Dr. Sakhrani, I had neglected my teeth for many years, in hindsight, mostly because I could not find a dentistry or dentist that I could relate to and made me feel comfortable. At one point I had recurring gum bleeding and was in terrible periodontal health and was extremely fortunate to be referred to Dr. Sakhrani by a friend who raved about her and encouraged me to go see her. Dr. Sakhrani was warm, sincere, caring and put me at ease immediately. Without making me feel embarrassed, she explained the problems with my gums and that she could help me fix them with some commitment on my part. She put me on a accelerated schedule of regular deep cleanings, and like a good parent or a good teacher, encouraged/coaxed/chided me with each visit to regularize my flossing. She convinced me that anything done for 2 weeks can form a lifelong habit and kept suggesting different ways that I could get into this habit. Every time I lapsed and drifted, she would gently put me back on course, till it became ingrained into my daily habits and my gums improved and entirely stopped bleeding. I felt a lot more confident about my breath! In this process, the practice hygienists (I’ve seen them all over time I think – and never met one that I didn’t like) and assistants were amazing as well – and played their equal role in deep cleaning my teeth and keeping me on track to inculcate a flossing habit. They were always most considerate to regularly ask if I was OK and to let them know if I felt any discomfort at all. At the end they always lauded me (as if I did the hard work!) for my valor and patience in sitting tight through the procedure. At the end of each visit, they give you a little goodie bag of travel size toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss, which I somehow seem to look forward to (hey who doesn’t like a goodie bag?) At every step of the process, they explained me what was going on, the planned procedure and the progress I was making. They take annual X-Rays and the X-Ray machine and process is quick and painless as well. All the records are methodically organized and I find it rewarding and interesting to see my records from over the years. Since my initial treatment, over the years I’ve had one crown replaced (it was made in India many years back and had fallen apart). Dr.Sakhrani made an impeccable fit, even matching the color of the crown to my existing teeth. She was meticulous and took great pride and joy in improving my bite and look of my teeth. She always complements me on my good teeth and brushing habit, and tells me when she finds something concerning “we don’t have to do anything right now – but I’m going to keep an eye on this”. I feel she’s looking out for my best interest and not just trying to pawn off some treatment on me. Over time my wife started seeing Dr.Sakhrani and she’s had some crown work, a cap replacement, and Invisalign done. My wife’s very happy with the work and will not go to anyone else. Needless to say, our two children grew up going to Dr.Sakhrani as well. One time my daughter slipped and fell on her face in school and we were in a terrible panic as her teeth had come out and bleeding. Dr. Sakhrani promptly came in (it was her day off) to office and took us to her trusted orthodontal surgeon to get her teeth restored. She was there for us through this scary time. My daughter and son now enjoy their routine visits to the practice. A few years back, we moved to the South Bay – but still travel to Dr.Sakhrani’s Fremont office and will not go anywhere else, oh, except to her other office in Redwood City. As I now work in Palo Alto, I was thrilled when she opened another practice in Redwood City – and tend to visit the Redwood City practice (which is smaller and cosier with the same professional staff and wonderful treatment), while my family go to the Fremont practice. The front office staff in both offices is courteous, prompt and professional – their appointments work like clockwork and I’ve never had to wait more than few minutes to get started. They have a multi-point reminder system for appointments and I’m rather fond of their SMS messaging reminders that come just a day or two before and have never missed an appointment yet. Both offices are gorgeously done and worthy to be featured in Architecture Digest so quite pleasant places to wait in (though the wait is never long). We feel extremely fortunate to be under the care of Dr.Sakhrani and highly encourage you to go visit her practice. You will not find a dentist who is more passionate about dentistry, caring, competent, ethical, experienced and equipped and a staff and office that is better then Mission Hills Dentistry.

Although I moved back to the Peninsula years ago, I have been driving over to Fremont to see Dr. Sakhrani for all my dental needs for the past 10 years. I am now delighted that her practice has expanded to Redwood City. I can’t say enough positive about the quality of her staff and how pleasantly and efficiently she helped me with a range of needs including a very satisfactory crown, bonding, whitening, Invisalign, cleanings, and general dental health. Dr. Sakhrani has met me in her office over a holiday weekend when I had an urgent situation. She has always discussed all options in an open and balanced way, and supported me in deciding what’s best for me. While sometimes going to the dentist is associated with stress, the oppsoite has been true for me. For anyone near Redwood City who needs a good dentist I would strongly recommend giving Dr. Sakhrani a try.

Dr. Sakhrani is “THE BEST best. I have never see the dentist who is such a good listener, never pushes you for services and is calm in all circumstances. She makes my family feel very comfortable and is very patient. I love to go to her. I got my smile back and I always follow through with her instructions becasue I can trust her.

Absolutely great!! I came in to get a filling done but had to leave for another appointment an hour later. Doctor Sakhrani  was working on another patient at the time but swiftly and efficiently finished the work for that patient and mine within 30 min! The job was done with great care as well, no pain at all 🙂 they also provide flexible plans depending on your insurance! highly recommend!

I have been going to this practice since 2011 and will continue to see Dr. S for all my dental needs because she is an outstanding dentist who treats her clients as family and provides the most gentle care. I am always amazed at how great she gives injections. Her procedures are almost always painless for me and she definitely will take her time to make sure you are comfortable. Best of all, I have never had any problems with my fillings coming out! The staff is always kind and professional. There are many dental practices around and closer to home but nothing beats the warm and sincere care that I get from Dr. S. She truly cares for each and everyone of her patients.

I have been with Dr. Gayatri Sakhrani from the days of her working under Dr. Kaufman in Berkeley, CA to today and for many, more years in the future. Why? Because of the wonderful care, patience and encouragement that she provides to build good habits (as I do keep regressing on flossing on a daily basis) that I love going back for my dental needs now that she has her own Cupertino practice too. I have lived out of Bay area couple of times to other cities too and every time I have moved back, she has been my dentist. Staff in the office is excellent as they keep me informed of my upcoming appointments, rescheduling easily when I have had work conflicts and of the other pain(s) of going to a dentist i.e. insurance. No complaints about the professionalism and the welcoming smile by everyone in the office, including the different hygienists that I have seen over the course of the years.

Dr. Sakhrani is the absolute best, I hate going to the dentist’s offices cuz usually, dentists are so impatient with the patience or lack empathy. However, Dr. Gayatri Sakhrani was so friendly and nice. I had to go in for multiple visits to do an x-ray, filling, cleaning, polishing. These things hurt and are not fun, but because the staff and the doctor are patient it passes by quick There is no wait time, not once did I go and I had to wait. She even hires a friendly staff. The woman at the front desk Ruth even radiates the most beautiful energy and is so friendly and tries to accommodate your schedule. I totally recommend!!

I have been going to Dr. Sakhrani for many years, and she has never failed to do an amazing job. She always has a smile on her face and the staff has always been super friendly. I recently had a cleaning and filling done at the office and it was absolutely painless. I was hesitant to go to the office because of COVID 19, but I felt very safe there with all the precautionary measures taken. I highly recommend Dr. Sakhrani and her incredible staff.

Moving to a new State is hard enough and finding Dr. Sakhrani through a client was a wonderful blessing. My husband and I both needed our 6 month cleaning and the staff was wonderful and welcoming. Dr. Sakhrani put a crown for my implant on that I didn’t get finished before we had to move and it was a positive experience and she was very professional and comforting!

I have visited Dr.Sakhrani today and must say I have never felt so good being at a dentist’s office. The staff and other doctors were very nice and have explained the issues i have and treatment methods and various options. Dr.Julie was very very nice, she did the gum assessment and cleaning for me. She has spent good time telling what she was going to check for, the results etc. She even explained how to take care of my teeth in general. I will be taking a deep cleaning and a few fillings here and will be visiting regularly for next 1-2 years. I have visited one other dentist in Fremont and I could tell rightaway that they were looking for money, but I haven’t felt that for even a moment when im here rather Dr.Sakhrani and Dr.Julie made me feel genuinely that they care more for my teeth and dental health getting better. Glad I made the choice to go for a second opinion and visited her.

I have been visiting Mission Hills Family Dentistry for the past 4 years. This hospital is by far the best dental hospital in the bay area. Dr. Sakhrani and her team are very friendly and eloquent while explaining about the problem in my teeth and the steps to remediate the problem. Thank you Dr. Sakhrani for restoring my “SMILE” back to me.

Dr Gayatri Sakhrani is a personable and nice dentist. She treats me with respect and regard. She thoroughly will answer your questions and provide the best options and treatment plans. She is knowledgeable and gives me VIP attention. Even if I have to cross one edge of Newark to the other end of Fremont, I am comfortable. Once, I had an emergency and she left home to meet me at her clinic to fix my tooth dilemma on a weekend. I am a happy patient. It is important to be able to trust your dentist and I trust Dr Gayatri Sakhrani

After trying out couple other places in Fremont, found Dr.Gayathri Shakrani from yelp, and after reading positive reviews about her, I started going to her, and she gradually fixed all my problems, and literally saved me from a root canal also… Very trustable with whatever she says, and can blindly follow her instructions… Very friendly even my daughter liked her in her first visit itself. I highly recommend her for the whole family.

Dr. Sakhrani is amazing! She is super professional, caring, incredibly knowledgable, and all around an amazing dentist.  I have been going to her for about 7 years now, and my teeth are always nice, fresh, and clean. Her friendly appointment desk employees remember to call me about my appointments, and they always remember my name. Also, her lobby is stocked with current magazines. Of course, who can forget the dental goody bags as well. Dr. Sakhrani is sweet and remembers to ask me how my work is going when I go in to see her. They accept most dental insurance plans, and the location is convenient. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Hands-down 5 stars!!

Dr. Sakhrani has provided me with excellent dental services for many years. She is always polite, friendly and on time which I appreciate with my busy schedule. She excel with her work product and has a very desirable quality, SOFT HANDS. Without reservation, I certainly would recommend her and her staff to my family and friends. I have lived in this area my entire life and am familiar with quite a number of dentists. I truly believe she shines when compared with her competitors. Do not hesitate to call her office for your dental needs.
