Sunnyvale is home to some of Silicon Valley’s most established families and professionals — people at Apple, Google, LinkedIn, and dozens of other tech campuses who bring the same high expectations they have at work to every service they choose, including their dental care. Aqua Dentistry is a family and general dentistry practice in Midtown San Jose, just 17 minutes from Sunnyvale via US-101 South, offering the kind of thorough, unhurried care that quality-focused Sunnyvale patients drive for.
Dr. Aishwarya Kumar, DDS, and Dr. Jessica Mehta lead a bilingual team that speaks Spanish and Filipino — an important detail in a city as internationally diverse as Sunnyvale, where nearly half of all residents were born outside the United States. From clear aligner therapy to dental implants to children’s first visits, our practice coordinates care for every member of your family under one roof.
Sunnyvale patients have no shortage of dental options, so the question is what makes the 17-minute drive to Aqua Dentistry worth it. Here is what we hear most often from patients who travel from Sunnyvale.
Aqua Dentistry provides the full spectrum of dental services Sunnyvale families need, all coordinated from one Midtown San Jose practice. Each service is available to Sunnyvale patients through the same trusted team.
Dr. Kumar holds dual dental degrees — one from India and one from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco — bringing an uncommon depth of clinical training to her Midtown San Jose practice. She is Invisalign certified and currently completing her graduation from the COI Academy in Seattle, advancing her expertise in comprehensive occlusal and implant dentistry.
Dr. Kumar is an active member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Santa Clara Dental Society, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. She acquired Aqua Dentistry in 2024, building on over 40 years of patient care history at the practice, and has expanded services to include dental implants and implant-supported dentures — a reflection of the broader, more complex care needs her Sunnyvale and South Bay patients often bring.
“I understand that Sunnyvale patients making the drive want a practice that respects their time and delivers care they can trust from the moment they walk in. That’s the standard I hold every appointment to.” — Dr. Aishwarya S. Kumar, DDS

Soft tissue lasers represent a significant advancement in dental care, offering precise and minimally invasive treatments. This technology enables dentists to decontaminate deep periodontal pockets effectively and recontour gum tissue in a bloodless environment. Laser dentistry often results in reduced discomfort, faster healing times, and improved outcomes for a variety of soft tissue procedures.
Benefits for you: Less pain, quicker healing, and more comfortable treatments.
Intraoral cameras bring a new level of patient education and diagnostic precision to dental care. These small, pen-sized devices allow dentists to capture and display high-resolution images of your mouth, teeth, and gums on a screen in real-time. This technology enables patients to see exactly what the dentist sees, facilitating better understanding of dental conditions such as cracked teeth or leaking fillings, and promoting informed decision-making about treatment options.
Benefits for you: Better understanding of your oral health, improved communication with your dentist.
