Our Story
Rooted in San Jose, built on legacy
Dr. Aishwarya Kumar founded Aqua Dentistry on a simple belief: every patient deserves to feel at ease, informed, and genuinely cared for. In late 2024, she merged her practice with the beloved office of Dr. Kevin W. Calvert — a third-generation dentist whose 40 years of compassionate care set a standard we’re proud to carry forward.
Today, Aqua Dentistry is a larger, more comprehensive home for San Jose families — one where tradition and technology work side by side.
Why patients choose Aqua Dentistry
From your first call to your last appointment, every part of our practice is built around one goal: making you feel at home.
Anxiety-free environment
From painless injections to a calm, welcoming space — every detail is designed to put you at ease before treatment begins.
Conservative approach
We recommend only what's genuinely needed. Your long-term health guides every treatment decision — not production targets.
Silicon Valley technology
CBCT 3D imaging, Perle AI-assisted X-rays, and digital impressions deliver more accurate diagnoses and more comfortable procedures.
Family-centered care
From children's first visits to full-mouth reconstructions, we're your family's dental home for every stage of life.
Serving greater San Jose
Located in Midtown, we serve Willow Glen, Rose Garden, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Campbell, and the surrounding communities.
Flexible payment options
In-network with all major PPOs, plus CareCredit, Cherry 0% financing, and our own in-house membership plan.

What we stand for
Three principles guide every decision we make — from how we set up our operatories to how we talk to our patients.
Comfort first
Dental anxiety is real, and we take it seriously. We've built every part of our practice — from our techniques to our team culture — so you feel safe and respected from the moment you walk in.
Conservative care
We treat what you need, nothing more. Every recommendation is grounded in your goals, your health, and your budget — and we'll always explain exactly why we're suggesting it.
Community rooted
We're proud to serve one of Silicon Valley's most diverse neighborhoods, and to honor the legacy of compassionate, community-centered care that Dr. Calvert built over four decades.
