Welcome to Cherry Chase Dental!
Compassionate, Personalized Dentistry in Sunnyvale, CA
When dental problems arise or you simply want to maintain healthy smiles for your family, choosing the right dentist in Sunnyvale CA makes all the difference. Dr. Uyen Huynh has built Cherry Chase Dental on a simple philosophy: every patient deserves to feel truly heard, respected, and cared for during their dental experience.
Many patients tell us they’ve finally found their “dental home” here—a place where anxious feelings melt away and oral health becomes something you can manage with confidence rather than dread. Dr. Huynh combines technical precision with a naturally calming presence, creating an atmosphere where even nervous patients find themselves relaxing in the chair and actually engaging with their treatment plan.
Our Mission
Cherry Chase Dental exists to change how you think about going to the dentist in Sunnyvale CA. Dr. Uyen Huynh believes oral health impacts far more than just your teeth—it influences your confidence, your systemic health, and your quality of life. That’s why our practice emphasizes preventive dental care that keeps you out of the emergency chair and helps preserve your natural teeth for decades to come.
We’ve deliberately kept our practice small and boutique-style so Dr. Huynh can spend real time with each person, building relationships that last years. You won’t find a rushed, assembly-line approach here. Instead, you’ll discover what it feels like when a dental team genuinely invests in your well-being and treats you like family from day one.
Meet the Doctor
Dr. Uyen Huynh’s journey to becoming a dentist in Sunnyvale CA started halfway around the world in Saigon, Vietnam. At 19, she left everything familiar to pursue higher education in America, driven by determination and a dream of working in healthcare. Her Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from UC Davis provided a scientific foundation, while her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry—earned with honors—taught her the technical skills she uses daily.
But what truly defines Dr. Huynh’s approach is her belief that dentistry offers a rare blend: the precision of medical science combined with the creativity of hands-on artistry. She lights up when discussing how a root canal relieved someone’s agony or how veneers gave a shy patient newfound confidence. Her husband Jasper’s love for the Bay Area convinced them to plant permanent roots here, and Dr. Huynh has embraced this community fully while staying connected to her Vietnamese heritage through regular visits to see her parents.

Why Choose Us
Teeth Cleanings (Periodontal)
We understand that healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile. Our teeth cleanings (periodontal) go beyond surface-level care to target bacteria and plaque buildup below the gum line. This specialized treatment helps prevent gum disease, tooth loss, and other serious oral health complications while keeping your smile bright and confident.
At Cherry Chase Dental, our experienced dentist and hygiene team use advanced techniques to provide thorough, comfortable cleanings tailored to your needs. We carefully remove tartar deposits, smooth root surfaces, and may apply antimicrobial treatments to promote healing. Regular periodontal maintenance visits help you maintain optimal gum health and protect your investment in your smile for years to come.
Invisalign
Cherry Chase Dental offers a modern solution for adults and teens seeking straighter teeth without visible metal braces. Our Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom, clear aligners that gently move your teeth into ideal position. These removable trays let you maintain your normal routine while discreetly transforming your smile week by week.
We begin with a comprehensive consultation where we evaluate your bite and design your personalized treatment roadmap. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next stage. You’ll visit our dentist periodically to monitor your alignment progress, ensuring predictable results and a stunning smile you’ll love to show off.
Veneers
Achieve a flawless, magazine-worthy smile with custom porcelain restorations designed specifically for you. Veneers are thin shells that bond to the front of your teeth, instantly correcting chips, stains, gaps, and misalignment. This transformative cosmetic solution delivers natural-looking results that can last for years with proper care and maintenance.
Our dentist begins by preparing your teeth and taking precise impressions to craft veneers that match your desired shape and shade. We’ll place temporary restorations while your custom pieces are created in a dental laboratory. Once ready, Cherry Chase Dental carefully bonds each veneer to your teeth, revealing a stunning smile transformation that enhances your confidence and appearance.
Crowns
Protect and strengthen compromised teeth with custom-designed caps that blend seamlessly into your smile. Our crowns rebuild teeth affected by severe decay, large fillings, or fractures, preventing extraction and preserving your natural bite. This proven treatment extends the life of damaged teeth while maintaining comfortable chewing function and confident aesthetics.
Our dentist at Cherry Chase Dental will shape the affected tooth and capture digital impressions for precision fabrication. We provide a comfortable temporary restoration during the creation process at our trusted laboratory. Within weeks, your permanent crown is bonded securely, delivering durability and natural appearance that helps you eat, speak, and smile without hesitation.
Extractions
Sometimes removing a problematic tooth is the best path toward optimal oral health and comfort. Extractions become necessary when teeth are severely decayed, infected, crowded, or impacted, causing pain or threatening surrounding structures. We prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure using effective numbing techniques and sedation options tailored to your anxiety level.
We at Cherry Chase Dental carefully evaluate your situation with X-rays before recommending removal. Our dentist gently loosens the tooth and extracts it with minimal discomfort, then provides clear aftercare instructions to promote swift healing. You’ll receive guidance on replacement options if needed, ensuring your smile remains functional and complete for the long term.
Composite Fillings
Repair cavities with tooth-colored restorations that disappear seamlessly into your natural smile. Composite fillings use advanced resin materials that bond directly to your tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy enamel than traditional options. These durable restorations resist staining and temperature sensitivity while providing years of reliable protection against further decay.
We begin by numbing the area and removing decayed tissue to prepare a clean foundation for your filling. Cherry Chase Dental’s dentist then applies the composite material in layers, hardening each with a special light for optimal strength. The final step involves shaping and polishing your restoration to match your bite perfectly, leaving you with a comfortable, invisible repair.

FAQs
What can I expect at my initial dental examination?
Your first visit with our dentist centers on getting acquainted and understanding your complete oral health picture. Dr. Huynh will review your dental history, discuss any current concerns or dental problems, and perform a thorough examination that may include X-rays depending on your needs. You’ll leave with clear information about your oral health status and a personalized treatment plan if any care is recommended.
How does your practice approach preventive dental care?
We believe prevention saves you from pain, expense, and tooth loss down the road, so we emphasize education alongside regular dental checkups. Dr. Huynh and our dental professionals will discuss proper oral hygiene techniques tailored to your specific mouth, identify risk factors you should monitor, and recommend an appointment schedule that matches your individual dental health needs. Our goal is keeping you out of crisis mode through proactive caries management and early intervention.
Why do patients say your office feels different?
The boutique atmosphere our dentist cultivated prioritizes quality interactions over quantity of patients, which fundamentally changes the dental experience. Dr. Huynh personally handles most procedures rather than shuffling you between providers, creating continuity and deeper familiarity with your case. Our dental staff genuinely enjoys building relationships with people, and patients notice that warmth immediately—many mention feeling like they’re visiting friends rather than enduring a clinical obligation.
What happens if I need specialized dental services?
While Dr. Huynh provides a broad range of dental procedures in-house, certain complex cases benefit from specialist expertise. When that happens, we’ll refer you to trusted colleagues we know personally and coordinate your care to ensure smooth transitions. Our dental team stays involved in your treatment journey even when specialists are handling specific aspects, maintaining continuity and ensuring everyone works toward your best outcome.
How does Dr. Huynh handle patients with dental anxiety?
Dr. Huynh’s naturally calm demeanor and patient communication style help nervous individuals feel safe rather than rushed or judged. She explains what she’s doing throughout dental procedures, takes breaks when you need them, and uses gentle techniques that minimize discomfort. Many anxious patients have told our dentist they were shocked to discover appointments could actually feel manageable—some even relaxing—when the dental team truly prioritizes your emotional comfort alongside your dental health.
