Doctors Dalvir Pannu, who co-authored a book on dental implants, adds to the wealth of knowledge that Pannu Dental's team of doctors taps into as they restore pristine smiles. In addition to penning a book, Dr. Pannu has also appeared on NBC Bay Area's Living Well segment to talk about implants. After x-rays map out mouthscapes, doctors discuss the treatment and desired results with patients, enabling them to crabwalk into the procedure worry-free. Dental implants fill in for missing teeth with titanium-anchored implants that leave nearby teeth intact, unlike previous methods of tooth replacement, such as bridges or hot gluing a marshmallow to gum-lines. After it is implanted, the anchor may take up to six months to fully heal. When the healing process is complete, the doctor installs a custom crown and abutment perfectly matched to surrounding teeth. Although the timeframe between implant surgery and crown completion may vary, the final, natural-looking results will help increase confidence during photo ops and rock-candy festivals.

The clinical staff at Elite MD bring their studio-honed expertise to bear on skin-smoothing services such as Botox and Dysport treatments, which target the muscles that cause facial wrinkles and involuntary winking at circus clowns.

Dr. Ganga Thota of Breeze Dental Group has been cleaning, whitening, and straightening smiles for more than 13 years in an office that focuses on patient pampering. As she affixes porcelain veneers or treats TMJ, Dr. Thota's patients recline in dental chairs that gently massage them and watch movies and TV shows or practice singing with dental tools in their mouth. A separate spa room further eases tension with pre- and posttreatment shiatsu massages. Outside, both waiting children and adults can pass the time by playing games on the office's iPads.

Breeze Dental Group also aims to minimize its carbon footprint by keeping electronic dental records to reduce paper use and snapping digital x-rays to eliminate both glow-in-the-dark teeth and the use of hazardous materials. An onsite water-treatment system provides medical-grade water, and electronic faucets curb water waste.

Once patients are situated in the dental chair, a fleet of procedures awaits to spruce up their chompers or help prevent issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, or excessive back talking. Beyond basic cleanings, Dr. Broschinsky addresses cosmetic concerns using everything from veneers to fillings made from a nonmercury composite resin that matches the tooth's shade, and can even straighten teeth sans metal by creating clear, custom-fit Invisalign aligners.
