Silicon Valley Tools
For Exceptional Care

We invest in the most advanced dental technology available — because your smile deserves precision that only the best tools can deliver.

Digital Impressions

iTero Element 5D Scanner

See your new smile before we start.

The iTero Element 5D is the most advanced intraoral scanner available today. It captures a complete 3D model of your teeth and bite in under 60 seconds — no putty, no gagging, no discomfort.

With Invisalign Outcome Simulator built in, you can preview your Invisalign result in real time during your consultation — before committing to a single aligner. iTero's NIRI (Near-Infrared Imaging) technology also detects early interproximal cavities invisible to X-rays.

Used by fewer than 15% of practices in the Bay Area.

Key Advantages

  • Full 3D digital model in 60 seconds
  • Invisalign outcome simulation
  • NIRI interproximal cavity detection
  • Eliminates messy impressions
  • Digital records stored forever
  • Precise crown & veneer fabrication
  • Implant restorations designed digitally
  • Integrates with our lab network
Signature Protocol

5-in-1 Same Day Implant System

One appointment. A complete smile.

Developed by Dr. James Ho, our 5-in-1 Same Day Implant Protocol consolidates what traditional practices spread across 4–6 appointments into a single, seamless surgical session.

Using computer-guided implant placement software and our in-house CBCT 3D X-ray system, we plan your entire implant case digitally before you arrive. On surgery day: extraction, socket preservation, sinus augmentation (if needed), implant placement, and provisional crown — all completed while you're comfortable in the chair.

Dr. Ho pioneered this protocol — unavailable at most practices.

Key Advantages

  • One visit replaces 4–6 traditional appointments
  • Computer-guided surgical precision
  • CBCT 3D X-ray planning pre-surgery
  • Walk in, walk out same day
  • Lower total cost vs traditional implants
  • 48–72 hour recovery for most patients
  • Suitable for single tooth to full arch
  • Industry-leading success rates
Minimally Invasive

PINHOLE Surgical Technique™

Gum recession reversed without grafting.

The Chao PINHOLE Surgical Technique® — for which Dr. Ho holds official certification — is a revolutionary scalpel-free approach to treating gum recession. A small pinhole is made in the gum; specialized instruments gently loosen and reposition the tissue over exposed roots.

Compared to traditional gum grafting, PINHOLE eliminates the donor site, dramatically reduces recovery time, and allows treatment of multiple teeth in a single appointment.

Dr. Ho is among fewer than 100 certified PINHOLE practitioners in California.

Key Advantages

  • No cutting, no sutures, no donor site
  • Multiple teeth treated in one visit
  • Same-day recovery (hours, not weeks)
  • Immediate root coverage
  • Eliminates sensitivity fast
  • Long-lasting, proven outcomes
Digital Practice

Fully Digital Treatment Planning

Precision before the first appointment.

Our practice operates on a 100% digital workflow. From your first scan to final restoration, every measurement, every plan, and every record is digital — eliminating the inaccuracies inherent in analog dentistry.

Our CBCT 3D X-ray system produces a complete volumetric image of your jaw, teeth, nerves, and sinuses in under 15 seconds. Combined with our iTero scanner, we design your treatment plan on-screen before touching a handpiece.

Full digital workflow means fewer appointments and better outcomes.

Key Advantages

  • CBCT 3D X-ray for surgical planning
  • Digital smile design software
  • In-house CEREC same-day crowns
  • Cloud-based patient records
  • Digital treatment plan review with you
  • AI-assisted caries detection
