About Dr. Lowell Tan
This Gilroy practice serves patients across south Santa Clara County, including Morgan Hill and Hollister, with a general restorative scope. Its stated philosophy is long-term care built on preventive dentistry while addressing immediate needs, beginning with a thorough examination and an individually drafted treatment plan rather than a fixed protocol. Restorative work recorded here includes porcelain veneers, tooth-coloured adhesive fillings, partial-coverage crowns intended to conserve remaining tooth structure, and full crowns and bridges in both traditional and implant-supported forms. Implant treatment is coordinated and restored in-office following an assessment of candidacy. Occlusal evaluation is part of the workup: bite analyses assess malocclusion, jaw alignment and clenching or grinding habits that bear on the biomechanical longevity of restorations. Preventive and hygiene services, including sealants, fluoride and periodic examination with radiographs, run alongside the restorative work.

Common Questions
What restorative options does this practice offer when a tooth is too damaged for a filling?
The practice places partial-coverage crowns specifically to conserve remaining tooth structure, as well as full crowns when decay or damage is too substantial for a filling or when a needed filling would be especially large. Crowns are used to repair cracked or broken teeth, to support teeth damaged by grinding or excessive wear, and to retain a bridge replacing missing teeth.
Does the practice assess bite and jaw function, not just individual teeth?
Yes. Bite analyses are a stated part of its workup and are described as assessing long-term outcomes. The analysis determines whether an uneven bite, or malocclusion, is present, whether the jaw is misaligned, and whether the patient clenches or grinds, in which case a night guard or other treatment options may be indicated.
What filling materials are available here?
The office offers several filling options and states that the material is selected with the patient according to appearance preferences and whether the restoration will be visible. Materials named are gold, amalgam, porcelain and composite resin, with colour-matching of the restoration to the surrounding dentition where a tooth-coloured material is chosen.
How does a first visit here work?
A new patient receives a thorough examination that the practice describes as going beyond what most dentists provide. From that diagnosis the office drafts an extensive and individually considered treatment plan covering both immediate needs and longer-term maintenance. Reviewers describe examinations as thorough, with diagnoses explained in understandable terms and clear treatment options presented.
Does the practice place implants, or only restore them?
The recorded scope is treatment coordination and restoration of implants. The office conducts an assessment and examination to determine whether a patient is a candidate, then works on the fixed or removable restoration the implant supports. Crowns, bridges and dentures are all offered in implant-supported as well as traditional forms.
