Your first visit

Your first visit lays the foundation for our relationship. We'll take time to learn your medical and dental history and give you a chance to get to know Dr. Saboowala. We usually book a longer appointment for first visits, so there's plenty of time to answer your questions and talk through any concerns.

Save time with online forms

Make your first appointment even faster, and save paper, by completing your new patient forms online before you arrive.

After your treatment

We'll give you written aftercare instructions for your procedure. It helps to write down your questions beforehand, for example how to manage discomfort, what to eat, whether you can drive home, and when your permanent restoration will be ready, so we can go over them together.

If anything comes up once you're home, such as pain that gets worse, swelling or bleeding that won't stop, call us at (408) 255-1700. Dr. Saboowala can be reached 7 days a week until 9 p.m.
