Lotus Dental Group · San Jose, CA
Your Neighborhood Dentist in Willow Glen
Comprehensive family, cosmetic, and implant dentistry at 1660 Willow St #7 — in the heart of Willow Glen, San Jose.
A Dental Practice Rooted in Willow Glen
Lotus Dental Group has practiced dentistry in Willow Glen, San Jose for more than 25 years. Dr. Prathima Chawla and her team treat patients from Willow Glen and the surrounding San Jose neighborhoods at our office at 1660 Willow St #7, San Jose, CA 95125.
Being part of this community for so long means we see the same families year after year — parents who started as patients themselves now bring their kids in, and that kind of continuity is only possible from a practice that stays put in the neighborhood it serves.
Comprehensive Care, All Under One Roof
Rather than referring patients out to a separate office for anything beyond a routine cleaning, Lotus Dental Group handles general, cosmetic, restorative, implant, and emergency dentistry in the same Willow Glen office — one team, one set of records, no referral queue.
25+ Years of Experience, One Willow Glen Office
Dr. Chawla has practiced dentistry in the San Jose area for more than 25 years. That experience is why Willow Glen families can get general, cosmetic, restorative, and implant work handled by the same dentist who already knows their history, instead of being sent elsewhere for anything more involved than a cleaning.

Bleeding or Receding Gums? What Gum Disease Treatment Actually Looks Like
Quick answer: Bleeding gums are not normal — they are usually the first sign of gum disease, and the earliest stage (gingivitis) is fully reversible with the right cleaning and home care. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which needs a deeper professional cleaning and ongoing maintenance to control. At Lotus Dental Group, gum disease is diagnosed and treated in the same office as the rest of your care — no referral to a separate periodontist required.
Dr. Prathima Chawla and her team have treated gum disease in Willow Glen and San Jose for more than 25 years, from the first sign of bleeding gums through ongoing periodontal maintenance.

One Office, Every Treatment: Why San Jose Families Are Simplifying Their Dental Care
Quick answer: Most dental problems don't stay in one lane. A cleaning turns up a cavity, a cavity needs a crown, a missing tooth needs an implant consult — and at a single-service practice, each of those is a referral to a different office, a different intake form, and a new waiting room. A comprehensive dental practice handles general, cosmetic, restorative, implant, and emergency care under one roof, with one team that already has your history.
Lotus Dental Group has practiced this way in Willow Glen for more than 25 years. Dr. Prathima Chawla and her team see the whole picture of a patient's dental health — not just the single procedure in front of them — because they are usually the ones who will be treating whatever comes next, too.

Back-to-School Dental Visits in San Jose: Get the Whole Family In Before the First Bell
Quick answer: Book back-to-school dental checkups two to four weeks before classes begin. San José Unified starts Thursday, August 6, 2026, so late July through the first week of August is the right window. A back-to-school visit covers a cleaning, an exam, X-rays if they are due, and fluoride or sealants when needed — catching small problems before they turn into pain, emergency visits, and missed school days.
Every August, the same thing happens at dental offices across San Jose: the phones light up during the first week of school, and by then the convenient after-school appointment slots are gone. Families who book in late July get the times they actually want.
At Lotus Dental Group in Willow Glen, Dr. Prathima Chawla and her team have been getting San Jose families ready for the school year for more than 25 years — and because the practice handles every area of dentistry under one roof, most families can be seen together in a single trip.
