Lumineers San Jose | About The Practice
Dr. Dalvir S. Pannu, D.D.S.
Dr. Dalvir S. Pannu has been a practicing dentist since 1995. In 1996 he opened his first dental practice in India, where he gained invaluable experience and acumen. In October of 1997 he was invited by the American Dental Association (ADA) to present the table clinic on Endodontics, at their annual session held in Washington, D.C. At this time he fell in love with the United States and became passionate about practicing dentistry in California. He became particularly enamored of the San Francisco Bay area, and soon took up residence and work here.
Dr. Pannu spent several more years gaining superlative expertise as a dentist. And also came to learn and provide advanced techniques and treatment in Invisalign Orthodontics. So, ever passionate for new horizons, in 2003 he founded the Pannu Dental Care in San Jose, California. Not surprisingly, the clinic achieved instant success as well as a tremendous retinue of patients, admirers and professional interests. So the good doctor was inspired to open additional offices in 2004 and 2006, in Fremont and Cupertino, California.
Continuing his interest in cutting edge of dentistry, Dr. Pannu in a short time gained the vast experience in latest innovation in orthodontics: INVISALIGN invisible braces. He also acquired special training in IMPLANT SURGERY. And became one of a handful of prestigious doctors in the region who performs and provides both components of implantation. These two key components are: placement surgery of implants, and restorative surgery that consists of refurbishing implants with crowns.

An avid hiker and runner, Dr. Pannu also loves playing volleyball and chess. He is happily married to Ravneet Pannu, a graduate of the University of Southern California (USC) and former RN with Kaiser Permanente, who is now the business manager at the PANNU DENTAL CARE. The good doctor is also the proud parent of two lovely children: Jay, age seven; and Jasmine, age five.
Dr. Pannu has many concerns and passions in life. Besides being a loving husband and devoted father and serving family and friends, he is deeply committed to his dental practice as well as to helping others. And giving back to the community whenever and however he can. Of course, being a laid-back, congenial kind of guy, Dr. Pannu is also a techno junkie at times. All three of his dental offices are filled with state-of-the-art equipment and gadgets. And while it’s not quite sci-fi material, it definitely well beyond ordinary image screens, power computers, diagnostic cameras and digital x-ray machines.
Having the best that modern dentistry can provide is a great thing, he says. That way he can always offer the best to every patient he is privileged to treat and make smile!
