Meet the Team
Welcome to StarBrite Dental by Dr. Munira Lokhandwala
Welcome to StarBrite Dental
Dr. Lokhandwala started her dental practice in Fremont, California, almost 20 years ago and has been practicing for more than that in the Bay Area.
Currently, we have two dental practices, one in Fremont and one in Dublin, California.
Our practice’s vision is to provide the highest level of dental care using the best materials and the latest technology.
Any practice is made successful by not just one or two individuals or the doctors, but by the entire team. We have an excellent team at Starbright Dental, from the front desk to our back office.
Everyone is trained to deliver the highest level of patient care with empathy, understanding, and a clear purpose of providing the top-notch dental care that every patient deserves.
We specialize in Implant Dentistry. We have placed hundreds, if not thousands, of implants over the last 15 years.
Additionally, we also do Invisalign and Endodontics treatments for our patients. We are also very well known for some creative cosmetic work to improve your smile.
In terms of using special equipment, we have always had the vision to have the best equipment available for the dental office.
We have the iTero machine, a scanner that allows the dental preparation to be scanned to create crowns.
We have an in-house milling unit from Glidewell, which helps prepare porcelain crowns. We use that machine to deliver a complete solution from a broken tooth or a root canal to a full placement of a crown in just one visit.
We have a vast range of clients as our patients, families who come from a wide range of backgrounds all over the bay area. We are blessed to have patients who drive 20 to 30 miles to come to our practice and be treated by us.
We love to see children and are also good with anxious patients. We perform dentistry under sedation conditions using the blue pill.
We welcome you to StarBrite Dental, and our associates will be pleased to have you as a part of our dental family.
