In-house surgery means the team handles planning and placement without sending you elsewhere.
Kentfield Dental is seeing patients at a temporary office in Mill Valley while the Kentfield office is under renovation. The practice cares for families across Marin County and the Bay Area. Dr. Soroush Ghaffarpour, DDS writes these notes.
Dental implants replace both the root and the crown.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that sits in the jawbone where a tooth root used to be. A crown goes on top so the result looks and works like a natural tooth. Dr. Soroush Ghaffarpour plans each case in 3D before any surgery begins. The post is placed during a short visit at the office.
Patients who have lost a tooth from decay, injury, or gum disease often choose this option. The bone around the site stays healthier because the implant provides support like a real root would.
Other procedures handled the same way.
Same-day implants, wisdom teeth removal, surgical extractions, sinus lifts with grafting, and All-on-X full-arch implants are all done with the same 3D planning and in-house approach. All-on-X cases are planned with Dr. Jonathan Winfield, a board-certified prosthodontist, so the surgery and the final teeth fit together from the start.
These services help people who need several teeth addressed at once or who have bone that needs building first. The goal stays the same: fewer outside referrals and care that stays coordinated.
Care stays local for Marin patients.
Kentfield Dental serves patients across Mill Valley, Marin County, and the Bay Area. The Mill Valley office is temporary while the Kentfield office is under renovation. Every step from imaging to placement happens under one roof with the same team following the case.
If you have questions about whether an implant or another procedure fits your situation, call (415) 456-5402 to schedule a visit. The team explains options in plain terms and answers what comes next.
The bottom line: In-house surgery keeps planning and treatment together for simpler care.
Frequently asked questions
With good home care and regular visits, implants often last many years. Dr. Soroush Ghaffarpour checks the site at each recall to keep the bone and crown healthy.

Yes. The scan shows nerve location so the procedure stays precise and the risk of numbness stays low.
