Dr. Eric Chu

When teeth feel loose or gums start to recede, the search for a specialist narrows quickly. Periodontists focus on the structures that hold teeth in place, and Dr. Eric Chu offers a practice centered on dental implants and gum health. The office sits just off South Drive, where Mountain View’s quiet streets give way to low-slung medical plazas—easy to miss if you’re not looking for the sign above suite five.

At 505 South Dr #5, the routine shifts from general dentistry to procedures that rebuild confidence beneath the gumline. Bone grafts, crown lengthening, and implant placement require precision, and the tools of the trade here are calibrated for that exacting work. Patients who need more than a cleaning or filling often find themselves in this kind of chair, where the conversation turns to titanium posts and healing timelines rather than cavities.

Questions about recovery or scheduling can be answered by calling (650) 964-7866. For directions, the map pinpoints the exact spot where South Drive meets the parking lot: here’s the link. Most people who walk in have already decided they’re done with temporary fixes.
