Dental Implants & Full-Arch Solutions in Des Moines & Lynnwood, WA

Missing teeth affect everything—how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself.

At Blooming Dental, we specialize in dental implants that restore not just teeth, but quality of life.

All-on-4 dental implants. Same day dental implants. Even Bicon short implants for patients with limited bone.

Our fully digital planning ensures accuracy at every step. Computer-guided placement means less surgery time, precise positioning, and often immediate function.

Whether you need a single tooth replaced or complete full-arch restoration, you’re getting implant solutions for limited bone and complex cases backed by international experience that other practices can’t provide.

Replace an entire arch of missing teeth with just four to six strategically placed fixtures.

Benefits of All-on-4 and All-on-6 restorations:

  • Stability without slipping or movement
  • No adhesives or daily removal required
  • Immediate function in many cases
  • Eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence
  • Many patients receive temporary teeth the same day

Fixed. Stable. Natural-looking.

Why wait months for teeth when you might not have to?

Our same-day implant solutions use advanced digital planning and computer-guided surgery to place fixtures with exceptional accuracy—often allowing for immediate temporary restoration.

Advantages:

  • Less time in the dental chair
  • Fewer total appointments
  • No gaps in your smile while healing
  • Immediate temporary teeth for qualified candidates

Speed meets precision.

Been told you need extensive bone grafting? There may be another way.

Bicon short implants are specifically engineered for patients with insufficient bone height—often eliminating the need for complex grafting procedures or sinus lifts.

Why Bicon short implants matter:

  • Less invasive than traditional implants with grafting
  • Faster healing and recovery
  • Often eliminates the need for sinus lifts
  • Opens doors for patients told they “can’t have implants”

Dr. Yoon’s proficiency with implants for limited bone means he can evaluate your unique situation and determine the best path forward.

Invisalign Elite Provider – Faster Clear Aligner Treatment in Des Moines & Lynnwood, WA

Dr. Yoon holds Invisalign Elite Provider status—a distinction reserved for doctors who consistently deliver exceptional outcomes and treat a high volume of successful cases.

Fast Invisalign results, often under 6 months. Comprehensive treatment planning. Functional, beautiful outcomes.

Invisalign under 6 months isn’t just possible—it’s what we do regularly.

Fewer office visits. More predictable outcomes. Clear aligner orthodontics designed around your adult lifestyle.

Adults choose Invisalign at Blooming Dental for good reason.

Discreet clear aligners that won’t disrupt your professional or social life. Removable for eating, special occasions, and oral hygiene. Predictable outcomes you can see digitally before starting.

Then we create a detailed simulation showing your exact progression and finished appearance.

See where you’re going before starting. Adjust expectations. Proceed with confidence.

Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Makeovers

When you need more than just straight, healthy teeth—when you want a truly beautiful appearance—prosthodontic specialty training makes all the difference.

Dr. Yoon is an aesthetic restoration specialist trained at Columbia University. His prosthodontic expertise means he understands the art and science of creating beautiful, natural-looking smiles that function properly and last for decades.

Every smile makeover prosthodontist consultation begins with your goals, facial features, and personality—because your new look should feel like it’s always been yours.

Transform your appearance with custom porcelain veneers designed to match your facial structure, skin tone, and natural tooth characteristics.

Dr. Yoon specializes in minimal-prep veneer techniques that preserve maximum natural tooth structure while still delivering dramatic cosmetic improvements.

Each veneer is handcrafted to correct chips, stains, gaps, or misalignment—creating a cohesive look that photographs beautifully and ages naturally.

Artistry meets precision.

Have a chipped tooth, small gap, or minor cosmetic concern? Composite bonding offers an affordable, immediate solution.

Using tooth-colored resin, Dr. Yoon can reshape, repair, and enhance in a single visit—often in under an hour.

Natural-looking finish. Same-day completion. Budget-friendly.

Perfect for patients who want cosmetic improvement without extensive procedures or major financial commitment.

Professional teeth whitening delivers outcomes that over-the-counter products simply can’t match.

Two professional whitening systems:

Zoom In-Office Whitening

  • Dramatic lightening in about 60 minutes
  • Perfect for upcoming events or immediate gratification
  • Multiple shades lighter in a single visit

Opalescence Take-Home Whitening

  • Custom trays and professional-strength gel

Sleep Apnea Treatment Without CPAP

If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea but can’t tolerate CPAP therapy, or if chronic snoring is affecting your quality of life, oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable CPAP alternative.

Our custom sleep apnea oral appliances work by gently repositioning your lower jaw during sleep—keeping your airway open and reducing or eliminating apnea episodes.

Prosomnus sleep devices. Medical insurance processing. Coordination with sleep physicians.

We can arrange home sleep studies, work with your doctor, and handle all medical billing through our specialized third-party service.

A snoring reduction appliance that actually works—and that you’ll actually wear.

The concept is elegantly simple: by positioning your jaw slightly forward, oral appliances prevent your tongue and soft tissues from collapsing backward and blocking your airway.

Benefits of oral appliances:

  • Better airflow during sleep
  • Reduced snoring and apnea episodes
  • More restful sleep for you and your partner
  • Quiet – no machine noise
  • Portable – easy to travel with
  • Comfortable – no mask or hoses

Unlike CPAP machines, compliance rates with oral appliances are significantly higher—which means better health outcomes.

Sleep better. Feel better. Live better.

Advanced Technology for Precision, Comfort & Predictable Results

Technology should improve your experience—not complicate it.

Every piece of technology at Blooming Dental is chosen for a specific reason: your comfort, our precision, and your predictable outcomes.

Our advanced technology includes:

  • Digital impressions – No gagging from goopy trays
  • 3D CBCT imaging – Millimeter-accurate implant planning
  • Computer-guided implant surgery – Precision and safety
  • Digital Smile Design – See your results before treatment
  • Laser dentistry – Less pain, faster healing
  • PRF Therapy – Enhanced natural healing
  • Same-day Crowns – Completed in one visit

No technology for technology’s sake. Only tools that genuinely improve outcomes.

Visual planning eliminates uncertainty and anxiety about cosmetic procedures.

With digital smile design, we create a detailed preview using photographs, scans, and specialized software.

How it works:

  • We photograph and scan your current smile
  • Create a digital simulation of your finished results
  • You review and provide feedback
  • Make any adjustments before treatment begins
  • Proceed with complete confidence

No surprises. Only outcomes you’ve already seen and approved.

Precision matters when placing fixtures near nerves, sinuses, and vital structures.

Our 3D CBCT imaging provides a complete three-dimensional map of your jaw anatomy—bone density, nerve locations, sinus positions, and optimal sites.

Computer-guided implant surgery then executes the plan with exceptional accuracy—ensuring proper positioning, angle, and depth.

Benefits for you:

  • Safer procedures
  • Faster surgery time
  • More predictable outcomes
  • Reduced post-operative discomfort
  • Optimal implant positioning for long-term success

This is what state-of-the-art dentistry looks like.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy harnesses your body’s own healing power to speed recovery after dental surgery.

We draw a small sample of your blood, process it to concentrate healing platelets and growth factors, then apply this PRF therapy dental treatment directly to surgical sites.

The benefits:

  • Reduced swelling and discomfort
  • Faster healing time
  • Improved bone regeneration around implants
  • Completely natural – uses your own blood
  • No synthetic materials or medications

Better recovery experience through natural healing.

Patient Comfort Comes First

Dental anxiety is real, and we take it seriously.

Every aspect of our practice is designed around your comfort—from the welcoming environment to the gentle techniques to the technology that makes care easier.

How we prioritize your comfort:

  • Nitrous oxide sedation – Available for anxious patients
  • Digital scanning – No gagging from traditional impressions
  • Laser dentistry – Less pain, reduced discomfort, faster healing
  • Same-day crowns – Minimize appointments, no temporaries
  • Headphones welcome – Bring your favorite music to relax
