Advanced Dental Care for Des Moines and South King County

Blooming Dental is a prosthodontist-led dental practice focused on adult patients seeking specialist-level care for dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, and TMJ treatment.

Dr. Yoon’s dual specialty training in orthodontics and prosthodontics—combined with decades of experience—provides the expertise general dentists refer their complex cases to.

Our practice is located near Highline College and easily accessible from Normandy Park, Redondo, Woodmont, Zenith, and the surrounding South King County neighborhoods.

Dental Implants & Full-Arch Solutions Led by a Prosthodontist

Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts that integrate with your jawbone, functioning like natural tooth roots. Dr. Yoon has placed over 5,000 implants across 30+ years of practice, using advanced digital technology for precision and predictability.

Specialist-led implant dentistry includes:

  • Same-day implants with immediate temporary restoration when bone allows
  • All-on-4 and All-on-6 full-arch treatment for patients missing most or all teeth
  • Bicon short implants for patients with limited bone height
  • Computer-guided implant surgery using CBCT 3D imaging
  • PRF therapy for faster healing and reduced discomfort after placement

Prosthodontist planning considers your entire bite—not just individual tooth replacement—ensuring implants function properly with opposing teeth and surrounding structures.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 replace an entire arch of teeth using just four or six strategically positioned implants. This approach provides stability, renewed bite function, and a confident smile for patients with multiple missing teeth.

Fixed restoration that doesn’t come out like dentures—eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Same-day implants mean the implant and temporary restoration are placed in one appointment when bone density supports it. Digital planning through CBCT imaging and computer-guided placement create predictable outcomes with reduced downtime.

Fewer appointments, immediate function, and prosthodontist expertise ensure successful immediate-load cases.

Many patients are told they need extensive bone grafting before implants. Bicon short implants are designed wider and shorter to succeed in limited bone without major grafting procedures.

Less invasive surgery, faster recovery, excellent stability—ideal for patients with bone loss who want to avoid sinus lifts or ridge augmentation.

Invisalign Treatment – Elite Provider Serving Des Moines

As an Invisalign Elite Provider, Dr. Yoon uses proven accelerated protocols that reduce treatment time from the typical 11–18 months to under 6 months for most cases. Prosthodontist oversight ensures proper bite alignment, not just straight teeth.

Invisalign treatment advantages:

  • Nearly invisible clear aligners
  • Removable for eating and cleaning
  • Digital Invisalign planning shows preview before you start
  • Elite Provider protocols speed results
  • Suitable for adults and teens

Adult-focused care means treatment plans accommodate professional lifestyles without dietary restrictions or metal brackets.

We use iTero digital scanning—no goopy impression molds. The scanner captures precise 3D images of your teeth in minutes, creating better-fitting aligners and showing an immediate preview of expected results.

Comfortable, accurate, and you see what your smile will look like before committing to treatment.

Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Transformation

Prosthodontists are aesthetic restoration specialists—trained to design smiles that look natural and function properly for decades. Dr. Yoon uses Digital Smile Design to preview complex cosmetic cases before treatment begins.

Cosmetic services include:

  • Porcelain veneers (including minimal-prep veneers)
  • Composite bonding for chips, gaps, and reshaping
  • Professional whitening treatments (Zoom and Opalescence)
  • Smile makeovers combining multiple procedures
  • Custom shade matching for seamless results

Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to front teeth to correct shape, color, spacing, or minor alignment. Minimal-prep veneers preserve more natural tooth structure while delivering dramatic aesthetic improvement.

Composite bonding repairs chips, closes gaps, and reshapes teeth in a single visit—conservative, reversible, and natural-looking results.

Zoom in-office whitening: Dramatic results in about an hour—ideal for events or quick smile transformation.

Opalescence take-home whitening: Gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks using custom trays—gentler for sensitive teeth.

Both deliver professional-grade results far beyond drugstore whitening strips.

Sleep Apnea & TMD Therapy in Des Moines, WA

Custom oral appliances provide a CPAP alternative for sleep apnea and snoring. Oral appliance therapy repositions the jaw during sleep to keep airways open, reducing snoring and apnea events.

For TMD and bruxism, Dr. Yoon offers therapeutic Botox, custom nightguards, and bite alignment therapy to reduce jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear.

Prosomnus devices are precision-fitted oral appliances that treat snoring and sleep apnea without CPAP machines. Quieter than CPAP, easier to travel with, and more comfortable for many patients.

We coordinate with sleep physicians for proper diagnosis and work with medical billing for insurance coverage.

Teeth grinding (bruxism) causes tooth wear, jaw pain, and morning headaches. Custom nightguards protect teeth while therapeutic Botox relaxes overactive jaw muscles.

Dr. Yoon’s prosthodontic training in bite mechanics means TMD therapy addresses root causes—not just symptoms—through proper bite alignment and muscle relaxation.

Modern Technology for Greater Comfort & Precision

Advanced technology improves accuracy, reduces discomfort, and creates predictable outcomes for complex cases.

Technology we use:

  • iTero digital impressions – No goopy molds, instant 3D scans
  • Digital Smile Design – Preview your new smile before treatment
  • CBCT 3D imaging – Precise bone assessment and implant planning
  • Computer-guided implant surgery – Implants placed exactly as planned
  • Same-day crowns – Custom crowns designed and milled in-office
  • PRF therapy – Your own blood cells accelerate healing
  • Laser dentistry – AMD Diode laser for gentle soft tissue work
  • Nitrous oxide sedation – Relaxation for anxious patients

These tools serve one purpose: better results with greater comfort.
