Dental Implants in Des Moines & Lynnwood, WA

Prosthodontists complete three years of specialty training in implant planning, reconstruction, and bite rehabilitation—the highest level of implant education available. They’re experts in complex cases and full-mouth reconstruction.

Dr. Yoon’s 30+ years of experience and 5,000+ implants placed mean he’s handled cases most general dentists refer out. Prosthodontist implant specialists understand not just placement but how implants function within your entire bite.

Guided implant surgery uses digital planning and a surgical guide to place implants exactly where they’re planned on the computer. This improves accuracy, reduces risk, and creates predictable outcomes.

At Blooming Dental, Dr. Yoon uses CBCT scans and digital planning software to design implant position, then fabricates a guide that ensures precise placement during surgery.

Not always. Many patients have adequate bone for traditional implants. Some need minor grafting. Others benefit from Bicon short implants, which often succeed without grafting.

Dr. Yoon evaluates your bone condition with CBCT imaging and recommends the least invasive approach that provides long-term success.

Bicon short implants are wider, shorter implants designed to succeed in limited bone without extensive grafting. They’re less invasive and heal faster than traditional implants combined with grafting.

Many patients choose Bicon short implants to avoid complex bone grafting procedures while still achieving stable, long-lasting implant support.

Traditional full-arch replacement uses 6-8 implants per arch. All-on-4 uses just four strategically angled implants to support an entire arch of teeth—fewer implants, less surgery, often same-day restoration.

Both approaches provide fixed, permanent teeth. All-on-4 is faster and less invasive; traditional methods may be better for certain bone conditions.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is derived from your own blood, concentrated, and placed at surgical sites to accelerate healing. It speeds bone and tissue regeneration, reduces pain and swelling, and improves outcomes.

Dr. Yoon uses PRF routinely for implants, grafting, and extractions. Patients consistently report easier, faster recoveries when PRF is used.

No. Same-day implants require good bone density, healthy gums, and favorable anatomy. Dr. Yoon evaluates each case individually to determine if immediate load is appropriate.

When conditions are right, same-day implants allow you to leave with functional teeth the same day. When they’re not, traditional healing protocols provide better long-term success.

During surgery, you’re numb, so you won’t feel pain. After the anesthesia wears off, most patients experience mild soreness manageable with over-the-counter medication.

PRF therapy significantly reduces postoperative discomfort. Dr. Yoon’s gentle technique and precise planning minimize trauma and speed recovery. Most patients are surprised by how easy the process is.

Implant costs vary based on how many implants you need, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of restoration. Single implants typically range from $3,000-$6,000. Full-arch solutions range from $20,000-$40,000.

Some dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implants, though coverage varies widely. Medical insurance may cover implants if tooth loss resulted from accident or medical condition.

We file insurance claims and provide documentation to maximize your benefits. Even with partial coverage, financing options make implants accessible.
