Dentist in Des Moines, WA for Implants & Complex Restorative Care

Our Des Moines office is open Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm and Thursday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. We are closed Wednesday, Friday and at weekends — our Lynnwood office runs on Wednesdays with the same team.

Yes, we are accepting new adult patients at our Des Moines office. Call (253) 201-2519 to book. Your first visit is a consultation rather than a treatment appointment: an examination, any 3D imaging your case needs, then a written treatment plan and estimate.

No. Blooming Dental focuses exclusively on adult dentistry — complex restorative cases, dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, cosmetic work, Invisalign and TMJ care.

Prosthodontists complete three additional years of specialty training after dental school, focused entirely on replacing and restoring teeth. General dentists refer their most complex cases to prosthodontists. Dr. Yoon holds dual specialty training in orthodontics and prosthodontics and has placed more than 5,000 implants over 30+ years.

It depends on bone volume, whether grafting or a sinus lift is needed, how many teeth are being replaced, whether the restoration is a single crown or a full arch, and which materials are used. We give you a written estimate after an examination and CBCT 3D imaging, and discuss financing through CareCredit, Cherry, LendingClub or HFD before you decide.

Conventional dentures, implant-retained snap-on dentures and fixed full-arch implant bridges sit at very different price points, and the right one depends on how much bone you have and how much stability you want. We price each realistic option in writing so you can compare them properly.

Dentures are removable, cost less up front and can be made quickly, but they rest on the gums and the bone underneath continues to shrink, which is why they need relining and eventually stop fitting. Implants are placed in the bone, which preserves it, and bite like natural teeth. Between the two sits a snap-on denture retained by a small number of implants — most of the stability, a fraction of the cost of a fixed full arch.

Many plans now offer partial coverage, usually treating the implant restoration like a crown or bridge and applying the annual maximum. Coverage is rarely complete, and full-arch treatment normally exceeds a single year’s benefit. Where it helps, we can stage treatment across two benefit years to use two annual maximums.

A bridge uses the teeth on either side of a gap as supports, which means preparing two healthy teeth. An implant stands on its own and preserves the bone where the tooth was. If the neighbouring teeth are healthy, an implant is usually the better long-term answer; if they already need crowns, a bridge can solve two problems at once. CBCT imaging at your consultation shows whether there is enough bone for an implant.

Yes. We design and mill crowns in our office, with many cases completed in a single visit. For implants, same-day placement with an immediate temporary restoration is possible when bone density and stability allow — CBCT imaging tells us whether you are a candidate.

As an Invisalign Elite Provider, Dr. Yoon uses protocols that shorten treatment compared with typical timelines. Simple cases can finish in a few months; comprehensive cases take longer. You get an estimated timeline from your digital scan before you start.

Yes. We provide oral appliance therapy using Prosomnus devices — custom-fitted appliances that treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring by holding the airway open during sleep.

No. We do not perform wisdom tooth extractions and refer those cases to an oral surgeon. Dr. Yoon is a prosthodontist, not an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. We do perform other extractions where they form part of a restorative or implant plan.

We treat under local anaesthetic with nitrous oxide for patients who want help relaxing. We do not offer IV sedation or general anaesthesia.

Yes. We work with CareCredit, Cherry, LendingClub and HFD, covering short interest-free plans and longer monthly terms. Approval is usually decided while you are in the office.
