We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Paul Yang into our family.

Dr. Paul’s integrity, combined with his empathy and respect for patients, make him ideal for this practice.

It’s wonderful to also be able to share that Dr. Paul is equally well-versed and talented in all aspects of patient treatments including oral surgery, implant surgery with restorations, and endodontic therapy. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Paul to our care team. All of us on our newly expanded team look forward to providing you with the best oral care possible.

October 24, 2019 marked a milestone anniversary for our office: Sylvia Gomez has been an integral part of this practice for 25 years!  Sylvia began as dental assistant and for the last 8 years she has been our receptionist, handling all the administrative facets of the practice.

In addition to her considerable administrative responsibilities, Sylvia’s kind, caring personality has comforted patients and brought a genuine human touch to our practice. She takes a personal interest in our patients’ care and many patients in return care about her. It is this friendship with our patients that has made our practice a special place to come for care. We have been so fortunate to have Sylvia as a team member—thank you Sylvia for all that you do.

A note from Sylvia:

These 25 years have marked a lot of activity in my life: my 4 kids have advanced from grammar school, to middle school, through high school and college. There are now 3 marriages in the family and 2 wonderful grand kids.

Working in this office has helped me to learn so much more than dentistry. The friendships that have developed through the years are so valuable to me. I love my boss, my co-workers, and everyone who has let me be a part of their lives in taking care of the health of their mouths. You have enriched my life in so many ways. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

The past couple of decades have seen tremendous advancements in the technology, knowledge, and acceptance of osseointegrated dental implants as a preferred method of replacing missing or destroyed human tooth or a number of teeth. This global phenomenon have helped restore beautiful natural smile and full function to many who were previously unable to enjoy this fascinating modality of modern dental reconstructive procedures.

Starting in the Fall of 2019 West Coast Dental Implant Study Club™ has become an affiliate member of the Seattle Study Club.  Together, we become a group of dental clinicians, both generalists and clinical specialists, dental hygienists, and laboratory technicians, who share amongst many things, the common desire to study, understand, and provide art of delivering optimal clinical care in this field of fast and ever changing dental implantology. The study club was formed in 2011, and is open to all dental professionals with strong interests in the study of dental implants and its practical applications. 

The study club is led by Dr. Jin Y. Kim, a practicing board-certified periodontist, and clinical faculty member at UCLA School of Dentistry. The study club has a number of clinical advisors – usually experts in various aspects of clinical dentistry – who collectively oversee the educational programs, and assist in complex interdisciplinary case diagnosis and planning for participants at each of the study club meetings. Meetings will be held monthly September through May.
