About Byung Sun Yoo, DDS
Byung Sun Yoo, DDS provides dental care on Camino del Rio South in the Mission Valley area of San Diego, California. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.
Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.
Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.
Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.
Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.

Wow ! I am so happy i found my dentist Dr. Rocha, he was exceptional. The office staff ,(shannon and dr rochas assistant to the hygienist to the othes dentists) were all wonderful, nothing like ive ever experienced before. Ive had cold and mean dentists (staff included) in the past and was literally expecting the worst when i walked in. I had to take my kid-last minute and i called beforehand to make sure it was okay and they definitely were accommodating which i appreciate a lot especially dealing with a chronic illness. Kindness and compassion is rare to find in healthcare now a day and im glad you can still find it here. God bless
I’ve travelled from the east coast, through the Midwest to the west coast settling. I have had several dentists along the travels. I can say Dr. Yoo is a professional. He uses laser technology to combat cavities and color matches fillings like no other dentist I have seen. He’s careful, concise, intelligent and detailed. This guys got his skills in the right wheelhouse. Highly recommended. A++
Dr Yoo, and his team are the BEST!! The staff and doctor are amazing.
Horrible experience. Definitely not recommended for chronically ill patients or those with a sensitive nervous system. I personally do not have dental anxiety, but this dentist not only did not respect needs that were communicated well in advance, but also pressured me on items also communicated ahead of time. He also speaks very loudly only a few feet from your face. I wound up in tears during my appointment! It was awful. I found another holistic dentist that charges a lower rate to-boot, and there was no self-advocacy required. He was professional and calm by nature without pressuring me into things I already stated I cannot and will not do. Since the consultation with Dr Yoo was a disaster and I needed to seek a new doctor, I requested a refund of the $143 consult fee. I was newly out of work and experiencing health issues, and this would have been very helpful (and I believe appropriate) under the circumstances. My request was emphatically denied.
Dr. Yoo, Shannon and the entire staff are the best! I was in need of a biological dentist for various reasons and was looking for someone who uses safer, biocompatible materials. I have chemical sensitivities and have had reactions to the toxic chemicals used at the dentist in the past. Not only is Dr. Yoo an expert at his craft, but the materials he uses have no odor and I have had not any reactions during crown replacement and other procedures. Dr. Yoo is very kind and understanding and I don't feel like I'm "overreacting" or "nuts" when I ask him questions regarding holistic dentistry. I can tell he's a perfectionist and feel I can trust him completely to give the best possible care. Shannon is amazing! She has years of experience in the dental field and can answer most questions you have. She's outgoing, kind and funny and a wizard at booking, changing appointments and making you feel at home in the office. The dental hygienists and assistants are all very nice too!
Dr. Yoo and his warm team are top notch. I was on the search for a holistic dentist who viewed myself and my family as whole beings and not just another mouth filled with teeth. Dr. Yoo helped to ease my anxiety over dental work. He is kind and compassionate while being an artist in the dental field. The office is great with kids, too, which is an added bonus. We are so grateful we found this dental office.
I've been to many dentists, most being mediocre to cold and abrasive. Dr. Yoo and his staff have been my choice for dentistry for about a decade now. When he is working, he is very good at communication and also is consistent in asking how am I doing, do I need anything during procedures to make sure I am comfortable. I finally have my teeth and gums under control and can thank Dr. Yoo and his team for it. I'll be recommending Dr. Yoo to everyone. Great dental office, clean and the staff there is wonderful!
