About Byung Sun Yoo, DDS

Byung Sun Yoo, DDS, is a highly skilled and accomplished dentist who specializes in biocompatible dentistry. He provides exceptional care to his patients at his practice, conveniently located in San Diego, California.

Dr. Yoo earned his dental degree from the University of Colorado School of Dentistry in 1996. Immediately after graduating, he relocated to San Diego, and in 1999, he purchased Dr. David C. Kennedy dental practice in historic Bankers Hill. Transforming Dr. Kennedy’s practice into his own taught him the power of alternative dental care, such as working with a mercury-free environment and using microscopic evaluation for nonsurgical periodontal therapy.

In March of 2000, Dr. Yoo attended a seminar hosted by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, where he learned about the superiority of the “whole body” approach to dentistry over traditional dental philosophies. He subsequently incorporated an extensive array of specialties into his practice to better serve his patients, including orthodontics, sleep dentistry, and TMJ treatments.

Dr. Yoo stays current with the latest advancements in biological dentistry by attending seminars and continuing education courses. He’s a proud member of a number of professional organizations, including the Appliance Therapy Practitioners Association, Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the International Association of Orthodontics, and the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation.

Outside of work, Dr. Yoo is devoted to his family and his church. He attended a Billy Graham Crusade in 1987 that led him to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior. His faith and desire to serve the Lord is what guided him into his career in dentistry. He looks forward to working with patients both new and old and giving them beautiful and healthy smiles.

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++

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 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!
