Pausing to share some wonderful reviews we’ve received lately. Even in the face of these, we know we aren’t perfect and keep striving for that great experience for every single one of our patients! We are glad that we hit the mark many times and are thrilled to receive the kind, generous, glowing feedback. We do work hard, care, and have been at it long enough that we know dentistry can be a challenging field to deliver amazing results every single time. We still hold ourselves to a high standard and strive to take our time and make it worthwhile. Dr. Grace has had 23 years experience and going strong. Thank you for placing your trust in us!

This week we had 2 patients arrive teary and anxious, on 2 separate days. One confessed she had awoken from a bad dream that morning. In her nightmare, she said she came in and had treatment by a different dentist. Dr. Grace was able to reassure her (“don’t worry, it’s me!”) and by the end, our patient said, “Oh that’s it? I’m all done? That wasn’t bad at all.” We told her she was welcome to hang out with us longer, so we could do more? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 (j/k 😉).

Every so often, there is too much infection, dental neglect and years that have caught up with a patient.

This patient has a high pain tolerance and had been living with a dentally poor situation for a very long time with more than 80% bone loss in some areas.

Great guy and grandfather with a story: “Well, my [toddler] grandson ran into me and knocked my tooth sideways. Can you put it back in place?” Good-humored — and did we mention he’s such a nice, patient guy? We saw the twinkle in his eye, and responded likewise, “Do you think you can get your grandson to run into you the other way? Maybe it will go back?!” 😉

When there is such advanced, severe infection and bone loss, teeth may not be restorable. We had to shift gears and think different. In this case it was a journey to remove the infected teeth and restore with 4 implants on the top jaw and 2 on the bottom jaw. This allowed sufficient anchorage so that new teeth known as an overdentures could be designed. They come out for easy cleaning, but snap on for very secure fit. Chewing and function improve.

Congratulations on your new smile!

A week ago, Dr. Grace got to travel to Chicago for “The BISCO Experience” at their headquarters. It was a privilege and a pleasure to be invited as a KOL for a glimpse behind the scenes. Words like covalent bond, phosphate groups, monomer, smear layer, hydrophilic/hydrophobic were thrown around freely and hearkened back to dental school.

The research, due diligence, product design and testing required to develop dental materials is not for the faint of heart. Nearly 9-year journey to the making of their tooth-colored filling material, Quantium.

Appreciated hearing the story and rationale which led to development of their flagship adhesive, All-bond. Dr. Grace was already a fan of using it with composite restorations and adhesive-cement retained crowns. Now, knowing nuts-and-bolts of the science, even more 👏🙌💗

Highlight of the 2 days included meeting founder, emeritis and namesake of the company, 88 year old, Byoung In Suh, Ph.D. (He still goes to work every day and was very kind answering extra questions Dr. Grace had at lunch☺️.) He came to America from S. Korea with an open mind, dream to study chemistry and $50. Started his company in his early 40’s. In a corporate world where quantity and the bottom line prevail, his tenacious work ethic, grit, innovative science and commitment to quality is remarkable. Big presence for a small, family-rooted company.

Thanks

She also got to meet up with colleagues attending the MDIB speaker workshop in town. It’s a small world!

After 23 years in dentistry, there is still love and passion to do clinical dentistry better, learn and grow, see what doors open and are around the corner.

Refreshed: some new patient protective eyewear arrived at the office, our team had a little fun modeling them this morning after our morning “huddle” time when we prepare for our day. 🤣 We have your color, including the ever popular ones that have been dubbed, “the Elton John” (not pictured😉). Of course we disinfect and wipe them to keep them clean and available for every patient.

Most importantly, we celebrated Niki, our dental assistant’s 1 year work-iversary today. Thanks for all the hard work you do! Did you know? She has extra certification for extended function abilities to help out clinically. Fun fact: She also worked with Dr. Grace at a previous office for nearly 10 years. She loves to read, visit national parks and is sure to make time for Disneyland 💗and Din Tai Fung. We are glad to have you on our team!

Another weekend, another dental conference! Back in February, Dr. Grace won free attendance to summer IOX: The Digital Dentistry Experience as the prize for 1st place in a hands-on competition for best front tooth crown glaze and esthetics. 🙌

Great time reuniting with colleagues again , meeting new friends, hearing share his dental wisdom and comedy, as well as firecracker speak on communication and patient-centered treatment! Loved seeing the future that is here/coming in 3D printing and the exciting myriad potential applications in dentistry. Always a good time thinking, learning and bringing back practical actionable pearls to provide the best in patient care, as well as plan for the future.

So many epic moments to share, hard to choose. This was a long-anticipated milestone birthday trip with a close friend who has been gold — friendship for >30 years!

Grateful for an extended time to pause, adventure, soak in new sights and places. At times stunning and jaw dropping (those views, that alpine drinkable fountain water in Switzerland)! And amazing to visit history in art and sculpture and buildings of Florence, Italy and the serenity of medieval Tuscan towns.

We might have experienced gelato 10 times (sometimes twice in 1 day 😆) and wish there was more time (and stomach) to experience still more good eats. Fresh pasta (pici, pappardelle), saffron flavors, coffee — and most of all getting a chance to do this together when the responsibilities and full life, of work and family life, are usually calling. A good friend is one who you can be silent or chatty with, don’t have to say anything but you can😉, accepts, listens and shares life, growth, and can still be silly together. Living this life well, and thinking about how the next decades will be shaped is crucial for longevity. Special to enjoy memories and more ahead, wherever we are and whatever we’re doing. May there always be light in all that we do in this world for ourselves and in service to others. Connecting, exploring and looking forward as a life and work practice.

It was interesting to see dental offices right in the midst of these beautiful places, and spotted things like balsamic flavored toothpaste in a store. 😂 Visited my cousin in Bologna and her sweet family for first time. Had to gift her dental swag, Opalescence Go bleach trays. Yes, dentist here. 🙋🏻‍♀️☺️

Thanks to my family and team at Sweet Tooth who held down the fort for this dream to come true!

Thank you to the men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to our country. We are thankful for our freedoms, indebted to you and remember …especially, this Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Throwback to when the kids were younger and got to plant flags to commemorate those who gave their lives for our country.

The annual California Dental Association meeting in Anaheim was a fun opportunity to visit vendors, see what new products are out, sample, listen and learn about more advances in dentistry. Our office manager, Sarah, and front team coordinator, Liliana got to go today with Dr. Grace.

It was exciting to see favorites: and get to meet Dr. Jen herself , founder of Superpaste and nHap-coated silk floss! Also got to demo and sample oral health probiotics 🍏 . There’s so much innovation in dentistry and it’s an exciting time! Also enjoyed talking with

Happy Good Friday and Easter weekend!

Hard to believe that just a week ago, Dr. Grace found herself in Hong Kong for 6 days for a memorable visit during during spring break. Her 85-year-old dad booked last minute tickets on a whim and announced it was "probably the last time" visiting a place he'd spent many formative years. Emotional and sentimental trip to walk down memory lane with him.

Highlights included seeing his feisty, pop tune singing, 93 year old sister who remembered him and asked why we spoke English (she mustered a few English words herself), his parent's gravesite on Hong Kong Island, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Also, the dock where he embarked on a 3 week ship to the US a lifetime ago as a bright-eyed 20-something with a glint in his eye for the American dream! Connected and reunited with cousins and old friends. Traveled by ✈️🚏🚐🚎⛴️, including double decker buses on narrow mountain and city roads.

Walked, hiked , , shopped

Ate almost as much as walked: Cantonese delicacies, Hong Kong cafe food,


Special to also do an early celebration of Mom turning 80 this year - she doesn't want anyone to know (sorry, not sorry😉! Afternoon tea

Thanks to the amazing team back home for keeping the practice running. Thanks to and and Apical Endodontics for covering practice emergencies.
