Thomas Yoon Dental

I chose Dr. Yoon because I liked that he is meticulous and ethical in his dental work and his office has the most modern dental technology. I had a very complicated case and needed my old mercury amalgam fillings removed as well as a bad crown. Dr. Yoon follows the safest mercury removal protocol (many dentist do not) and so I avoided breathing in the poisonous mercury vapors during the removal process. I get compliments all the time on my smile now thanks to Dr. Yoon. He also has low-​radiation digital dental X-​rays. After years of other unethical dentists and poor dental work, I have finally found my dentist.

I saw Dr. Yoon today, my first dental appointment in over two years and I was very nervous. I got to the office early and was greeted by pleasant staff. The office was pretty– modern and neat with a TV on silent in the corner to help pass the time. I was taken back to my appointment on time.
The first part of the appointment was x-​rays which was nothing to write home about, then a brief discussion about my medical history and general dental history and concerns. Dr. Yoon did my first cleaning and explained that he likes to see for himself what kind of dental hygiene his patients come in with because it influences his treatment plan. I was worried about a crown and the need for fillings and Dr. Yoon looked at my problem areas and even showed me what he saw using a small camera that hooked up to a TV I could easily see.
I would agree with the other reviews of Dr. Yoon saying he is a ‘conservative’ dentist, not rushing to treatment and considering my dental history I was relieved. He addressed my concerns professionally but used more of a ‘big picture’ approach to make decisions about treatment. I asked about invisalign at the end of the visit when I realized I wasn’t being signed up for tons of (unnecessary) treatment and he gave me some great referrals.
Overall the staff was nice, the doctor was nice, the office was neat, and most importantly all aspects of my care felt non-​threatening. I have my next appointment set and I set up an appointment for my husband while I was there too. Thank you!

I had a great experience as a new patient today. Every one was very friendly and the dentist was even on time! Dr. Yoon was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even did the procedure I needed the same day after my routine cleaning.

Whew it’s not as bad as a thought… I still have my teeth and after all the work that is need. I will still maintain my teeth… lol from the moment I walked in to the time a left, everyone one the staff big smiles and pleasant attitudes. The assistant was nice and walked me thru each step of the exam. When the de came in he was very informative about keeping my teeth Healthy. He was fun and I learned a lot. Great office. I would give it a 5 but they had a puppy on the monitor facing me… I wanted to see some sports… lol

Dr. Yoon is a spectacular dentist, with what I would describe as a ‘conservative’ approach to dentistry. He does not recommend invasive or unnecessary procedures (as I have heard is the case with many dentists). He is personable, thorough, and informative; he quickly eased my fears stemming from a 3 year lapse in dental visits. The cleaning was comprehensive and painless, as well as educational. A few further perks: he did the cleaning himself + a friendly receptionist and no wait time for my appointment.

New insurance means a new search for a dentist, and at the time (6mo ago) there were not many reviews of this practice so I gave it a try, and I’m glad I did. I went for a routine checkup and cleaning, despite 1+ years since my last check.
From the outside, the building is a typical office park (the kind you drive by and don’t notice), but the inside is clean and modern. Everyone I met or spoke to on the staff was professional and very nice. Dr. Yoon took the time for a full exam and nothing about the appointment felt rushed. I will definitely return, as long as they take my insurance :)

Dr. Yoon and his staff are professional and courteous. I’ve been going to him for about 2 years now and truly have no major complaints. I’ve gradually improved the status of my teeth and gums in the last two years with his advice and education on how to treat my teeth and gums. This last time I was there for a cleaning he said my teeth and gums would receive an A from him which is good news to me. His office is clean, his staff is professional and he is good dentist. I would definitely recommend him to others.

I recently moved to Fairfax and needed to find a new dentist. I picked dr. Yoon because of the reviews on here and was amazed at just how good he is. He was personable, friendly and very professional. He’s the only dentist I’ve been to who explained everything he was doing in terms I could understand. I would highly recommend him.

Best dentist I have ever had.
Dr. Yoon is a kind, caring, and patient man. He has a gentle hygienist staff and courteous receptionist. The office is clean, tidy, and has state-​of-​the-​art technology.
My only complaint is that they play gospel music in the lobby… but that’s somewhat irrelevant ^_^

Number one, I hate doctors.
Number two, I hate dentists.
Number three, I am afraid of sharp/​pointy objects coming in my way…
I have been going to Dr. Yoon for over two years now and I can’t say enough good things about this place. I love Dr. Yoon. I love his (new) dental hygienist, receptionist, and everyone else there.
And because he is so patient, quick to listen, and super kind in explaining everything out to me… please disregard my number one and two! And he makes my number three not a problem… he is super gentle with my teeth and his patients! Okay, enough about complimenting my dentist… just go and experience it for yourselves :)

Went to the office for a cleaning and a comprehensive exam. The receptionist and the dental hygenist were friendly and pleasant. I was quite satisfied with the whole experience… until Dr. Yoon came to do the examination. Dr. Yoon was «too busy» to spend more than 5 minutes with me and said that he could do a more comprehensive exam if I came back to get treatment on a problem tooth. I completely understand he was rushed for time (he had two other patients getting procedures done), but then I wish I would have been scheduled when he was less busy.
I asked the receptionist if I could get a more comprehensive treatment plan, since I’ve never had a dentist tell me they couldn’t provide me with a complete treatment plan because they didn’t have time. I had a bit of a hard time convincing her that this was a strange dental experience for me, and finally, when she asked me if Dr. Yoon had answered all of my questions, I had to say «no.» She called him back and he explained things a bit further, and ended up giving me a makeshift treatment plan. But he basically said he was «too busy» to talk to me, and that a comprehensive exam plus answering all my questions would take 20 minutes. Apparently, that was too long for him?! It almost seemed like he wanted me to come back in, pay more money, and have him look at my teeth again, even though the whole point of a comprehensive exam is to get everything looked at. What made even less sense was that he seemed to imply that my dental problems required too much time to review. The funny thing is: the last time I went to a dentist was 6 months ago, and I had all of the same problems I currently have. But that dentist was sure to provide me with a complete treatment plan during the comprehensive exam.
In addition, Dr. Yoon seemed to hint that he wouldn’t really try to perform the less invasive procedure (a filling), but would instead go straight for a more invasive procedure… even though that isn’t absolutely necessary at this point. I understand he didn’t want to get my hopes up that the tooth can be saved, since it is likely the filling won’t suffice. However, it worries me that he won’t even try to save the tooth, but does whatever is easier for him.
All in all, an unpleasant experience. After the great reviews on Unilocal,I even made him my primary dentist on insurance. Now, I may need to re-​evaluate my options. I may be in the market for a new dentist…

Great office, Dr. Thomas Yoon is very friendly and cares about his guest more as friends then paying guest. Very clean, easy to talk to! Rachel plays good music while waiting, the replacement plays Christian music so bring your head phones. Dr. Yoon even completes his own cleanings — that is hard to find around here!

Listens, is calm, practical and erudite. Also has a new office with grat hygiene.

I’m usually terrified of dentists, but Dr. Yoon is the best when it comes to pain control. I had a wisdom tooth taken out 15 min ago, and even the Novocain shots were painless. I’m such a wimp when it comes to dental procedures, I cried during my root canal with my previous dentist. But I have to say, this is the best dentist I have ever had.

Wow! I can’t believe we randomly stumbled on such a great dental office! My husband HATES the dentist and made a point to tell them after the appointment that this was the best experience he had ever had at a dental office. It’s a very small operation, just three people but very efficiently-​run. We didn’t wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and Dr. Yoon apologized for making us wait even that long stating that «he hated making an appt. and having to wait for it». He is very down-​to-​earth and funny. He will tell you what you need to improve on without shaming you about it, he even admitted that he didn’t start flossing until he was in his 30s. He does his own cleaning, which is crazy… I’ve never had the dentist themselves do more than a quick run-​by at the end of my appointment.
Also, I really like the music playing… it’s really mellow… I heard The Beatles «Here Comes the Sun» and that really pretty acoustic White Stripes song.
Super clean and bright with big windows too!
