Dr. Ivan Yi, DDS
Dr. Ivan Yi brings a background in mechanical engineering to the precision work of periodontal surgery.

Education & Training
Philosophy of Care
Dr. Yi's engineering background shows up in how he plans treatment, methodically, with an emphasis on using the latest techniques and technology to deliver the most effective, minimally invasive care possible. His residency at a VA medical center, working alongside patients managing complex medical conditions, taught him to build personalized treatment plans that account for each patient's full health picture, not just the tooth or teeth in question.
Outside the office, Dr. Yi is an avid outdoors enthusiast who stays active with running, hiking, camping, backpacking, and skiing. He brings that same discipline and attention to conditioning into his surgical work, where steady hands and careful planning make the difference in complex implant and grafting cases.
