‍

From a young age, frequent visits to the dentist and orthodontist greatly influenced Dr. Kwon’s early fascination with dental care and led to the beginning of his journey to become an oral surgeon. This interest led him to shadow his dentist, a pivotal experience that steered him towards dental assisting. It was during this time that he witnessed the transformative power of full mouth restorations, seeing firsthand the life-changing impact an oral surgeon’s work can have on patients.

‍

Pursuing his growing passion, Dr. Kwon attended Dental School at New York University. It was there that he discovered the possibility of specializing in oral and maxillofacial surgery—a field that resonated with his early experiences and aspirations. Through intensive training and schooling, Dr. Kwon found profound fulfillment in his ability to contribute to full mouth restorations as an oral surgeon, realizing his goal of making a significant difference in people's lives. He now works with the Nuvia team in Fullerton, California.

Outside of the Clinic

When he isn’t working as an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Kwon is an avid golfer and an enthusiast of the outdoors. Family plays a central role in his life; he cherishes time spent with his loved ones, especially his young daughter, who is the greatest joy of his life. Having grown up in South Korea before moving to Canada and then to the United States, Dr. Kwon has a rich appreciation for diverse cultures and cuisines. This multicultural background has instilled in him a love for Korean and Vietnamese foods, reflecting the heritage of both his and his wife's families.

Dr. Kwon’s professional path is marked by a commitment to excellence, compassion, and a genuine desire to improve the lives of his patients through his work as an oral surgeon in Fullerton.

She earned her dental degree from the UCSF School of Dentistry and completed a General Practice Residency at the VA Hospital in West Los Angeles.
