Dr. David King, DDS, Restorative Dentist in St. Louis

Throughout his years as a restorative dentist, Dr. Jeong has always been a fan of full mouth restorations. In terms of dentistry, he feels these procedures have the greatest impact on patient lives. 

‍

His love for what full mouth dental implants can do for patients is what eventually drew him to Nuvia Dental Implant Center in St. Louis where he can be part of giving patients their permanent teeth in 24 hours.

‍

His time at University of Iowa’s College of dentistry and working in the field afterwards gave him experience with traditional methods doing dental implants. He saw how inconvenient it can be for patients to return for various appointments over the course of months while they wait for their permanent teeth.

‍

Dr. Jeong loves that he is able to give patients a totally different experience at Nuvia.

Outside of the Office

When Dr. Jeong isn’t at the office he enjoys jogging, cooking, and photography.

Dr. David King is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in St. Louis, MO. He graduated from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Dentistry in 2006 and has worked in dentistry for over 20 years. His background includes private practice, group practices, and leadership roles across the country.

‍

He handles full-mouth implant restorations. Before surgery, he reviews each case and plans how the final teeth will look and function. He has worked with many materials over the years and now uses a zirconia-based system at Nuvia that holds up better and needs fewer adjustments after delivery.

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr. King chose Nuvia because the process is built around one patient at a time. He likes the structure of the multiple provider system and how each step is planned before treatment starts.

‍

He also values the permanent teeth in 24 hours approach. With traditional methods used by other providers, patients often needed six or more visits after surgery to finish treatment. Here, patients leave the next day with a fixed set of teeth.

‍

If you’re nervous, he gets it. He’s been in the chair himself. He always takes time to explain what’s happening and expects questions. He’d rather you ask than guess. He also reminds patients that the new teeth come with responsibility. Daily care and follow-up matter if you want things to last.

‍

Outside of the Office

Dr. King lives in the St. Louis area with his wife. They have five children and run a small flower farm together. He spends his free time working outside, growing flowers, and being with his family.

As a people person, Dr. Takacs decided early on that he wanted to work with patients and help take care of people. For him, dentistry was the natural choice.

‍

Dr. Takacs completed dental school near home in Michigan at the Michigan State School of Dentistry. After serving in the military, he ended up in Missouri where he, his wife, and their 6 children call home.

‍

Why Nuvia

With 28 years of dentistry under his belt, Dr. Takacs has joined the Nuvia team at the St. Louis location. 

‍

He joined Nuvia because of the unique and streamlined process. Dr. Takacs is no stranger to complex restorative cases like dental implants so when he saw what Nuvia has been able to achieve in helping patients, he knew he had to be part of it.

‍

Outside of the Office

With 6 children, Dr. Takacs spends his free time doing whatever his kids are doing. More than anything else he loves spending time with his family.
