Steve
Since earning his degree in Dental Science from Shin Heung University in South Korea, Steve has been restoring smiles and crafting exceptional dental restorations since the late 1980s. With decades of experience at the bench, he combines time-honored craftsmanship with a commitment to staying at the forefront of dental technology.
While his years in the industry speak for themselves, Steve is anything but old-school in his approach. Highly proficient in CAD/CAM technology, he designs the majority of his restorations using Exocad, blending artistry, precision, and digital innovation to achieve outstanding results for clinicians and patients alike.
Outside the laboratory, Steve enjoys spending his free time on the golf course or tending to his garden alongside his wife of 42 years. Whether cultivating healthy plants or healthy smiles, he brings the same patience, dedication, and attention to detail to everything he does.

David
As the eldest son of a dental lab owner, David was essentially raised in a dental laboratory. While most kids were playing with toys, he was fascinated by model materials and making impressions of his own teeth—long before he knew it would become a career.
After earning his Biology degree from California State University, Long Beach and briefly exploring a path in education, David realized his true calling was helping grow the family business. He partnered with his father with a shared vision: combine decades of craftsmanship with modern innovation and take the laboratory to the next level.
When he's not in the lab, David can usually be found chasing after his two sons, Samuel and J.J., or enjoying quality time with his wife of 11 years. Building crowns may require precision, but keeping up with two young boys is the real challenge.
Lead Tech
Isaac
As the youngest son of a dental lab owner, Isaac watched the dental industry evolve rapidly and was inspired by the growth of the family business. After proudly serving his country in the United States Navy for eight years, he transitioned his dedication and discipline into the dental field by enrolling in the Dental Technology Program at Pasadena City College. He is currently pursuing the prestigious designation of Master Dental Technician (MDT), reflecting his commitment to excellence and continuous professional development.
Since joining the laboratory, Isaac has become an integral member of the team, specializing in implant and crown design. His attention to detail, technical expertise, and passion for digital dentistry contribute significantly to the quality and precision of the laboratory's restorations.
Outside of work, Isaac enjoys spending time with friends and making memories with his family, especially his brothers. Whether collaborating in the lab or enjoying time together outside of it, he values the strong relationships that have helped shape both his personal and professional journey.
