Dr. Matthew Yuen, DDS
Dr. Matthew Yuen grew up in Alameda, CA. He has an older sister and two younger brothers and loves his niece and nephew. He played almost every sport and growing up wanted to become a professional baseball player.
Pro sports weren’t in the cards for Dr. Yuen, so he went to UC Davis and majored in Exercise Biology and minored in Technology Management through the UC Davis Graduate School of Management. He gained experience working in dental offices for a couple years before attending the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. Upon earning his D.D.S. degree, Dr. Yuen also completed a General Practice Residency at the McClellan VA serving veterans. Dr. Yuen has a passion for learning and education and has tutored microbiology, physiology, pre-clinical dental technique, and most of all helped teach the anatomy course at UC Davis and in dental school at the graduate level. In order to continue staying up to date on the best techniques and materials to providing the best possible patient care, he takes hundreds of hours of Continuing Education courses each year. He has been on several overseas dental missions trips and volunteers whenever he can in community service events. Dr. Yuen strives to provide gentle, comprehensive care for patients to make them comfortable in the dental office and to treat them like family.
Outside of work, Dr. Yuen can be found refining his barbecuing skills or spending time with his wife-they don’t have any children (yet) but are hoping to move in that direction. He loves all things Disney, is an avid reader, plays any sport when he has the chance (mainly tennis, grew up playing over at Palomares Hills!), and enjoys exploring the outdoors.

STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
You probably have more questions than answers at this point. Check out the answers to these commonly-asked questions for a little more reassurance.
1. Are dental implants painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. During treatment, the area is completely numbed, and many patients report less discomfort than they expected. After the procedure, mild soreness and swelling are normal and can typically be managed with medication and post-operative care instructions.
2. How long does the dental implant process take?
The timeline varies depending on your specific needs. Some patients can receive implants and temporary teeth in a single visit, while others may require several months for healing before their final restoration is placed. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment timeline.
3. Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Many adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. Factors such as overall health, gum health, and jawbone density play a role. Even if you've been told you don't qualify in the past, advancements in implant dentistry may provide options that weren't previously available.
4. How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last for many years and often decades. Because implants are designed to function like natural tooth roots, they are one of the most durable tooth replacement options available.
5. Will my dental implants look natural?
Yes. Dental implants are designed to closely match the appearance of your natural teeth. Your custom restoration will be crafted to blend with your smile, helping you achieve a natural-looking result that feels secure and comfortable.
6. Can I eat normally with dental implants?
One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is the ability to enjoy many of the foods you may have been avoiding. Once your treatment is complete and healing has occurred, implants provide a strong, stable foundation that allows you to chew and eat with confidence.
7. What if I've been wearing dentures for years?
Many long-term denture wearers successfully transition to implant-supported solutions. Dental implants can help eliminate common denture frustrations such as slipping, movement, and the need for adhesives while providing greater stability and comfort.
8. How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of treatment depends on factors such as the number of implants needed, the condition of your oral health, and the type of restoration recommended. During your consultation, we'll review your options and discuss financing solutions that may help make treatment more affordable.
