Dr. Kwon

Meet Dr. Joong Gun Kwon

Orthodontist

I have been practicing dentistry in Los Angeles for over 30 years, and I still enjoy being in a profession that helps others, not only with their teeth, but also with their self-image. I know how important a beautiful smile is to people and how the condition of one’s smile can indirectly affect a person’s confidence. Through the course of treatment, I have been able to see how something as simple as straightening one’s teeth can change a person’s outlook on life. Giving my patients the confidence to smile is just one way that I am able to have a positive effect on another person’s life.

Education

  • Seoul National University College of Dentistry
  • University of Southern California School of Dentistry
  • Certificate in Orthodontics from the University of Southern California

 

Continuing Education

Participating in continuing education courses allows me to give my patients the best possible treatment with the most stunning results. I take continuing education courses throughout the year in order to stay-up-to-date with the newest techniques and treatment systems.

I maintain memberships with several prestigious dental and orthodontic organizations, including the:

  • American Board of Orthodontics (Diplomate)
  • Korean American Dental Association
  • Seoul National University Alumni Association

Outside of the Practice

I am originally from Seoul, South Korea, and have lived in Los Angeles for many years now. Growing up in another country, and then moving to America was an eye-opening experience for me. The exposure to different cultures has enriched my life and allowed me to learn new things from those around me.

My wife and I have three children, two sons and one daughter, and are the proud grandparents of one grandchild. When I’m not at the practice, I enjoy golfing, snowboarding, ballroom dancing, traveling, and hiking.
