Dr. David Han

Dr. Han has been practicing in Chino Hills since 1993. He is known as a gnathologist, a dentist who studies the masticatory system, including its physiology, functional disturbances, and treatment. In other words, Dr. Han is a dentist who treats teeth, bites, joints, facial muscles, and the neuromuscular mechanism as a whole. He performs extremely accurate dentistry, verifying his work as it progresses, applying well-founded gnathological principles and producing final dental treatments that are beautiful, comfortable, predictable, and long-lasting.

Dr. Han’s passion for excellence and unique career development in dentistry have allowed him to offer comprehensive, general, esthetic and occlusal dentistry that has been time-tested on his patients.

Dr. Gerald F. Preiner, D.D.S.

Director, Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education for Dentists

Dr. Han has continually demonstrated a remarkable desire to expand his dental education as well as his clinical knowledge and expertise. I can personally attest to the high quality of his clinical skills as he has successfully performed several dental procedures on me.

For several years, Dr. Han has been a lecturer and clinical instructor at the Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education (F.A.C.E.). During his time here, he has been very instrumental in bringing about the advancement of new techniques, as well as educating and training the students (licensed dentists) on how to master these techniques.

Since he first appeared at F.A.C.E., he has been most eager to effect positive changes. He has always been highly regarded by the faculty, students, lab technicians and all who come in contact with F.A.C.E. It has been my distinct privilege to be associated with Dr. Han as a teacher, friend and as a patient of his.”

“Dr. David Han possesses both the knowledge and skills that enable him to deliver to his patients the highest standard of dentistry known to the profession. His dedication to his patients and his untiring pursuit of excellence qualify him to be listed among the top clinicians of his profession.

The faculty and students at the Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching the highest standards of dentistry in the world, owe a great deal to the efforts of Dr. Han. He has unselfishly given his time and expertise to help us reach the goal of becoming the best we can be in our profession.

Dr. Han is not only a mentor in teaching the technical skills, but a living example of one whose professional ethics make him the type of leader who we’d all do well to emulate. I feel very privileged to be his fellow teacher and friend.
