"There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all dentistry"

A local Washingtonian, Dr Whan Mike Cho grew up in King County amid a family of four. He attended the University of Puget Sound where he graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Natural Science Chemistry. He then attended the prestigious dental program at the University of Southern California (USC). Needless to say, Dr Mike is a huge Trojan’s fan. While at the university Dr Mike had the opportunity to create custom fitted mouth guards for USC’s football team, which is pretty cool. But it wasn’t all fun and football at dental school, Dr Mike also spent a good deal of his time following his passion: treating under privileged families in local clinics, county hospitals, and rescue missions with warmth, kindness, and exquisitely practiced dental care.

After 5 years in California Dr Mike returned home, where he settled down in Snohomish County, married his girlfriend of eight years (Hyun-Ji), had a son, and began to lay the foundation for his new take on friendly, family focused dentistry. Since 2012, Dr Mike has traveled, to Costa Rica, China, Peru to provide free dental care to patients of all age groups. Now firmly settled in his practice, Dr Mike enjoy cycling, skiing, crabbing/fishing ,watching USC football games, and being outdoors in the splendid, beautiful Pacific Northwest we all call home. He also enjoys watching Ethan and Ryan play soccer with Washington Rush Club.

“I believe, that in life, we all have the potential to overcome vast challenges. That by having the right partners through the journey of life, a person can magnify their potential. Through DDS Dental, my staff and I develop lifelong partnerships with our patients so that we can assist them in improving their oral health, their well-being, and brighten their smiles. It only takes one golden smile to know someone’s innermost self. The teeth, not the eyes, are the window to the soul.”

-Dr Mike

Dr Mike performs each procedure on an individual basis, meeting the needs of a particular patient.“No one cavity is the same”, says Dr Mike, “there’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all dentistry.” Influenced by the practice and ethic of his father (Dr Cho), Dr Mike has proven to be a dedicated craftsman in the field of dentistry, pursuing innovative techniques in modern dentistry through continued education, research and self development. His goal: to help people one smile at a time.

 Born and raised in Washington, Dr. Will Hovander grew up in Edmonds, WA with his two brothers and sister. Dr. Will attended Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience. After his time in Bellingham, he attended the University of Washington School of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. While in school, Dr. Will was able to participate in research projects and clubs that focused on helping those in rural communities that lacked access to dental care. Dr. Will places an emphasis on patient education and understanding, believing that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions about their health and treatment options. Outside of his career as a dentist, Dr. Will enjoys staying active in his free time. This can range from a nice hike in the beautiful PNW, to golfing with his identical twin brother (who’s also a dentist!). Dr. Will looks forward to providing quality dental care and education to the Marysville and Lynnwood communities.
