Dr. Ashton was born and raised in California and received his dental degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC in Los Angeles. After graduating he moved with his family to Texas and has practiced dentistry in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for over 15 years.
Dr. Ashton decided to pursue dentistry because it allowed him to combine a love of science, creativity, and problem solving. He quickly discovered that he could best utilize these interests with dental implants. He has completed hundreds of hours of implant-based continuing education, successfully completed thousands of implant-related procedures, and taught many courses to dentists on dental implants. He currently serves as the Director of Surgery and Implantology for Deca Dental Group, where he actively trains hundreds of doctors to become great implant dentists. He was awarded a Mastership in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists for his dedication to implant dentistry.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Ashton enjoys time spent with his wife and four children. They love to travel, eat new foods, as well as to play and watch sports. They particularly enjoy soccer, where he has coached each of his children's teams as they have grown. Dr. Ashton also enjoys music and concerts, and speaks fluent French and Tahitian while still working on his Spanish.
Dr. Sung Han is a board-certified Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon who comes from a family of dentists. He developed an early interest in Oral Maxillofacial Surgery through his father. Inspired by before-and-after pictures of his father’s jaw surgery patients, Dr. Han also wanted to become an oral maxillofacial surgeon to help people using his hands.
He went on to receive his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Brown University, graduating with Honors. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Detroit Mercy, School of Dentistry in Michigan. He was invited to be a member of the OKU National Dental Honor Society and was the recipient of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) dental student award of his graduating class.
Dr. Han earned his Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in Southern California. Afterwards, he completed a 1-year General Surgery internship during which time he was nominated Resident Physician of the Month. He then finished his residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Loma Linda University Medical Center where his training focused on dentoalveolar surgery (wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, and dental implants), oral pathology, anesthesia, facial trauma, and orthognathic surgery. His research during residency focused on in-office anesthesia and multimodal pain management.
Dr. Han is an active member of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology.
Dr. Han is fluent in English and Korean. Outside of the office, Dr. Han enjoys singing (he was a member of a famous college A cappella group), cooking Thai and Japanese dishes, watching European soccer, and spending time with his wife, daughter, and dog.
