General dentistry, periodontal treatment, dental implants, and prosthodontics from a specialist team -- all under one roof, just 15 minutes from Irvine
Most dental offices near Irvine are staffed by a single general dentist who refers patients out whenever a case requires specialist expertise. At The Loft Dental Studio in Costa Mesa, three doctors with distinct specializations work together to deliver every level of dental care in one location. This is not a typical dental office -- it is a multidisciplinary practice built to handle complex cases without the delays, miscommunications, and added costs of referrals.
Dr. Chanook David Ahn is a Yale-trained, board-certified periodontist and the practice owner. He specializes in gum disease treatment, dental implant surgery, LANAP laser therapy, bone regeneration, and gum grafting. Dr. Elaine Lu is a UCLA-trained, board-certified prosthodontist who specializes in crowns, bridges, veneers, full-mouth rehabilitation, and implant-supported restorations. Dr. Yuliya Filipenka is a general dentist who handles preventive care, fillings, root canals, and routine dental needs.
The practice uses CBCT 3D cone beam imaging for precise diagnostics and treatment planning, the PerioLase MVP-7 laser for LANAP gum treatment, digital periodontal charting, and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy for enhanced healing. Every treatment plan is grounded in peer-reviewed science and tailored to the individual patient.
Patient outcomes and experience are reflected in The Loft Dental Studio's 5.0-star Google rating across more than 107 reviews. Irvine patients consistently note the thoroughness of the consultations, the clarity of the treatment explanations, and the quality of the results.
Comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, cavity detection, fillings, root canal therapy, extractions, and preventive care. Dr. Filipenka provides attentive, thorough general dental care and coordinates with the specialist team when additional treatment is needed.
Porcelain veneers, dental crowns, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, and smile makeovers. Dr. Lu's prosthodontic training provides an advanced understanding of aesthetics, occlusion, and materials science that elevates cosmetic outcomes beyond what most general practices can offer.
Scaling and root planing, LANAP laser gum treatment, gum grafting, bone regeneration, crown lengthening, and comprehensive periodontal therapy. All surgical periodontal treatment is performed by board-certified periodontist Dr. Ahn.
Single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, All-on-4 full-arch solutions, and implant-supported dentures. Dr. Ahn places the implants and Dr. Lu designs and fabricates the final restorations, giving patients specialist-level care at both stages. Learn more about dental implants.
Crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, dentures, and full-mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Lu's board certification in prosthodontics means she has completed additional residency training specifically in the restoration and replacement of teeth, making her uniquely qualified for complex restorative cases.
