Trusted Carlsbad, CA Dentist

Dr. Kim is a third-generation dentist and grew up in Orange, California. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University. Since then he has spent hundreds of hours taking continuing education courses because he is passionate about dentistry and believes in providing the best possible care for his patients. Most recently, he completed the Las Vegas Implant Maxicourse, which is the highest level of continuing education in implant dentistry. He also enjoys learning about digital and cosmetic dentistry. He has helped restore countless smiles for his patients and believes in a very conservative approach to cosmetic dentistry. By utilizing Invisalign to help correct the patient’s bite and place teeth in ideal positions prior to placing cosmetic restorations, it allows Dr. Kim to conserve tooth structure and achieve long-lasting smiles. He believes in staying current with the most up-to-date treatment modalities and prides himself on his conservative, but comprehensive approach to dentistry. He is committed to providing quality care with a gentle touch.

He is currently working toward his Fellowship for the Academy of General Dentistry. He is an active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Academy of Clear Aligners, American Dental Association, California Dental Association, San Diego County Dental Association, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and Academy of General Dentistry.

When not in the office, Dr. Kim enjoys spending time with his wife, Emily, and his daughter, Elaine. He also has two furry friends– Libby, a Goldendoodle, and Stanley, a timid cat. On weekends, you can find the Kim family visiting local playgrounds, exploring the zoo, or riding their tandem bike by the beach.
