After working the last 4 years on the west side of Lansing, Dr. Kim, a general dentist of 15 years, has established herself as a Platinum Plus Provider of Invisalign in Michigan. Her passion is changing lives with healthy smiles and smile transformations. Her interests include Cosmetic Dentistry, Anterior Esthetics, Implant Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry, Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics, Orthodontics utilizing Clear Aligners (Certified Invisalign Provider) and Functional Occlusion and Smile Design using conservative, predictable dentistry that lasts.

Dr. Kim was born and raised in Michigan and went to high school in Saginaw. After her undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan in 1994, she went to New York University School of Dentistry and received her DDS degree and subsequent graduate prosthodontic training, cosmetic and dental implant training with top New York City dentists and mentors. She continues to study advanced courses with GDIA for dental implants and is a Dawson Academy alumnus, St. Petersburg, FL, and has studied under Dr. Galler, one of the most successful Invisalign providers and instructors in the country.

Her main approach to dentistry is providing the best education of the patient on proper form and function of their bite (occlusion) and why their current oral condition is the way it is, how to prevent future problems while providing the most harmonious cosmetic result. She likes to carefully listen to the patients needs and wants and understand the patients goals to work together to obtain the best result.

Mainly, she tries to be a perfectionist by striving toward dental excellence, all with a jovial, down to earth manner and creating a little fun in the dental chair for patients and staff. People are not just patients in Dr. Kims chair. They are family and always treated as such!

In her free time, she studies yoga-vinyasa and yin yoga, photography(her main subject is her basset hound Angus) and practices golf. She is a member of St. Williams Catholic Church in Walled Lake and St. Marys in Milford. Fun fact: She is married to one of the best Michigan PGA golf instructors and golf hall of fame player in the state.

Dr. Bradley Merritt is a recent graduate of Detroit Mercy and performed his undergraduate studies at Kalamazoo College. He is originally from Bloomfield Hills and now lives in downtown Detroit. He is a big sports fan, especially MSU-Go Green! He likes to spend his downtime golfing and spending time with his friends and family. He is excited to be joining our family and we are excited to have him here as well.

We always have a great experience. The staff is kind and thoughtful and has an abundance of patience with my girls who always have questions about their dental care. Everything is explained and questions are welcome. I am currently going through the invisilign process and I have been so pleased with the results and the ease of the process. I am so glad we have found this dental office and I look forward to future care with their office. I regularly recommend them to friends and family in our area.

Dr. Kim and Nicole the Dental Assistant are so professional and friendly. I came in as a new client, and as soon as I met them I felt like we had been friends for years. They're awesome at making their clients feel comfortable and they're even getting a new office soon for that modern feel. Highly recommend.

One of our friends recommended us this clinic. I am a MSU graduate student and live on the campus. This clinic is so close to the campus and accepts the MSU insurance. Most of all, everyone here is very nice and patient. My six-year-old daughter just had her first crown here today. Thanks Dr. Willems and her team.

I always had a fear of going to the dentist before coming here. Everyone is super friendly and caring. I never used to be able to sleep the night before going. I have no problems with that anymore. I have recommended this office several times and will continue to do so. They are all a caring group.

Honestly not my favorite time when I have to go to the dentist. BUT this place makes the uncomfortable bearable and greatly helped me with my anxiety when it came to coming to the dentist. Greatest dentist I've ever been to.

I recently had a check up at Caring Convenient Dentistry. Jaimie has been my hygienist for several years. She always does an excellent job cleaning my teeth. My dentist gave me an exam next; I loved her bedside manner. I would be happy to recommend this practice to anyone.

I had been searching online for a new dentist and had narrowed it down to 3. Then my daughter told me of her new dentist that she really liked. They were one of the three I had chosen. I decided to make an appointment. I broke a tooth before my first appointment. I called them and got an appointment the next morning, and we made a plan. They did the prep the same day and gave me appointment to have the permanent crown placed. Just as my daughter said they are incredibly pleasant, helpful, caring, and beyond convenient. I have been back a few times and in addition to being delightful people, they are very knowledgeable and professional. I know that dentists are supposed to give you a bright & beautiful smile. But these charming hard working people *make* me smile every time I see them. I feel so fortunate to have found such a wonderful group of dentists and staff!
