Dr. Jiyoung Kim is perhaps the finest dentist that I have ever been to in my life. She is kind, considerate, so knowledgable, and it will be the best experience that you can ever have in a dental chair. Without hesitation, if you want top notch dental care, go now, and go often, and you will never go to anyone else. She is the best. Wonderful staff, too, and the office is clean as a whistle. You will have happy teeth, and you will know you are in the right house.

Most professional dentist I've ever had with a top notch team. Suffered through some sub par dentist since moving to San Diego but have great dentist now!!

Absolutely wonderful service! I went in for a teeth cleaning, and haven't stop smiling since! My teeth were pretty dirty (verge of having tooth decay), but I walked out with seemingly a new set of teeth. Furthermore, I've been inspired to floss everyday and brush thoroughly. Would highly recommend Dr. Kim's office for any issues teeth-related!

Thanks to Dr Kim and her team, I have a beautiful, very natural smile for the first time In 50 years. A bridge that was made for me at age 21 was less than attractive, and I spent many years self conscious about it. I never made my smile a priority until I realized that a nice smile would make me feel younger, as the years started taking a toll on my face. I am so glad that I chose Dr Kim to make that happen!!

I recently had several teeth updated with crowns and veneers after finishing my ortho treatment elsewhere. Dr. Kim and her team created my treatment plan methodically and with care. I have a new smile and am very satisfied with the results. Dr. Kim is our family dentist and I would recommend her highly.

Dr Kim is a caring and exceptionally gifted prosthodontist. I went in with a badly broken front tooth that was impossible to mend. I had been referred to her by my excellent dentist who felt that I needed special treatment for this problem. She explained the situation to me very well and was able to make me a bridge that improved my bite so much and gave me a beautiful smile. I had had a bad underbite before so she improved my teeth esthetically as well as correcting my problem, all the time in her caring and intelligent manner. The whole staff in her office are wonderful and caring too.Thank you so much!

Dr. Kim is an amazing prosthodontist. She is smart, caring, and really takes her time to think through a complicated problem. For years I had been biting on my two front teeth, which had worn down dangerously thin. After exploring different options, she put crowns on them and adjusted my bite so that I no longer hit them. The crowns turned out beautifully and I am thrilled to finally be biting on my molars after years of no contact. I HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you, Dr. Kim!!

I am so grateful to have found THE BEST dentist of my lifetime! I have spent my life in a dental chair due to a birth defect which resulted in no enamel tops on either my baby teeth or my permanent teeth. As a result, caring for my teeth is a challenge. Dr. Kim not only provides excellent dental care, but pain-free, kind and caring treatment. She is constantly monitoring the patient's comfort while performing her procedures. I trust her ability to enable me to keep my teeth for as long as I live. She did an excellent implant for my brother, who was born without one of his eye teeth, and brilliantly replaced my bridge with almost nothing to attach it to. She listened to my concerns and addressed them. I wish I could convey how much I appreciates the care she and her staff provide!!!
