Conservative Dentistry! Dr. Kevin Shim is a big believer in efficient dentistry and improving your oral health with the most effective and least invasive techniques. Your comfort and satisfaction! We want your visits to Premier Gresham Dentistry to gear towards a spa-like experience for your oral health rather than something you dread. We understand some patients may be anxious so we always have options.

Dr. Shim grew up in Santa Rosa, California and has lived in the Portland area for over a decade. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry from Pacific Union College and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Loma Linda University. He opened the doors to Premier Dentistry in 2005 and gathered a team just as competent, passionate, and caring as himself. His goal was to create a practice that covers all oral care needs. Premier Dentistry was built and equipped for general dentistry, oral surgery, implants, endo, full mouth reconstruction, dentures, all specialties are covered. Dr. Shims vision for Premier Dentistry is to get patients mouths healthy and leave them with bright smiles.

Dr. Kevin Shim is a believer in personalized care. He listens to what patients have set as their smile goals and balances it with what they need for their oral health. He also emphasizes on educating patients on their treatment and at-home-care.

Dr. Shim also extensively attends continuing education courses. It not only improves his skills but keeps him current, engaged, and excited about dentistry. He feels very blessed to be practicing in the information age, where new techniques and materials are quickly evolving and improving. He loves technology, and he tries to incorporate as much as possible into his practice for a better patient experience.

Premier Dentistry was built on the foundation of getting our patients mouths healthy so they can focus their time, energy, and money on things that make them happy. My patients arent in constant need of root canals, crowns, or implants. We try to minimize the need for such procedures with preventative care. Dr. Kevin Shim

Im passionate about oral health and helping my patients develop their healthiest, happiest smile. The memory of my father, former NFL player Dave Stief, inspires me to teach people about the risks of oral cancer. During a patients visit, I talk with them about their mouth and how its health affects the rest of their body. I especially like working with our adolescent and special-needs patients, providing a positive dental experience, and helping others overcome dental anxiety.

My husband Craig works for the Gresham Fire Department. We share our home with our well-loved rescue dogs, Rudy and Jasmine. I enjoy cheering for the Ducks, Cardinals, Redskins, and Craigs Dallas Cowboys.

I have wanted to be a Dental Hygienist since I was 10 years old and still feel like I am working my dream job. I graduated with my Bachelors of Applied Science degree as a Registered Dental Hygienist from Pacific University in 2012. I love serving the wonderful people in the Gresham area. Getting to know my patients and helping them achieve their oral health goals is my favorite part of my job.

I am married to my favorite person, Sean and we have two fun little girls- Parker June and Weslee Monroe. We are very involved with our local church and are a family that loves tropical vacations, spending time outside with our dog, Mylee and we love sports- Go Blazers, Go Beavers and Aimees Green Bay Packers.

I absolutely love dental hygiene! My favorite part about my career as a hygienist since 2012, is getting to personally know each patient and helping them with their oral health needs. I strive to be the best I can be to make people feel comfortable and happy to get their teeth cleaned. I absolutely love this amazing dental team and couldnt be happier to be a part of it!

My family and I recently moved to Oregon and are happy to call this gorgeous place home. We love to go camping, spend time with family, and play outside all day with our two boys. I couldnt be happier during this time in my life and I am enjoying every minute of it!

I enjoy helping a wide variety of people in such an amazing and diverse community. My goal is to help support our patients in any way throughout the entire process of their treatment at Premier Dentistry. We strive to make each dental visit as comfortable as possible so that every individual can have a positive experience at our practice.

I love meeting new people, getting to know them, and hearing each persons life story. We serve an amazing community and its wonderful to help friends and neighbors develop healthy smiles! I support patients during visits: prepare them to see the doctor, explain what will happen, and answer their questions. Sitting chairside, I help the doctor with the procedure while talking with our patient. I also keep our office clean and organized.

When Im not working, I enjoy time with my friends and family, especially my husband, Chris. We enjoy hiking, backpacking, and camping. I have two cats, Khloe and Sophie and dogs Brutis, Toby and Penny.

I enjoy meeting our wonderful patients and their families. I know going to the dentist can be stressful for some people and Im here to make it as easy as possible. Its my pleasure to answer questions, help with paperwork, and review financials. At Premier Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves a healthy smile that makes them happy; Im glad to be part of making those smiles happen!

Outside of work, I am married to my best friend and blessed to be a mom to an amazing little girl, Leah. In my free time, I enjoy camping, traveling, horseback riding, and spending quality time with my friends and family.

I believe first impressions are everything! That is why I love working at the front desk as a scheduling coordinator. I truly enjoy, and am passionate about greeting every patient with a smile and starting up friendly conversations to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible. Whether youre calling our office or walking through the doors, I will always greet you with a smile!

My favorite things to do in my pastime is anything spent with my husband and two little girls. We love the outdoors and taking our tiny cozy trailer out camping any chance we can get. My husband and I are hoping that one day our favorite hobby of fly fishing will become both of our girls favorite hobby as well.
