Teresa Kang, DDS, PLLC - General dentist in Kirkland, WA

My favorite part of dentistry is meeting and learning about my patients and working with them to achieve a healthy smile. I love what I do and could not imagine myself doing anything else. I try my best to make my patients feel comfortable and cared for. I personally call all my patients that had treatment done that requires anesthetic. I want to make sure my patients are doing well and want to be available to them if they have questions. I try to educate my patient and encourage them to take and active part of their oral health. As a mother I enjoy seeing young patients and encourage parents to bring in their children by age 1 or by the time their front teeth comes in. This way we start healthy dental habits early for a lifetime of healthy smiles. My team and I do our best to help out patients feel at ease and listened to. Even patients with high dental anxiety we treat successfully, through good communication. We work hard to treat our patients well. My team and I take the time to listen to our patients and their concerns. It is my goal to have our patients feels comfortable and confident that their needs are our priorities. I also enjoy educating my patients about their oral health and systemic ties to their body as a whole. My staff also shares the same dedication and focus on patient care. We work hard to provide our patients with excellent customer service.

I am trained in many areas of dentistry and am confident that I will be able to help you achieve the smile you desire. I also pride myself on keeping up with the changing dental field and do my best for my patient. I am committed to continuing education and routinely attend continuing education so I can provide the families I treat with up to date, quality dental care and help my patients achieve a healthier and beautiful smile. My team and I look forward to meeting you!

I attended the University of Washington for my undergraduate degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery. I am a part of the Washington Academy of General Dentist Continuing Education Committee for the last five years; we help provide general dentists in the area quality continued education. I am also a part of several study groups in the area. I believe in lifelong learning and attend many continuing education courses. I also give back and participate in Donated Dental Service and do volunteer dental work when I can. I am active in the dental professional community. I belong to the following organized dental group.

Outside of dentistry I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my family. My husband and I met while we were in dental school at the University of Washington. We have two children Gavin and Kara that we adore. We are both from the Pacific Northwest and are very happy that my practice is close to our family and friends.

I am the newest member of the Dr. Kang team! I am one of our two hygienists. I love working with Dr Kang. I so admire her attention to detail, excellent way of explaining the what and why of what we are doing or prescribing. She is committed to excellence in dentistry as well as screening for several things such as sleep disorders, high blood pressure and diabetes. I have had various positions in the dental field but have most enjoyed my past 20+ years as a dental hygienist because it gives me a chance to build a trusting relationship with my patients. My love of dentistry and people has enabled/encouraged me to volunteer annually since 2006 in Jamaica providing dental care to so many underserved communities as well as volunteering locally on Medical Teams International dental van.

When I am not working or volunteering I am enjoying time with my husband of 35+ years, 2 adult children and 2 grand children. I love to travel and plan new adventures local and abroad as well as hiking and discovering new things to do around our great city!

I also love that I am doing something different every hour. What I appreciate about Dr. Kang is her attention to detail, she is very thorough, and she takes great pride in her beautiful work. I am so grateful to be a part of such an amazing team!!

    Friendly Dental Hygenists and Teresa Kang is superb. She worked on my fillings very quickly. Was gentle and made me feel really comfortable. She is definitely a perfectionists, making sure that everything looked right and I was happy with my services. Front desk, I believe her name is Caroline, is awesome too! Very knowledgable with the services and getting my insurance information quickly. Great staff!

    I have been going to Dr. Kang and team since 2017 and they have done incredible work on my teeth. I have some complicated history with one tooth and they have always been very proactive about taking care of issues before they arise and keeping a close eye on how it's doing. I've also had two new crowns, fillings, a chipped tooth fixed, and lots of maintenance over the years. Every single thing I've had done is gorgeous, feels great, and has held up beautifully. It's also fun seeing Dr. Kang light up about the work she is doing. The passion is definitely there! Overall just a very professional, friendly, and talented dental office. I always leave here feeling like I just had a chat with friends.

    Can't say enough good things about Dr. Kang's office. My first visit was for an emergency fix to a broken molar (thanks, popcorn kernel!)--even though I was calling as a brand new patient, they still managed to see me first thing the following morning. The visit itself went great. Dr. Kang and her crew are passionate, smart, and friendly. They took time to explain why my molar was weakened and what they did to fix it. They even let me guess at some of the issues we were seeing in x-rays. It's pretty insane to leave a dentist's office realizing you actually had fun during the visit. I've been there a few times since (for a cleaning and to get fit for a night guard), and everything I liked about my first visit still applied. Plus, small-talk never felt forced or awkward--everyone I've spent time with has been genuinely funny and easy to talk to. Special shout-out to everyone at the front desk, too! Scheduling and getting records transferred was painless. And when I was looking at having some more expensive work done, I was able to sit down with someone and look over the costs in an environment that felt low pressure and completely non-judgmental. I really appreciated that since the financial side of ANYTHING healthcare-related can be intimidating these days. If you're dreading finding a new dentist after years of never visiting one (I completely relate), you can't go wrong with this place. And you don't even have to wait til your molar breaks like I did!

    My dentist for life! Or at least as long as she chooses to practice, of course. Friendly staff, great reminders of future appointments, spotless facility through and through, the most up to date instruments and tools.

    I was very happy as a brand new patient with Dr. Kang!! I was able to get an appointment the same day I called!! I had problems with a recent tooth extraction and having some bone damage that was extremely painful !! Dr. Kang referred me to a specialist who was able to help me that same day!! I felt Dr. Kang was very experienced and knowledgeable!! I would highly recommend Dr. Kang for anyone needing dental work!!
