Dr.Kim has been my dentist for about 2 years now and I can't recommend him enough. He's very gentle and knowledgeable. He did a great job on the crown I got and he took out my boyfriend's wisdom teeth. Although having your wisdom teeth removed isn't fun, Dr.Kim was very efficient and there were no complications. He explained everything very well and saw my boyfriend for a follow up just to check how he was healing. We appreciate his professionalism and will continue seeing him and recommending him!

Awesome dentist! I have severe anxiety when it comes to seeing the dentist. Dr. Kim made me feel very comfortable. He took his time with my treatment. Could not feel the needle at all! Will be back to see him.

Dr Kim prescribed antibiotics for a toothache I had and I later found out that these antibiotics reduce the effects of hormone birth control. Dr. Kim had full knowledge I was on birth control at the time, but neglected to disclose this effect. This could have had a severe impact on my life (luckily that was not the case), but this risk could have been avoided if he simply indicated this side-effect and suggested alternative protection while on antibiotics. My impression was he is a young and cocky dentist who should not be allowed to prescribe medications or conduct complex dental procedures. In the same appointment he jumped to the conclusion that I required a root canal before even looking at my teeth. He's there to make money, and will try to convince you that a root canal is the only option - get a second opinion.

Dr. Kim is a great dentist. I went in for a molar tooth extraction and I was very nervous. Dr.Kim was professional, friendly and extremely good in his field. Dr. Kim has got a new lifetime patient. Thank you Dr.Kim

I visited Dr. Kim for first time with a lot of tooth problems and I found a really kind dentist, professional, making me feel sure that my treatment was the right choice for me, and informing me all the time the procedures required to improve my mouth health, I am glad that I had the opportunity to have him as my dentist of course he is highly recommended.

Fantastic dentist. Very patient and understanding especially since I get tense when visiting the dentist. His staff is always very friendly. His team always show that they care and make me feel comfortable. Once, he had to step out for around 10 minutes or so. To make up for it they gave me a Starbucks gift card! Definitely recommend this dentist!

Dr.Kim and his staff were so helpful when I had a toothache. They got me in right away and after a few days of antibiotics Dr.Kim treated my tooth with a root canal. I am so grateful to him for getting me out of pain quickly. I will definitely go back to see him again.

Biography

Dentistry was always a part of my life. When I was growing up, I always looked forward to going to my mom’s clinic after school to watch her work (and to play with the cool gadgets, of course). It is an ever-changing field and I’m always striving to be better, constantly aiming to be well above the standard of care. I am frequently partaking in continuing educations to further enhance my skills, and get familiar with new technology. When I get asked, “Do you like your job?” I often answer: “Well of course, because it’s not a job, it’s a passion.” I’ve been in Calgary for most of my life until I moved to Edmonton for University. I received my Bachelor of Physical Sciences in 2010 and Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2014 from the University of Alberta. I can speak fluent Korean as well. I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry. Whether it’s something simple as restoring a cavity to a more complex case, it is always rewarding. I have particular interests in Cosmetic dentistry and Oral surgery. I am a firm believer that great bedside manner is equally important as clinical skills. We all know dental anxiety is a real thing, and for the extremely nervous patients, I offer IV sedation to make it as comfortable as possible for the patient. Outside of dentistry I enjoy spending time with family and friends. In the summer I’m usually doing outdoor activities, such as playing basketaball and golf. In the winter, I try to get out on the hills as much as possible to snowboard. Most importantly, my role as a health care professional is to ensure that my top priority is you, my patient.
