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.

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!
