No phone call needed — it takes about a minute. We'll confirm by phone or text during office hours.
Most of what a household needs happens in one office — checkups, fillings, Invisalign, implants, and specialist care from the periodontist and endodontist who work alongside Dr. Kim. Here is a short map of what we do, and where to read more.
Exams, cleanings, digital X-rays when they're needed, and tooth-colored fillings — for kids, parents, and grandparents, often booked back-to-back so one trip covers the whole household. General and family dentistry in Valencia
For whitening, veneers, or a chipped front tooth, start here: Cosmetic dentist in Valencia, CA
Clear aligners from an Invisalign Preferred Provider. Dr. Kim plans each case digitally, so you can see a digital preview of the planned result before you start, and you leave the consultation with an estimated timeline. Invisalign in Valencia
First visits at the child's pace — show-and-tell with the tools, parents in the room, no surprises — plus sealants and cavity care as they grow. Some first visits are just a chair ride and a sticker, and that counts as a win. Children's dentist in Valencia
Our on-site periodontist places the implant and Dr. Kim designs and fits the crown, so surgery and restoration happen with the same team and the same records — no second office across town. Dental implants in Valencia, CA
Gums that bleed when you brush, look puffy, or seem to be pulling back are a reason for a periodontal exam, not a wait-and-see. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and further periodontal care are done here by our on-site periodontist, with the area numbed as needed. Gum disease treatment in Valencia
Root canals here are done by our on-site endodontist, trained at Boston University. With the tooth fully numbed, the appointment usually feels much like a longer filling — with the goal of keeping your natural tooth where it belongs. Root canal treatment in Valencia
We hold time in the schedule for emergencies every weekday and see most urgent cases the same day during office hours. Call as early in the day as you can, and we'll tell you what to do next. Emergency dentist in Valencia, CA

"I have an extreme fear of dentistry, but Dr. Kim and her unbelievable staff actually have me returning for scheduled upkeep!"
— Carrie C."Coming from a person who has historically hated going to the dentist, Dr. Kim is by far the best dentist that I have ever gone to."

Plan on about an hour. You'll meet Dr. Kim, we'll take digital X-rays if they're needed, complete a comprehensive exam and oral cancer screening, and walk you through what we see with photos of your own teeth. We accept most major PPO plans and check your benefits before treatment, so the estimate comes before the bill, not after.
No insurance? Our in-house Dental Savers Plan is a discount plan for individuals and families, and CareCredit and flexible financing can be arranged for larger treatment. What to expect as a new patient
For most people, every six months. If you have gum disease or tend to get cavities, we may suggest coming in more often — the interval is set for you, not by the calendar.
Yes — kids, parents, and grandparents. Mention it when you book and we can often put family members back-to-back, so one trip covers everyone.
Usually not. Our on-site periodontist places implants and treats gum disease, our on-site endodontist does root canals, and Dr. Kim restores and coordinates — all in the same Valencia office, with the same records.
We accept most major PPO plans, and most cover preventive visits like exams and cleanings at or near 100% — though what counts as preventive, and how often, is set by your plan. We check your benefits before treatment, so you know first. No insurance? Ask about our in-house Savers Plan.
Tell us when you book. Plenty of our patients came in after years of putting the dentist off, and the approach is the same for everyone: we go at your pace, show you what we see with photos of your own teeth, explain each step before it happens, and nothing starts until you've said yes to the plan. During a visit, a raised hand means we pause.
