Finding a dental office where you feel genuinely welcome and well-cared for isn’t always easy. If you’ve been searching for a new dentist in Glendale, CA, you’ll find that patients in our community often share how Dr. Lucio Kim and our dedicated team have transformed their dental experience.
Located conveniently on East Glenoaks Boulevard in Rossmoyne, our office has become a trusted dental home for families throughout Glendale and surrounding communities, from Burbank to Pasadena.
Expert Care from a Dentist Committed to Excellence
In Dr. Kim, you'll find a dedicated dentist whose career is built on pursuing excellence. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree at UC San Diego in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, giving him a deep understanding of the science behind oral health. He subsequently graduated from USC's dental program and into UCLA's highly competitive Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency. Here, he received intensive training in advanced techniques and treating patients with complex needs.
Dr. Kim's commitment to education extends beyond his own learning, however. As a USC and UCLA dental school faculty member, he helps shape the next generation of dentists. When you become our patient, you’ll benefit from this same level of skill and expertise.
Your Time and Comfort Matter
When you arrive for your appointment, you’ll notice our commitment to patient comfort right away. Instead of the rushed atmosphere you might expect in many dental offices, you'll find a calm, laid-back environment where appointments typically start early or right on time. You’ll also find an outgoing team who greets you by name and remembers your story and preferences.
Treatment Plans as Individual as You Are
What truly sets our practice apart is our approach to patient care. We believe in conservative dentistry: Not every cavity requires immediate intervention, and not every treatment plan looks the same.
Dr. Kim takes time to understand your dental concerns and other factors influencing your treatment decisions. He considers your lifestyle, goals, budget, timeline, and even previous dental experiences. When you first meet Dr. Kim, you might be surprised when he asks, "What are your expectations of me as a medical provider?" This question reflects our strong commitment to personalized patient care.
Advanced Dental Solutions with a Gentle Touch
Dentistry has progressed significantly in recent years. We are committed to staying current with these advancements and combining our technical expertise with gentle, patient-centered care. Whether you're interested in our minimally invasive pinhole technique for gum recession, efficient adult orthodontic options, or advanced implant procedures, we offer the best dentistry has to offer.
Hear What Our Patients Say
Our patients' kind reviews tell the story of our practice better than we ever could:
"Dr. Kim reframed my understanding of - and relationship to - the biology of my mouth. There was no guilt trip, only clear explanations," shares one patient.
Another note, "He really takes the time to listen to your issues and desires but also tells you what he feels is best based on his experience. The follow-up via phone call or email showed how much he truly cares."
Making Quality Dental Care Accessible
We believe everyone deserves access to excellent dental care. In addition to accepting major PPO plans like Delta, Aetna, and Cigna, we offer CareCredit and flexible in-house payment plans. Before any treatment begins, we provide clear information about costs and insurance coverage, eliminating financial surprises.
