What Do Patients Say About Dr. Kim?

"Nearly my entire life, my natural smile was not an attractive smile – over the years my teeth became chipped and discolored from drinking tea and coffee. Worst of all, I noticed that I unconsciously hid my smile and did not take care of my teeth. During the past year, my wife encouraged me to see you about having my teeth corrected with veneers. I have deliberately avoided having my teeth corrected with veneers since I thought they did not look natural – too white and noticeably unnatural. After seeing you and having my teeth whitened and corrected with veneers, I now see how wrong I actually was. I wish to thank you for your professionalism and artistic ability in making my smile look as natural as it did when I was a young boy. Now, the only thing apparent to me is that my smile appears naturally bright-white and better than it did before the years of neglect. I now smile with a renewed confidence and I nearly always and deliberately brush after each meal and care for my natural smile better than I ever have. Thank you." —Velasco

"Dr. Duke Kim is a Renaissance man! His work is state-of-the-art – cutting edge – first rate, yet in the Style of Leonardo da Vinci, himself - his work is art, too. Beautiful. He treats the person, not the tooth! He once agonized for a very long time over the color of my veneer on a back tooth. Now, it is so close to my own teeth color that even I can't remember which tooth is not mine. He has saved several of my teeth. Once, while sitting in a very boring meeting at work, a colleague leaned over and whispered, 'This is just like having a root canal.' 'Not for me,' I replied. 'I love to go to my dentist!" —Lucy

"Being accident- and cavity-prone as a child, I 'lived' at my dentist's. By the age of ten, I already had four root canals, about a dozen cavities, and three crowns, and received humiliating reminders of my horrible teeth and guilt trips for not taking care of them. I learned to smile with my mouth closed, and eventually stopped going to the dentist. I first came to Ballston Dental Arts about two years ago. I had broken my front tooth for the second time and made the decision to finally find a good cosmetic dentist. The minute I walked into Dr. Kim's practice, an experience drastically different than those in the past began. My reception was warm and welcoming. Dr. Kim impressed me with not only his professionalism, knowledge and skills, but that he cared for his patients like family. We discussed a treatment plan and my questions were answered with patience. My biggest surprise? After my first major appointment, Dr. Kim called himself to make sure that I was feeling alright. He gave me his cell and home phone numbers in case I needed to contact him. Definitely a pleasant surprise; a first. Dr. Kim never once lectured or made me feel guilty, and he would always say, 'when patients love their teeth, they take better care of them.' And he is absolutely right. Dr. Kim helped me to love my teeth and allowed me to start to really smile again. And most importantly, thanks to Dr. Kim, now I will have a beautiful white smile to go with my beautiful white gown on my wedding day!" —Catherine

"'You have a beautiful smile!' 'You have nice teeth!' These are compliments I have received since Dr. Kim performed a full-mouth restoration for me. During the years, I have had several root canals, crowns and bridges. About seven years ago I walked into Dr. Kim's office for a consultation. Dr. Kim recommended a full-mouth restoration of which he explained the details to restore a natural and bright smile. I consented; and in a few weeks I had a 'celebrity' smile. Dr. Kim and his team are remarkably talented in their work. A great deal of care and perfection went into every detail of my restoration. That same care and perfection continues into keeping my teeth and gums healthy. I continue to visit Dr. Kim and his team for my routine dental hygiene care. I commend Dr. Kim for this superlative artistry in cosmetic dentistry, I thank his dental hygienists for keeping my teeth and gums in the best condition; and I have an enormous appreciation for the office team that always accommodates me, the patient. Thank you, Dr. Kim and team from the bottom of my heart for my perfect smile." —Barbara

"Dr. Kim is a very hard-working gifted artist who strives for excellence in his practice. He has built a relationship of trust with all of his patients. No matter what I'm wearing, I always have my best feature with me, my smile." —Judith

"Dr. Kim does quality work – but even more important is the way he treats his patients. He takes the time to explain, the procedure/treatment that one has to go through – I think this is comforting and reassuring to people like me who are not so crazy about going to the dentist. Dr. Kim is a great dentist who cares." —Maria
