Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth through titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone. This solution prevents bone deterioration and bite shifting while offering natural aesthetics and functionality. Our two-phase procedure ensures proper integration and long-term success.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy eliminates tooth pain caused by infected pulp. Using surgical microscopes, we remove diseased tissue and seal the canal to prevent reinfection. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and retain their natural tooth structure.
Dental Crowns
Crowns protect damaged teeth after root canals or extensive decay. We offer zirconia and lithium disilicate options for superior strength and aesthetics. Custom fabrication ensures proper fit and natural light transmission for seamless integration.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Impacted wisdom teeth removal prevents infections, cavities, and adjacent tooth damage. Dr. Howard Kim's surgical expertise ensures safe extractions with minimal recovery time, using advanced techniques to preserve oral health.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments address surface stains and discoloration. Our in-office and take-home solutions use safe bleaching agents to enhance smiles while maintaining enamel integrity for lasting results.
