About Dr. Kim
USC-trained dentist, implant specialist, and founder of Kairos Dental Group. Serving Anaheim and Koreatown Los Angeles.
Background
Dr. Kim started in dentistry as a dental hygienist in 2004, giving him a patient-centered perspective that most dentists don't have. He understands what it feels like to be on the other side of the chair — and that understanding shapes how every appointment at Kairos runs.
He went on to earn his DDS from the University of Southern California in 2011, one of the top dental programs in the country. He founded Kairos Dental Group to build the kind of practice he always believed dentistry should be: thorough, honest, and genuinely comfortable.
Today he practices advanced implant dentistry and full-scope general dentistry across two locations in Anaheim and Koreatown Los Angeles.
Clinical Focus
Dr. Kim has pursued advanced postgraduate training across multiple disciplines to deliver treatment that goes beyond what most general practices offer.
Advanced implant placement, bone grafting, GBR with PTFE and collagen membranes, and immediate loading protocols. Single teeth through complex multi-unit restorations.
In-office biologic therapy using the patient's own blood to accelerate healing after extractions, grafts, and implant placement. No synthetic additives.
Clear aligner certified, treating mild to complex cases. Straighter teeth with no metal, no wires, and minimal disruption to daily life.
From routine cleanings and composites to crowns and extractions — built on a hygienist's foundation, where prevention is never an afterthought.
Philosophy
Kairos is a Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment.
Dr. Kim chose it deliberately. The right moment for dental care is now — before a small problem becomes a large one, before an ache becomes an emergency, before avoidance costs more than treatment would have.
Every appointment at Kairos is built around making that moment worth your time: clear explanations, honest options, and clinical work done well enough that you don't have to come back to redo it.
Korean-American Community
Dr. Kim is Korean-American and conducts consultations and treatment in Korean, Spanish, and English. He understands the specific concerns, communication preferences, and trust barriers that can make dental care feel inaccessible.
The LA office is located in Koreatown at 3600 Wilshire Blvd, making it one of the few implant-capable practices in the heart of the community. Patients travel from across the region specifically for bilingual implant and specialty care.

Patient Feedback
Dr. Kim explained every step of my implant procedure clearly. I was nervous but he made the whole experience manageable. The result looks completely natural — I can't tell which tooth it is anymore.
Being able to speak Korean with Dr. Kim made such a difference. I've avoided the dentist for years because of the language barrier. He took his time explaining everything and I finally feel like I have a dentist I trust.
I've been coming to Kairos for two years. Dr. Kim is straightforward — he tells you what you actually need, not just what generates the biggest bill. That honesty keeps me coming back.
