Meet Dr. Kim

I believe great dentistry starts with understanding. As someone who doesn’t exactly love being in the dental chair myself, I genuinely empathize with patients who feel anxious or unsure. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and at ease every step of the way.
My journey into dentistry began early - my first job in high school was at a dental office, and it planted a seed that stayed with me. In college, I explored a wide range of interests, from the arts to the sciences, but I ultimately found my way back to dentistry. I came to Indiana for dental school, fell in love with the community, and knew it was the place I wanted to call home.
Education is at the heart of my approach. I’m passionate about helping patients understand the “why” behind their oral health, because prevention and good habits are the foundation of a healthy, lasting smile. I finished a one-year general practice residency and continue to invest in hours of advanced training each year and have studied with leading institutions such as the Dawson Academy and the Kois Center to ensure my patients receive thoughtful, comprehensive care.
What I love most about dentistry isn’t just the clinical side - it’s the relationships. It’s getting to know patients and their families over the years, building trust that lasts decades. It’s seeing someone’s smile transformed and watching their confidence light up the room.
Outside the office, I cherish time with my husband and our three kids, and we love traveling and making memories together whenever we can.
