Henry Kim, DMD MMSc—Prosthodontist

Dr. Kim is a prosthodontist, a dental specialist in the restoration and replacement of teeth. As a prosthodontic specialist, Dr. Kim has three years of advanced postgraduate training beyond a general dental degree. His specialty includes the treatment planning and execution of complex smile restorations, the aesthetic aspects of smile rehabilitation, and ensuring that the treatment results in a well-aligned, well-functioning and comfortable bite.

Dr. Kim received his prosthodontic training at Harvard University, where he also was given a research fellowship—a grant to perform research on behalf of the university. Dr. Kim has taught dental students at several universities and is licensed to practice dentistry in four states.

In addition to his top-quality work and high level of skill, Dr. Kim is known for his friendly, gentle personality and his patient chairside manner. “It is very important to me to do what is best for each patient,” says Dr. Kim. “I, therefore, take the time to get to know each patient. I want to understand their current situation and what they are looking to achieve, so that I can properly recommend what is going to work best for them.”
