Dr. Jessica Kim is a wonderful dentist and she has a very professional and compassionate staff. They made me comfortable and at ease. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who is looking for a new dentist.
Went in for a teeth cleaning yesterday and although I am truly scared of the dentist my experience was pleasant. The service provided was outstanding. My teeth feel super clean. I have veneers too but the dental hygienist worked very carefully with them. Couldn't be happier!
Love Dr. Kim and her wonderful team! I've been seeing her for 9 years. My family and friends are also paitients.
Urban Dental has truly been a blessing for me, and after going there for the last seven years, I can honestly say they have consistently provided outstanding care. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. Everyone is kind, patient, and understanding, and I have always felt genuinely supported and cared for. What I especially want to share is how life-changing Botox for my jaw has been. I was very hesitant at first because I had been dealing with jaw pain for so long that it had become part of my everyday life. Eating was uncomfortable, my jaw was constantly hurting, and I even experienced swelling in my temples. I kept putting it off because I was unsure, but finally deciding to do it was one of the best choices I have made for myself. The relief has been incredible. It has made such a difference in my day-to-day life, and I only wish I had done it sooner. For anyone who has lived with this kind of jaw pain, tension, and discomfort, I cannot recommend this enough. Urban Dental gave me real relief and helped me feel like I did not have to keep living with that pain. After seven years as a patient, I can say with complete confidence that Urban Dental is exceptional. I am beyond grateful for the care I have received and would absolutely give them five stars. I highly recommend them, especially to anyone considering Botox for jaw pain.
