About Nova Dental
Dr. Kim's cleanings and fillings are often wrapped up in under an hour inside a notably clean, modern office in Newark.
Nova Dental is a general dental practice in Newark that also offers Invisalign, though most reviews focus on routine care. Visits are often described as fast and efficient, with cleanings and fillings completed in under an hour, and the office itself comes up repeatedly as clean, modern, and well organized. Dr. Kim is noted for explaining each step before starting a procedure and for gentle handling of cleanings and extractions, including saving a tooth that another office recommended pulling. Anxious patients and families with several children in treatment are mentioned often among those who visit.

Wait time is far too long. I show up 15 minutes before my appointment and still was not called until one hour later. UNACCEPTABLE!!!
