Female patient presented with old fillings (amalgam) that were leaking and broken down. Also the patient had a tooth that was not restorable due to a large cavity. Due to the nature of amalgam, the silver mercury filling leaks over time causing cavities and cracks in the teeth. In fact, due to the mercury in amalgams, it has been banned in many European countries due to its health hazards. For this specific reason, our office recommends composites for filling cavities. This patient had all her silver fillings removed and replaced with brand new porcelain crowns on the right. Similarly, the patient's left side had the silver fillings removed and replaced with a porcelain bridge which filled her missing tooth.

"I highly recommend Dr. Kim for anyone new to the area, or looking for better care."
Dr. Kim has been my dentist for over a decade now. As someone who came in extremely nervous to go to the dentist, him and his team continue to put me at ease. He's truly a professional, and really impresses me with his knowledge. The staff are great to work with too, some of the nicest and most caring folks you'll meet.
I've had everything from routine fillings to a root canal, and couldn't be happier with the level of care I receive. I highly recommend Dr. Kim for anyone new to the area, or looking for better care.
