Dr Hyemi Kim
Dr. Hyemi Kim graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in the USA. She also received her advanced training in prosthodontics certificate from the University of Pittsburgh. Her residency and participation as a junior faculty in the dental implantology course gave her the knowledge in complex treatments such as full mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic dentistry, and implant dentistry.
As a dental phobic patient herself, she truly understands the fear of dentistry. She believes in compassionate and gentle dentistry. She spends time to understand her patients’ needs and personalise a high-quality treatment to provide aesthetic and functional outcome.
When she is not creating smiles, she is exploring New Zealand and the rest of the world!
