What to Expect During Your First Exam
Your initial visit typically lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Michelle Kim will perform a comprehensive oral examination that includes a thorough review of your teeth, gums, jaw, and bite alignment. We use digital X-rays to get a detailed picture of your oral health while minimizing radiation exposure. Our team will also complete a gentle professional cleaning and an oral cancer screening.

After your exam, Dr. Kim will sit down with you to discuss findings, answer questions, and outline a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals. We believe in transparent communication — you will always understand your options, the costs involved, and the recommended timeline for care.
