★★★★★

For anyone who is afraid to see a dentist, fear no more!! For anyone looking for a great dentist… this is the one! This dental office is the best and will have you leaving the office with a huge smile on your face! Dr. David Kim and his staff are so friendly and professional. He is completely thorough with his examination and what he finds and will give you his honest recommendation on what step to take. He is so easy to talk to and is not scary (ha!) unlike other dentists that will give you that feeling. I admit, I have always been afraid of going to the dentist because of past experiences but this office and Dr. David Kim definitely eased my worries. I’m actually looking forward to future visits which is so unlike me! Thank you Dr. David Kim and staff!

I’m so very happy that I found this fantastic dental office! Dr. David H Kim is my dentist and he is amazing! Gentle and caring, just like the rest of his staff. As long as I live in Irvine, CA he will be my dentist! I’ve had an extraction and root canal from Dr. Kim, you are in very good hands with him! Their office is very clean and nice. I highly recommend Irvine Lake Dental !

My family and I have been going to this dentist for YEARS. They are top-notch and even though we only go once a year (oops!), they still remember all our names, what’s going on in our lives, etc. I have no idea how they have such good memories. I think they must secretly take notes or something.

I had been going to other dentists before and thought the quality wasn’t as great and felt like I was being charged an arm and a leg for dental work. These guys are great and affordable. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

I was introduced to Dr. Kim by a family friend in 2007. Our family has been coming back since.

Honest and thorough service kept us coming. They are friendly, professional, punctual, and very personal with you. I always feel taken care of.

Received couple crowns, regular check ups with Dr. Kim (both of them). They even fixed some issues from previous treatments with other dentists. I highly recommend them to any new patients!

Just got two wisdom teeth removed. I was so nervous and scared. I had an amazing experience here. Dr was gentle yet firm. Very relaxed and all in all it took 25 minutes to remove both. Painless procedure and now recovering nicely. Will recommend friends and family here. What a great place !!!

(…)Irvine Lake Dental staffs put me at ease and comfortable. Dr. Kim is the most patient, kind, and caring dentists I’ve ever encountered in my life.
After having an awful experience at my previous dentist back in San Francisco, I moved down to Los Angeles and found Irvine Lake Dental through (the internet). I scheduled my first cleaning, which went smoothly, was done professionally with new equipment, and quickly. I was hooked, and enthusiastically scheduled in my next cleaning.

Every time I come, there is always consistency with their work. They always make me feel comfortable, even when I have to take x-rays (which is the most uncomfortable part for me!) Highly recommended.

Steven K. from Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Honest, professional and trustworthy.
And, the services are reasonably priced.
To extract my impacted wisdom tooth, I would have had to pay (much more) at a different office.  Dr. Kim removed my wisdom tooth for (a great price), and under an hour without full anesthesia.
Highly recommended.

Evelyn K. from Irvine, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I absolutely love my dentist. Dr. Kim is very professional, attentive towards my care. The staffs are very courteous. I had my first visit for a cleaning and Dr. Kim did my cleaning himself, not a hygienist. And I got my two fillings replaced last week. The entire time I felt so comfortable and he was very informative, gentle and thorough. I am very pleased with the result, so far he is the best dentist I’ve ever come across. I would highly recommend this place.

Rose P. from Sacramento, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Kim, and his son, Dr. Kim, have both been in charge of my family’s dental hygiene since I was 3 years old. We drive close to 30 minutes to see them, and we couldn’t imagine it either way. It really is a family business, and they practice with that mentality. They remember you, your stories, and are personable. Honest, and thorough. Ive had 4 separate wisdom teeth removed through them, countless cavities, and endless cleanings.

J. M. from Tustin, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I am the pickiest person when it comes to choosing who provides for my healthcare. I love this dental office!! I have been seeing Dr. David Kim for years now, he is very skilled, always offers the least invasive and simplest treatments whereas I’ve been to other dentists who try to tell me I need all kinds of crazy work done costing (a lot) ….crowns, etc. I’m only in my 30’s and take excellent care of my teeth! Dr. Kim  is very honest and gentle, nice office staff too.

Stella K. from Irvine, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I love this place because staff are very kind and always willing to help me. Doctor Kim is very gentle and explains things very well. He gave me comfort so I am not afraid to visit dentist office anymore. Absolutely no hurting which I like the most! 🙂

★★★★★

My family and I all go here now. We found this dental office (on the internet) and the reviews are true – this place is great! Dr. David Kim is very considerate, patient and clear with all services recommended and done. Also he is gentle and open on Saturdays which is convenient. I had 2 fillings. My husband just got a crown & cleaning. Quality of work = superb. We are really happy and plan to come back for all future dental work.

Minsun K. from Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I started coming here a few years ago. This place is great. The staff is kind. The dentist, Dr. David kim, was very thorough with his examination. Before I came here, I had 7 gold crowns and implants done. He thoroughly checked status of all and explained everything very clearly. I liked that he didn’t push for unnecessary treatments like my previous dentist did. Dr.Kim is very honest, accommodating, and professional. I would highly recommend this place.

★★★★★

I found Irvine lake dental through (the internet). I’m so happy with all my experiences here. Everyone is gentle and kind and it’s the same every time I’m there. Scheduling is very easy and accommodating and they will remind you of your appointments. You ladies are awesome! Dr. David Kim had to extract my tooth and he did a great job. He was so thorough, made sure I knew what was being done, made sure I was comfortable, and the whole thing was so pain free. Oh yeah, I freakin love the x ray machine there. It’s so cool and high tech!! You will see what I mean when you see and experience it.

I’ve had horrible experiences at dental offices before. I’ve had a root canal done horribly wrong. The dentist was on the phone convincing another patient to wait for her at her other location while she was working on my root canal. She was rushing and did a horrible job, hence the extracting of the tooth. She also charged my insurance for more than the work done. I seriously get anxiety whenever I go to a dentist. Thank you so much for restoring my faith in dentists. My husband also had deep cleaning done and I’m coming back for other dental care work. You’re our favorite dentist now. I’m referring my family and friends here because I want them to experience the best dental care ever!

Been going to this dentist for at least 5 years. Both Dr. Kims are gentle, friendly, and know what they’re doing. They handle appointment times well so we rarely have to wait! My wife and I plan on staying with this office for a long time.

Janet B. from Santa Ana, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I recently visited Lake Dental to get an annual check up and found that I had several cavities.  I ended up getting a cleaning and also had my cavities taken care of.  The doctor was very helpful in explaining my treatment plan and the fees were very reasonable.  I would recommend this dentist.

Jean L. from Irvine, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I’ve been going to Lake Dental for over 3 years and I am thankful for my friend who referred me to here.

Dr. David Kim has extremely dexterous hands. I usually hate anesthetic shots, because even after the numbing gel, I can still feel the needle and the injection coming into my mouth. But, with him, I feel some pulls and tugs, and with a little pressure on my gum, it’s over!

One time, I had an emergency visit for my son on a Saturday because his regular pedodontist  was not available. Dr. Kim stayed extra hour treating my child. My son is ultra sensitive and he literally cried and screamed when he saw a regular dentist, but Dr. Kim was so good that he didn’t complain as much. I was also impressed with his willingness to stay extra hour to care for a patient (…)

I like the front desk staff as well. The office manager really remembers and knows the patients. She is also very friendly and always follows up with any insurance issues.

Diana C. from Irvine, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I have been a patient for at least seven years and Dr. Kim has always been amazing!  He’s very personable and skilled and always does his best to make sure you’re comfortable.  Everything is explained in great detail and I never feel like he’s rushing.  I always feel very cared for as a patient.  And I really like the fact that he does all my cleanings.  I’ve heard that at some other offices it may be a dental hygienist instead.
The front office and assistants are great.  Bianca is my favorite (she always remembers my name even though she only sees me every six months)!  
I’ve never had a problem getting an appointment at a time that was convenient for me.
Most importantly, I’ve always felt assured that they run their business with integrity.  I’ve never felt pushed into doing a procedure that I don’t need.  You will definitely find that they genuinely care about you as a patient.

Dave S. from Laguna Niguel, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Our family has been going to this office for the past three years.  The level of care, expertise and professionalism is exceptional.  We’ve had all forms of dental work done, from regular cleaning to fillings, deep cleaning, root canal and wisdom tooth removal.

Recently, my wife went to see another dentist while traveling due to pain, and the dentist suggested that she go see a specialist due to the alignment of her wisdom tooth.  Luckily, the pain subsided and she was able to make an appointment the fist day back from vacation.  Dr H Kim was able to pull out two wisdom teeth without any complications or pain.  

We have been very impressed with Dr Kim and his staff, and we’re very happy to recommend him to anyone who is in need of exceptional dental care.
