People who work here are very nice, good reminders on scheduled check ups, easy to get to for parking. Smooth service overall

I can confidently say I no longer dread dental visits. I'm truly grateful to have found such an amazing team (front & back office) and would highly recommend them to anyone, especially those who feel nervous or fearful about dental care. The dentists and hygienists take the time to explain everything clearly, never rush, and always make sure I'm comfortable before and during any procedure. That level of care and empathy has made what used to be a stressful experience feel manageable. Thank you all! read more

Highly recommend! Thank you the the amazing team here at Steve Kim Dental! I enjoyed my time here. The staff are kind and friendly. The dentist did an amazing job with explaining and next steps to maintain a healthy and bright smile read more

If I could choose between giving birth or going to the dentist, I would choose giving birth as that is how much fear I have of dentist appointments. My anxiety was through the roof on the drive here + I have the biggest fear coming here. It's not the pain per se but the psychological aspect of a dental office. I I receive a text from Christina that day before insisting that I'm in good hands which made me feel better. THE NEXT DAY: I get into the cold sterile uninviting office & I tell the lady behind the desk I'm here for my death sentence. Her robotic self didn't pick up on my fear of the dentist clearly, as she said "ok can I get your name & time?" Then the dental hygienist said, I need to remove all metal on my head for the x-ray. I told her I cant & the way she handled the situation made my anxiety go up (I felt so nervous already). I saw Dr Yoona Kim who made me feel so UNCOMFORTABLE & more nervous. Her personality was so awkard & not personable at all. Just staring at me the whole time, while I sitting in the seat so anxious & holding back tears. Her bed side manner is terrible !!! I could just never relax !! I was explaining how I have a fear of the drill (sound & the nasty burning smell that makes me sick to my stomach) - as I was explaining, she was VERY dismissive & showed no signs of empathy. I told her I preferred the water lase technology - which I learned this office doesn't have. This office is not "state of the art" as it claims on their website, as Dr. Yoona Kim said the water lase is "technology that is advanced" that we don't carry. This is why I HATE the dentist & avoid this place at all costs !!!!!!! Now as I'm sitting in the car typing up this review I'm in tears ugly crying. Leaving this stupid office with almost a $2K medical bill from these greedy folks. They don't care about patients here AT ALL.... you're just another number. First and last time coming here. read more

Steve Kim DDS Dental Group - Waiting area - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Torrance, California

See all

Definitely recommend! I've been a satisfied patient of Dr. Kim for years. Feeling a bit of discomfort in my jaw, I called for a follow up appt. and got one right away. Dr. Kim was unavailable, so I saw Dr. Yu. He was thoughtful, kind and clearly explained what he thought my issues was (and even had the office email me an article with further info). It's obvious that Dr. Kim thoughtfully hires other professionals, as well as support staff. I can't think of a visit where I wasn't treated with respect, kindness and care. read more

I've been going to this practice for a year now. Every time I come in I'm treated kindly and efficiently. I've had some issues with my TMJ that had had knock on effects - in some cases I needed to be seen urgently and they always found time to see me asap. The doctor's and rest of the staff are awesome. read more

My dad had to go in to get an emergency extraction, and they welcomed him in with no hesitation. From the initial phone call of me asking to bring him in. The person was kind on phone.Team was fast and treated my dad with care. My dad can eat without pain now.Thank you Steve Kim Dental you did an amazing job!!!! read more

I recently came here for a dental cleaning. I was expecting some work to be done on my teeth since it had been like three years since my last visit to a dentist. Sure enough, I had to have a deep cleaning and a cavity removed. In terms of the experience, I would give this place 5/5 stars. The deep cleaning was completely painless as they skillfully numbed my teeth. They even agreed to clean both sides of my teeth at my request even though it's typically a two day process. The staff is very nice and it's a very pleasant and relaxing environment. My issue is that I was charged $1495 for a deep cleaning alone. I was told my insurance only covered about $400. I found this odd since I have the high option through my insurance. Also, I have had this procedure done before and it only cost me a few hundred bucks out of pocket. I got some clarification from my insurance company about my bill. Turns out this office is out of network. Okay, I should have done a better job of researching and finding a place within network. That being said, even the insurance representative was shocked that I paid as much as I did for a deep cleaning. If you're looking for a dentist who provides great service, this place may be for you. Just keep in mind that depending on your insurance coverage and condition of your teeth, the visit may not be cheap. read more

Always great coming here, everyone's nice and cleaning is always gentle. They also clean your night guard if you bring it in during your cleaning. read more

First time I have went the dentist in years due to fear. The staff were so kind and welcoming. When I came in the place looked clean and sophisticated I forgot it was a dentist office. Then I meet the team. They walked me through what would happen every step of the way. There was no judgement about my teeth condition and if anything they made me feel like I was doing great by taking the first step and coming in. They were great at handling my anxiety and gave so much validation. This is a perfect spot for those who have dental anxiety as the team leads with care. read more

The care at this office is impeccable. I never wait more than a few minutes in the waiting area. I told them I had a phobia about getting dental work done and they made sure I was comfortable and little to no pain. The staff is incredibly friendly. I would definitely recommend this dental office! read more

Best dentist. Has really helped me out in a few emergencies and the staff is excellent.

My family and I have been coming to this dental office for a few years now and we cannot be happier! They do phenomenal work and take the utmost care to make us as comfortable as possible. We're treated like family on each visit. The entire team is incredibly friendly and the office is warm and inviting. We're always so happy with the results of our treatments as everyone is so knowledgeable. I wish I could give more than 5 stars read more

I've been going to this team/office for 2 years now and I have always had a great experience! I've had different dentists work on me as well as different hygienists but all across the board everyone is consistently amazing. Also they have great bedside manners and explain things so well. The front team members are very welcoming as well and accommodating and have been patient with me when rescheduling and taking my updated information and insurance. It's not easy to find a place with great integrity and amazing healthcare providers so I feel so fortunate that I found this place. I moved away 2.5 hours north , but because I love this office so much, I make the drive down to go to my appointments. Thank you guys so much!! --Jenny S. read more

I have been going to this Dental clinic for sometime now and my experience with them was always good!

This week I received my Invisalign retainer. I was so happy to complete the process and continue onto this next step. Noticed a new worker during my appointment. She was doing great. Keep up the good work! But I actually thought for a second there "where is Sally?" And then she popped out later happy and sweet as always. My visit isn't complete without seeing Miss Sally. She gave me tips on how to take care of my new retainer and answered a question I had. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for over 4 years now. Never in my life could I have imagined being excited to go to the dentist! Everyone here is so warm and welcoming.

Staff is very welcoming and very helpful. Front desk helped me with finding the best schedule due to work. Office was always clean. I had a deep cleaning done here and honestly it was a great experience. I was a little nervous going in, but the staff made me feel comfortable right away. They explained the whole process step-by-step and made sure I was numb before starting. I barely felt any pain, just some pressure. Winny (my hygienist) was very gentle and thorough, and I could already feel a difference in my gums after. No upselling or surprises with pricing either. Highly recommend if you need a deep cleaning. read more

* I've seen Dr. Steve Kim for several years & have had substantial work done, under his oversight & direction. * I found the doctor's work to be both meticulous & utterly flawless, from a qualitative & quantitative perspective. * His availability & follow up care are also excellent & have withstood the test of time. * And although he can be a bit on the pricey side, at the end of the day you truly do get what you pay for. read more

Dr. Yoona is very personable and professional. Loc is always great! Friendly and makes me feel so comfortable with my cleaning and exam. Feel so fresh and clean when I leave. read more

Best place I have ever gone to get work done on my teeth. They always treat you kindly like if they've known you for years, even from the first visit. They are very welcoming and they break down the treatment plans or what is priority. I'm glad they let me be who I am, usually energetic and a jokester with them. I highly recommend this place for anyone in need of a friendly dental place! read more

Great care and attention to detail. Winnie my dental hygienist was very knowledgeable and let me know, what I could do to improve my dental health. The staff and Doctor are extremely friendly and always make me feel welcome! Will always keep coming back. read more

Always a good visit. The office is very efficient. Never wait long. Everyone knows my name. Sally and Christina are always helpful, friendly and on point. read more

Staff was very nice and did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. Building was also very clean and the chairs are super comfortable

I've been a patient here for years, and the hygienists have always been excellent. However, Dr. Steve Kim is consistently condescending. Instead of offering clear explanations and a plan for care, he questions me like I've done something wrong--asking things like "what happened?" while viewing my X-rays and speaking to me as if I was child. It's disrespectful, especially when the hygienist had already explained everything clearly. Frankly, he is one of the main reasons I dread coming here. Interactions with him feel demeaning and unnecessary. Additionally, the costs at this office are high even with insurance. I will not be coming back to this office. read more

Steve Kim DDS Dental Group Dr.Lim did an excellent retreatment and rebuild of my root canal. It was a painless and smooth treatment from start to finish. He was incredibly caring, gentle, and professional -- I felt completely at ease throughout the entire process. His skill and attention to detail are truly outstanding. A big thank-you as well to Jasmine for her kindness and wonderful support. The entire team made my visit such a positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and his staff to anyone seeking exceptional dental care! read more

I highly recommend this dental group. Dr. Yoona, Sue (Hygienist), and Christina at the front desk have all been so kind to me and do amazing work. They all make you feel very welcome and try to make your experience there as good as they can. They never made me feel bad when I clearly have not kept my teeth in the best shape, but will always gently give me the positive reinforcement I need to maintain healthy teeth. 5 stars!! read more

Another reason to keep coming back. Just got a filling from Dr. Yuna, she is incredible. I told her I felt nervous because it had been awhile since getting a filling and she reassured me and walked me through the whole process with kid gloves. I didn't feel a thing!!! Thank you for continuing to staff wonderful dentists like Dr. Yuna! Of course Dr. Kim is always a hoot! I hope anyone who hesitates before going to the dentist will give this place a chance they are the best!!! read more

I love to come to this place, everybody is really nice and treat you with respect. They really enjoy what they do. They are always on time. The care they provide is excellent, since you get to the waiting room the receptionist are very amiable and nice, the doctors are very professional and patient. They explain what are you having done and the cause of it. They explain your x-rays very well. The place is very clean and before you leave the office they make sure you have a f/up appt for your next visit. I really recommend this place ! read more

I was looking for a dentist who wouldn't charge an arm and a leg. It's hard to find in California. Dr. Kim and Dr. Yu have both been great. I'm in the process of getting my first implant done. They both take the time to explain the process and patiently answer any questions. You'll walk in being greeted with a warm smile from Christina followed by an escort to your chair by the cheerful Sally who'll get you situated and let you know where you can find the best lechon if you need. Ask for Jasmine to be your dental assistant for any procedures. She rocks. On the way out, Amanda will take care of your followup appointments and smiles when she gently takes your credit card to the limit. Just kidding. Three visits and I remember them all. Dental work is EXPENSIVE. No doubt. I'd probably sell my first born if I had one. Quality care from experienced, genuine, professionals is what I've found at this office. Thank you! read more

And they offer good prices for all of the services they offer! I would say they're perfect for us! read more
