My family has been coming to Alder Dental for over 20 years. As the only dentist I had throughout…read moremy childhood, I never knew how lucky I was to come here for so long until I moved to LA and went through many mediocre dentists. I moved back to the Vancouver area a couple years ago and had to go to a different dentist due to a change in insurance, but just got to start going back to Alder and couldn't be happier about it! This dental office is first class, from the always friendly staff to the clean and very well maintained office. They spend a significant amount of time cleaning your teeth, and unlike other dentists I've gone to, I leave my appointment feeling like everything was thoroughly cleaned. I could not recommend this dentist more. I have never had any serious issues with my teeth and credit Alder for helping me develop good habits and always getting such good care there!

Hygienist also friendly and upbeat, as well as very good at what she does. Comfortable office and state of the art equipment. Overall, I can say it's a pleasure coming in for dental work. This is not something I can say for many other dentists I've experienced in the past.

After my pregnancy I had to have a ton of fillings done. I transferred here to have them done and…read morewith 8 of the roughly 12 fillings I've had done I've had issues with. 4 that I had done on my front teeth were done with a material that turned a total different color within a month. There are now noticeable brown spots on my front teeth. I also had a lot of pain during that appointment and didn't think it was their fault that I had a hard time getting numb but now I'm not so sure. I also had 4 fillings done in the back of my mouth within a couple weeks of each other. During one of these appointments Dr. Kim dropped the drill probably 3 times onto me and even had to get another one brought in. The lead dental assistant was resting tools on my teeth and the suction was pressed into the back of my mouth so much that I had to take a break from having my mouth open. 6 weeks later and I'm still having extreme pain from these appointments. I can't chew on that side, the top teeth bleed, throb and I can't put anything hot or cold in my mouth or it's excruciating. The pain is now in my ear and jaw. I'm constantly taking Tylenol until my appointment to have them fixed. I was also told I needed ANOTHER filling done during my cleaning. I went back to the original dentist and was told I don't need that additional filling, some of the fillings were bigger than they needed to be and she used a material for the front that he would not have used and the only way to fix the pain is to completely redo the fillings. I'm now out nearly $1400 to fix my teeth because insurance won't cover the same teeth more than once every two years. They offered to fix them but only if I went to the same dentist (the other dentist in the office said she wouldn't) I'm not sure how to be expected to trust more dental work by Dr. Kim with ALL of these problems. It's not one tooth bothering me, it's eight. I read other reviews about this office being "money hungry" and I should have listened and just went elsewhere.

After a quick look inside her mouth, the dentist advised that she had 15 cavities and would need to be referred to a different dentist, that they already have picked out, to complete the fillings. Just 6 months earlier, my daughter had zero cavities. I was very skeptical, so I waited 6 months until her next cleaning. We went to a new dentist yesterday, and my daughter has 1 cavity. ONE! Beware of dentists charging, or referring you, for unnecessary procedures!!

It's been a few years since our insurance billing issues, so I thought I should update my review…read more We haven't had any more issues with them billing our insurance since then. They have dropped some coverage with certain insurance companies, but luckily ours wasn't one of them. They have also had a lot of dental hygienist turnover the last couple of years, but they seem to have a full staff again currently. That's been tough for us because we had been spoiled with having the same hygienist for years and got to know them, which added extra comfort to an otherwise stressful experience. I've never enjoyed going to the dentist, but seeing a familiar face had helped ease my anxiety. We love the relaxing spa vibes in this office. It feels clean and comfortable, but not overly clinical like some dentist offices. They offer beverages in the waiting room, which also has a couch and fireplace, making for a cozy environment. We also appreciate that they can make a crown while you wait and watch a Netflix movie. It's nice not have to wait a week for a third party to make the crown and leave the dentist office with a temporary. The in-house crowns we're not something we've experienced before, so that's a huge plus! Overall this is an exceptional dentist office. They have a nice relaxing environment and have the capabilities of performing most dental services in-house. We would highly recommend.

He recommended a new night guard for me due to my problem with grinding. I'm very happy with the results. He's also very meticulous about his job. Truly this is the kind of service that I miss with all of this big dental center that is just usually eager to take your money. His service is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend going to his office for your dental needs.
