I went to Pacific Smiles looking to get some cosmetic work done to replace a front tooth I've had missing since childhood. Dr. Kim thoroughly evaluated my case using digital xrays and advanced imaging. He took his time to discuss all possible options with me, and I felt confident going forward to complete treatment with him. The process was easy and straight forward, yet a lot of detail was taken into consideration, which was very important to me since it was a front tooth being worked on!

Within two weeks from my initial consultation appointment, my Maryland Bridge was placed and I couldn't be happier! The color match, shape, and length are perfect. It blends in seamlessly with my natural teeth. Additionally, all of the front desk staff, assistants, and hygienists are very helpful and friendly which completes the entire 5 star experience. I would recommend Pacific Smiles to anyone looking for a new dentist!

I had 2 large fillings replaced today and had a bit of anxiety about it prior to coming in. I had a 9 am appointment and was walking out the door by 9:35. Dr. Fred Kim and his assistants were VERY quick and efficient. I felt no pain or discomfort the entire process. I have never had such a great experience at the dentist! I am so glad I found Pacific Smiles!

I have been a client of Dr. Kim's since we moved to Redondo over 10 years ago. I was very lucky I chose the best dentist in the area! Dr. Kim is a perfectionist and will make sure you are beyond satisfied with your procedure. He is also a very nice and personable person. The hygienists are all highly skilled and super friendly. The front office staff are awesome to deal with as well. I honestly enjoy going to the dentist because everyone there makes me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Pacific Smiles.

I never thought I could use the words "absolutely incredible" when describing a dental office until I came across Pacific Smiles. After years of terrible experiences at previous dentists I pressed the snooze button on cleanings and dental exams. 3+ years later I came to my senses and decided to choose a new dentist. Fearful, anxious, and cautiously optimistic I walked into Pacific Smiles and hoped for the best.

Well I got more than just the best. Every single person in that office played a role in making me feel comfortable and at ease. Dr Hanna is an angel, taking her time to explain her exam findings and recommendations. Not once did I ever feel that I was being pushed into anything. Her passion for dentistry shows and her compassion for her patients is evident.

My dental hygienist, Andrea, is quite literally a gift to dentistry. Do I dare say my cleaning was actually enjoyable?! It was! She's knowledgeable, non judgmental and has the most gentle touch. And last but certainly not least, the front office staff are so welcoming and excellent at what they do. From billing questions to appointments they are always on top of things. Thank you to everyone at Pacific Smiles for making this such a positive experience. I actually look forward to seeing you all soon!

I needed six front teeth removed (upper arch) and then have implants done to replace them. I found Dr. Kim in Redondo Beach and selected him because of the description of his services and abilities on his web site and his patient reviews of those services. I could have had an oral surgeon do the implants but had the confidence that Dr. Kim do all of the necessary work.

He did the extractions (without anesthesia) and it was done virtually painless for me. He then made me a temporary bridge for the 3 month period you wait for the implants to settle in. I didn't have to use a "flipper." Dr. Kim also replaced an existing partial for my bottom arch. He is simply a brilliant dentist who is very thoughtful, is a great communicator and has superior skills.

To add to that, his staff is flat out top notch. They understand what it mean to provide superior service. I highly recommend that you consider Dr. Kim not only for dental services but implant services.

I have a lot of anxiety going to the dentist, and this is the only office I've ever been where I feel comfortable. Daniella and Andrea have taken SUCH good care of me. They remember my flavor preference, and always check in to see if I'm nervous or have any pain. They are EXTREMELY gentle, even with the plaque buildup that always ends up behind my permanent retainer.

And of course my anxiety is worse with covid. But everyone in the office is double masked with a face shield. Their glove procedure is perfect, every room has a high power air filter. And the office is spotless, which was true even before COVID. The doctors are extremely professional, and take excellent notes. They don't go overboard with the x-rays, which I appreciate because my mouth is small and getting an x-ray tends to be a pain because the shields are too big. I've been coming here for. 7 years?! And every visit is better than the last. Thank you Pacific Smiles!

After having a pretty bad experience at another unnamed dental practice in Hermosa, about a year ago I decided to give Pacific Smiles a try. And I can honestly say it's the been best experience I've had at any dentist. Everyone that works there is super nice, down to earth, and they don't try to upsell you on services you don't need. Andrea does my cleanings and she is awesome!

This office is fantastic! All of the staff are friendly, relatable, and knowledgeable! I don't know if I've ever enjoyed going to the dentist so much. My cleaning wasn't just cleaning my teeth, Jill equipped me with new techniques on how to care for my mouth better without me feeling guilty, etc. And I went back (within the same month) to have some work done. Dr. Hannah (first name) has finesse!

I was in and out, my teeth feel amazing, not too much numbing, I was offered a blanket, received a pillow, and I'm pretty sure I dozed off within the hour. Both times I haven't waited in the front over 2 minutes! I'm bragging on this place, the people and the good energy there! Thank you everyone for making me feel valued and cared for genuinely.

Dr. Kim is, simply, the best dentist anywhere. He does everything in office and it's always perfect! When I came to Dr Kim, I had several cavities, though the cavities were obvious - one on a front tooth - my Manhattan beach dentist didn't catch them, which leads me to tell you about his equipment. Dr. Kim is an excellent dentist AND his equipment is state of the art. I was given great prices and excellent care! I love Dr Kim!

They treat us all very well and make it a great experience. I will continue to go to Pacific Smiles for all my dental needs, and you should too!

Dr. Kim and his staff are absolutely amazing. They show the utmost professionalism are focused our delivering exceptional dental care. I had an implant crown installed to perfection. The color was a little off, but Dr. Kim offered me replacement if so desired. I opted not to because it was a back molar, but the functionality is exceptional. They are also very patient in dealing with my insurance carrier who unfortunately have been giving them a hard time. Thank you for the great service on all fronts! I highly recommend this group.

I have been going to Pacific Smiles for a little over a year now. They were recommended to me by a co-worker. I live in Long Beach and it's totally worth the 35 minute commute. I have had 3 cleanings with Andrea. She is an exceptional dental hygienist. She is great at making me feel comfortable and at ease. Andrea is easy to talk to and a great listener.

She remembers personal details I have shared with her and then casually brings them into conversation while working on my teeth. It feels like talking with a friend. Another hygienist overheard me talking about my upcoming honeymoon (prior to COVID) and sent me an email with excursion and restaurant recommendations. Dr. Kim is also friendly, informative, and attentive. I can't say enough about the friendly and professional staff. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Best Dentist office I have been to in my adult life. Dr Kim is patient and informative explaining details to patients, and does a great job. Jill is an absolutely incredible dental hygienist. She makes the teeth cleaning experience as quick and painless as possible. She is incredibly gentle and attentive to pain and sensitivity during cleanings, and her kindness and positive energy is always a joy to be around. The front desk staff is amazing as well! I would highly recommend this office
