A little more about Dr. Alexander T. Kim & his practice...
High Standards
A standard of excellence in personalized endodontic care enables us to provide the quality dental services our patients deserve. We provide comprehensive treatment planning and use endodontic microscopy to achieve optimal dental health. Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.
Education & Prevention
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, and taking digital radiographs when necessary. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.
Uncompromising Safety
Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross-contamination procedures using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). All instruments used are sterilized and sealed until required for each patient. All non-reusable items are new for each patient visit and aftercare are properly disposed of under the NJ DEP code. Dental and medical sharps are separated from use and transported by a NJ state-approved medical waste carrier for proper disposal and tracking.
Training & Expertise
As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians. We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep you and your smile healthy. To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern endodontic office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art endodontic care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.
A Positive Experience
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
We thank you for allowing us to take care of your endodontic needs and look forward to serving you. Call us with any questions or concerns, and schedule an appointment with Dr. Kim today!
