Why did we choose Dr. John H. Kim, DDS as one of our Top Doctors?

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. John H. Kim as a top dental sleep medicine dentist in Orange County because of his fellowship training, his board certification, and a practice limited to sleep and jaw disorders. Dr. Kim earned his dental degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 2002 and then trained at UCLA, where he completed a two-year fellowship in orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine as chief resident. He is board certified by the American Board of Orofacial Pain. Few dentists in the area bring this level of formal sleep and pain training to appliance therapy.

What sets Dr. Kim apart is the narrow focus of his Irvine office. He does not run a general dental practice; he treats sleep apnea, snoring, TMJ pain, and bruxism. Patients receive a sleep-disordered breathing evaluation, a treatment plan, and a custom oral appliance when they qualify, with CPAP alternatives for people who cannot tolerate a mask. His office also offers CBCT imaging, splint therapy, and injection treatments for jaw pain. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. John H. Kim among the top three dental sleep medicine dentists in Orange County.
