Miracle Mile Comprehensive Dental Center

Dr. Jangwook Kim is the most honest dentist you’ll find. He will not tell you that you need work unless you really do! His clinic and staff are nice, and the cost is very affordable.
I went there to get a second opinion because I had been to a different dentist that had told me I needed a lot of work done. Dr. Kim completely dismissed what the other (scam) dentist had said and told me to use Sensodyne and a night guard for my sensitivity.

Dr Kim is amazing! Just had 3 cavities done and felt nearly ZERO pain! He also keeps you super informed and thought me so much about stuff I had never even heard of before from any other dentist! I just moved to Los Angeles last year so I was really nervous about finding a good dentist here but now I know I made the right choice with Dr Kim and will definitely come back to him any time I need something done to my teeth! Super efficient too I was in and out in about an hour (including treatment on three cavities)! All the assistants /​front desk are super friendly too! Great place! :)

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Kim and his staff.
After moving to LA, I was afraid to leave my trusted, long-​time dentist in Riverside and find a new one in LA that would not lie to me. It is very difficult to find a dentist that is more concerned about his patients than making money. So after putting off the dentist for a long time, I finally looked through Unilocal for days before I carefully chose Dr. Kim.
I have Unilocal to thank for saving my dental life. I have never been treated so well at a dental office before Dr. Kim’s. I felt as if I were the only dental patient in the world. The lady that did my X-​rays was so careful and gentle that I almost liked taking the X-​rays. (Dental X-​rays are something I’ve always hated!). The hygienist also took her work very seriously. She took her time cleaning my teeth and answered all of my questions carefully. And Dr. Kim was the cherry on top of my visit. He made me feel very comfortable and made sure all of my questions/​concerns were answered. To top it all off, no one lied to me about my teeth or sold me things I didn’t need. After years of not visiting a dentist, I just had one small cavity that needed filling. You can’t beat that experience!
I am so sad that with my new job, I no longer have PPO insurance. I am forced to find a temporary HMO dentist until I get a new job that offers PPO. I will surely go back to Dr. Kim’s as soon as I do!

— Dr Kim is funny which makes the whole dental thing less stressful
— The ladies at the front desk and the dental assistants are caring and non judgemental if you cry (me)
— There are little TVs to watch in the dental chair
— Affordable!

After having an extremely painful hour and a half cleaning, a few days later I was still in pain. Then a piece of my tooth cracked and when I went back to the dr he told me it’s no big deal and charged me for the visit?! That day the rest of the tooth crumbled because of the horrible cleaning. Now I’m having to go through a root canal (with another dentist thank god) and when I asked for them to help pay for the bill they refused, saying its my fault.
I will NEVER return to this office! And I highly advise you to stay far away!

I’ve seen the whole spectrum of dentists in LA, and Dr. Kim is the best. I have always felt like his only concern is what’s best for me, NOT what will cost the most. His staff is also very kind and competent. I highly recommend this dentist.
For example: I tried the HMO dentist I get through my job. She told me I needed major work – about $ 4,000 worth of crowns and fillings and rinses. I decided to pay cash and go back to Dr. Kim… I left with a simple $ 200 filling.
I’m sticking with Dr. Kim.

I have been going to Dr Kim for over 3 years and he is still the best in the business. He is super nice and patient to all customers and is willing to answer any type of questions you have. I would definitely recommend anyone to him!

I only come here for routine cleaning by Kim (not Dr. Kim, but Kim the hygienist). No experience w/​orthodontic practice here (I see Dr. Luis Martines for that, who’s also awesome).
Kim’s the only hygienist in LA I’ve faced that does not cause any pain; the only pain I sometimes feel is from my teeth sensitivity which isn’t her fault (and even that she’s careful about). She’s patient and thorough when she cleans, definitely has those calm, steady hands not even a lot of dentists have. She’s also pretty down-​to-​earth (and can be quite funny). She’ll be real with you as a hygienist but also as a person, so my routine visit every four months is always a good experience.
After the cleaning, Dr. Kim will do a brief follow-​up check. He provides some good tips for daily oral care. He’s also a nice guy, but I personally can’t chime in on his skills.
After everything’s done, you’ll get a goodie bag (toothbrush, etc.) from the front desk. Make sure to validate your parking ticket before heading down to the parking lot (entrance is from Cochran).
Bottom line, if you’re looking for a good hygienist, Kim’s the best there is. Just don’t overbook her that I can’t see her anymore :)

I’m in the middle stages of a tooth implant with them, and have to say that they’re just awesome. Their customer service is fantastic — always making sure they minimize any pain and explaining each step in detail. More so, they take the time to make sure everything is right. When I went the first time, there was only one seat left in the waiting area, so I thought I made a bad decision. But I never felt rushed or part of some assembly line.
I still hate going to the dentist, but they mitigate a lot of the anguish. Thanks, guys!

The dentist is very diligent and patient, his staffs are all very courteous and professional. Highly recommended. Plenty of parking in the structure. As long as you are punctual, they will get you started immediately without wasting any of your precious time.

I love Dr. Kim! Many people that complain about billing issues seem to assume that you need to straighten that out when you show, you don’t. The ladies there at super nice and can answer most questions over the phone. He is always such a fun and professional person that explains things before doing them until he knows that you understand. He doesn’t push procedures on you— which I love. He did a great job at. Filling in some worn out front teeth and provided me with tons of info on how to prevent damage in the future. I have been coming here for two years and have nothing but great experiences with this company.

I came to this dentist for Invisalign consultation. They charged $ 45 for consultation… which they didn’t much. It was just a dentist with an assistant looked at my teeth and told me basic stuff. I forgot her name but she wasn’t really friendly nor I felt she was very enthusiastic about treating my teeth…
The receptionist gave me and estimate and it was $ 900 more than two other places that I got quotes from. I chose one of them because not only consultation was free but also they show that they care.

While eating popcorn, my rear molar broke. One part of the tooth was completely shorn away. Of course, it happened on a Friday. I called because my husband goes here for his teeth. And I am in a panic thinking «Crown!» «Root Canal!» «Implant!»
They got me in the same day. Dr. Kim looked at the tooth and explained what he was going to do to repair it. He was professional, courteous, and considerate. He even asked whether I had fear of dentists (I do.). He provided headphones to me to watch TV while he worked. It’s a nice touch!
Before doing the work, one member of his staff came in to explain what it would cost before doing the work.
He repaired the tooth, and I am very pleased with the result as well as his gentle demeanor addressing my fears of dentists. He also worked very quickly.
I am happy that I now have a new dentist.

Here’s the thing, I really liked the dentist, so I hate to leave a negative review. My issue is with the billing. I blame myself because I read the negative reviews about billing, but somehow thought I would be different.
I went in for service. I asked before service if my insurance covered the services, they said yes, then sent me a bill for services anyways.
I had to call 4 times before actually talking to the lady who does the billing. But I’m sure she got all of my messages because I got a bill after every unreturned call.
When I finally talked to her about my issue, instead of her apologizing she tried to flip it on me. Somehow I didn’t do/​ask what I should have, or that they gave me an «estimate,» to they see soooo many people that they probably didn’t have time to research my actual coverage. I’ve been twice and both times I was the only person there, so I don’t believe it.
Had she apologized, I would have moved on, but those tactics are wack and dismissive and I will take my business elsewhere.

I have been to approximately 7 or 8 dentists in my life, and Dr. Kim beats them all by a wide margin.
While I am not trained in dentistry, it’s pretty obvious that his skills are top notch. He was able to do things with my teeth that other dentist told me were impossible. He is very aware of, and a great manager of, pain.
He is also much more honest than any other dentist I met. He has never pushed me in the direction of more expensive options, in fact, he has recommended cheaper options when they made more sense for me.
I’ve spent a long time with Dr. Kim over the past few months as he has replaced a bunch of dental work that was botched up in a Central American medical tourism trip gone wrong. I am very happy with everything.
And if that wasn’t enough, he’s a really likable guy, and his staff is about as friendly as they come. Dr. Kim, I love you, man.

Been a patient here for 4 years and everyone at this office is very friendly. Hygenists Michelle and Kim are both very gentle and thorough with my teeth cleaning, and as a bonus they are both very pretty making it a pleasant experience.
Dr. Kim is also very professional and knowledgeable. I refer all my friends to this office. You can’t go wrong coming here for your dental needs.

I highly recommend this dental office! The facility is squeaky clean, the front dest clerk and X-​ray tech were friendly and welcoming, the dental hygenist, Kim was so gentle and thorough with my teeth cleaning, and Dr. Kim is needless to say… amazing. I’ve been coming to him for a few years and haven’t considered seeing any other dentist since. He’s very thorough, informative, and HONEST. He always makes me feel at ease while he does his work and never hesitates to stop to ask me if I’m feeling okay. I’m looking forward to my next check up!
I also met with the orthodontist yesterday for my braces consultation. She was so sweet and informative. I will definitely see her again very soon!

Just switched to this dentist. Staff is super friendly and really professional, from the front desk to Dr. Kim, himself.
Dr. Kim makes you feel at ease while he does his work. He and his assistants were really thorough, explained what they were doing at each step and made getting my teeth cleaned a really pleasant experience.
I definitley recommend this place!

I had a less than pleasant experience here.
My old dentist moved offices and was no longer in network with my insurance, so I thought I’d find a new dentist closer to my apartment. In March 2013, I scheduled a orthodontic consultation and a regular teeth cleaning with Miracle Mile Comprehensive Dental Center. For new clients, I would definitely get the insurance stuff sorted out before you arrive. Their receptionists don’t ask you for that information until you get there. This leads me to my next piece of advice for first-​timers: ARRIVE EARLY. Get there at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time so you can fill out the thick packet of paperwork…
In my case, I spent the first thirty minutes of my appointment filling out the paperwork and trying to get my insurance information from my dad (I was under his insurance at the time). Needless to say, I became frustrated. I told one of the receptionists that they should have gotten all this information from me BEFORE I came in and what did she do? She rolled their eyes at me. I was then subjected to the most unprofessional and rude behavior I have ever experienced in a dental office by this receptionist!
I complained to the dentist, Dr. Kim, and he apologized convincingly. He then proceeded to clean my teeth very quickly. I think he did an okay job at best. He also advised that I get a filling on a tooth that my other dentist never mentioned as being problematic.
Fast forward to July 2013. I receive a bill in the mail stating that I owed their dental office $ 100. I’m confused since they told me they accepted Delta Dental PPO and my insurance fully covers two dental cleanings a year. After a phone call to their office, it turns out that they billed me for X-​rays they never took! What the heck? The only saving grace to this issue was that they resolved it fairly quickly.
Their orthodontic consultation are complimentary, but I didn’t find their prices very attractive.

Just moved to LA a few months ago and finally got myself a new dentist. Both the front desk and the X-​Ray tech were very welcoming and warm which really reflects on the practice and the dentist. Dr. Kim is very friendly, informative, honest, thorough, and caring. He gets the job done and consciously makes an effort to create a personal relationship with his patients. Haha he’s very chill… we even talked about the usual K-​Town spots we drink soju and eat at… well where I drink and eat at… Of course Dr. Kim doesn’t do that anymore. ;)
I’m glad I found a great dentist in my neighborhood! Looking forward to my next visit!!!
