Dr. Dean Kim excels in Cosmetic Dental field

South Gippsland Dental Clinics’ Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Dean Kim, has recently returned to the Leongatha clinic from a recent Cosmetic Dental conference in Europe.

Attending the European Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry Conference in Florence, and the Cosmetic Dentistry Seminars in London proved to be an extremely worthwhile experience according to Dr. Kim.

“The Conference was a fantastic experience. Getting the opportunity to meet and network with some of the world’s leading Cosmetic Dentists was a great opportunity. Not just for me, but also for our clients. I’ll be sure to bring some of the learning’s from the conference to the South Gippsland Dental Clinic in Leongatha.”

The 3-week conference and seminars were attended by Cosmetic Dentists from all over the globe and covered all aspects of cosmetic dentistry including ceramic restorations, tooth whitening, orthodontics and dental implants.

According to Dr. Kim, the conference brought the latest development to the Leongatha clinic, but also reaffirmed some of the clinics existing procedures and values.

“It was good to confirm we are on the right track in regards to our services and our values to rival the very best cosmetic dentists in Europe and the US. We really try to make sure we conduct very thorough and comprehensive dental exams when we first meet a new client. Part of that process is really about listening to the client and their goals, and combining that with the exam to offer the right solution for the client.”

“Any dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist. But to be a true cosmetic dentist, not only you need fantastic clinical skills but you must be able to spend time and listen to everyone’s individual needs and that is why we have developed our unique Smile Assessment and Comprehensive Examination. We also aim to take time and listen. Sometimes we spend many hours with our clients to discuss about their overall smile design even before they sit on a dental chair.”

Cosmetic Dental can mean many things to many people. To some it is a simple procedure like teeth whitening, or straightening. However, in reality it could be a combination of treatments involving the whole face to provide a solution that meets the clients’ goals. According to Dr. Kim this is why it’s important for clients to keep an open mind and speak honestly with their Cosmetic Dentist.

“We really appreciate clients that come in and really speak open and honestly about their goals. We really need that open honesty so we can clearly establish goals and design a program or solution that can achieve those goals.”
