The dental cleaning service here is very satisfying! The scaling process was done very carefully. The doctor is friendly, communicative, and explains each step clearly. The place is also clean and comfortable. After the treatment, my teeth felt much cleaner and fresher. Highly recommended for those who want to clean tartar without worry!

Crown Dental made my feel so comfortable when I had my checkups and deep cleaning with Dr Kim, (as I was scared to see dentist 😢)I had bleeding gum problems for years now it’s completely fixed and my gum is so healthy 😆🥰Dr Kim also taught me the right way to clean teeth and gum. If anyone wants a real dental clinic to fix problems, you should go and talk to Dr Kim at Crown Dental!!!🦷

I am a person who traditionally has veered far from dentists as a result of painful, not to mention expensive treatments, I am now actually very happy to attend my 6 monthly checkups having had my teeth and gums carefully examined, expertly cleaned and so gently, yet well treated albeit a filling, root canal or implant.

Dr Han Sam is young, energetic and passionate about her work. It is very assuring to come across a professional who exudes passion for what they do, and are very open to sharing it in a way that is beneficial to the patient. I wish they would teach dental care like this in the classroom and the importance of starting right from birth and throughout ones life time.

I have all my family come to this dentist including my 5 year old daughter who just loves her visits especially given, she is on the list of Dr Han Sam's 'No-Cavities Crew Club!

After being treated by Dr Han Sam, my faith in dentists has been restored. Thank you Dr Han Sam, my only dental regret is I didn't meet you earlier still, on the bright side, I've met you now, and I am smiling 🙂

I’ve been coming to this dental clinic since last year, and it has truly been a wonderful experience. Not once have Dr.Kim recommended unnecessary treatments. they always prioritize what’s best for the patient. While other clinics told me I needed an inlay right away, Kim focused on preserving my tooth as much as possible. I plan to continue coming here regularly for check ups. It’s rare to find a dentist who genuinely cares about their patients, and I’m so grateful to have found one in my area. I truly hope our family can be treated by Dr. Kim for life.
Thank you Kim♥️♥️♥️

I recently visited Crown Dental Care and had an outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, they were incredibly accommodating and made me feel comfortable right away. The receptionist was warm and welcoming, and the dentist was extremely helpful, answering all my questions with patience and care. Dr. Kim took the time to explain every step of the procedure, making sure I was at ease throughout the entire visit. The service was efficient, professional, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Crown Dental Care to anyone looking for exceptional dental care with a personal touch.

Dr. Kim is exceptional at what she is doing! She is very genuine and honest with her practice. She has never overcharged or never done any unnecessary procedures (unlike some of other practices that rip you off). Moreover, her local anasthetic skills, that I can not praise enough, are just amazing!! Highly recommend 👍👍

I had the absolute pleasure of having Dr. HanSam Kim remove my wisdom tooth today February 28th, 2025 at Crown Dental Care, and I cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, the experience was incredibly smooth and completely painless. Dr. Kim is not only extremely skilled but also very informative throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain each step clearly, which made me feel completely at ease. The dental assistant was also super friendly, making the whole visit a pleasant experience. I’m so grateful for Dr. Kim’s professionalism and care - thank you so much!!

Had a wonderful experience and was well taken care off by Dr. Kim and the team. The clinic is sparkling clean, welcoming, modern in design and beautifully furnished. Above all, the care and treatment of Dr. Kim was second to none and she took extra effort and time to explain and teach the basic fundamentals of long term dental health care, which I found extremely helpful. Will certainly recommend for a visit!
