Although I’m a bit late in leaving this review, I wanted to share my experience; better late than never!
I saw Dr Kim at Crown Dental last October for a cyst inside my lower lip.And I was quite nervous as I didn’t know about my cyst properly but she was very kind, soft-spoken, understanding, and informative. She explained everything clearly, recommended wisdom tooth removal along side my surgery and promptly referred me to an oral surgeon, and I had my surgery done within the same month.
The whole process was smooth, and I felt very comfortable . Highly recommend Dr Kim and the team at Crown Dental!

Highly recommended.

I came in for an emergency appointment because I was experiencing severe wisdom tooth pain. Dr Kim was incredibly kind and took the time to explain everything clearly before the procedure. The extraction itself was quick and smooth, and the post-extraction instructions were also explained very thoroughly.

What I appreciated most was the reasonable pricing compared to other clinics. It was also a huge plus that communication was available in both Korean and English, which made the whole experience much more comfortable.

Thank you, Dr Kim and the team!

It was my first time receiving dental treatment in Australia, and I was really impressed with the whole experience! At my first appointment, everything was explained clearly and kindly, and I really appreciated that they considered different options instead of just pushing me into treatment straight away.

When I came back for the procedure, the treatment was done professionally and comfortably, and I am very happy with the result. The staff were all so friendly, and the clinic itself had a very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere ☺️

Very friendly staff - myself and my daughter and niece were greeted straight away and made to feel very welcome and comfortable.

My daughter was a little nervous as it was her first dentist visit and she left with a big smile on her face and giggles, holding stickers and a tooth brush pack. Staff were so patient, calm and made it such a fun experience. We will be back!!!

I came here wanting a tooth extraction as I was suffering from severe jaw and tooth pain for multiple weeks. Dr Kim and her lovely dental assistant was able to get me in a last minute Saturday appointment where they provided me the highest quality care, diagnosed and treated my problem promptly.

They made sure I knew exactly what was happening at each step, and was more than reasonably priced. An emergency clinic quoted me $650 for an extraction without seeing me, and Crown Dental Care was able to do exams, xray, and a simple extraction for half of that.

I am so grateful I chose to see the team here and will most definitely be returning. 🩷

Easily the best dental experience I have had! Dr Kim was the perfect combination of personable and informative to make me feel comfortable and stress free in what I need for my oral health. After an extended period away from dental visits, Dr Kim made me feel absolutely no embarrassment, and performed a gentle and thorough examination and clean. In fact, I am excited to action the recommendations and already feel so much better about my oral health. The Netflix on the ceiling was a fun bonus! Had absolutely no hesitation in booking my next appointment!

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!!!🦷

Dear Susie,We're so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience during your treatment with us-- and even more thrilled that it changed the way you feel about visiting the dentist! We hope your gums stay healthy and your smile stays bright. Dr. Hansam truly enjoy educating our patients and looks forward to seeing your smile again soon. Wishing you a wonderful day!Warm Regards,Crown Dental Care
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.

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!
