Melvin A Kum, DMD, MAGD, FICOI

I have been a patient of Dr. Kum’s for approx 30 years. Dr. Kum is extremely knowledgeable, kind and gentle. The ease of getting an appontment is outstanding. Upon entering his office one is greeted by two wonderful ladies at the front desk.
Always welcoming and cheerful. Hygienist, Mariam, is equally welcoming, gentle, efficient and kind.
Dr Kum has a knack of putting his patient’s at total ease. I actually enjoy going to his office.

Thanks for the painless filling, Dr. Kum! I just got my first filling in about 30 years and I was so terrified I actually cancelled my first appointment. But when I finally got up the courage to go it was a breeze! Dr. Kum’s friendly bedside manner instantly put me at ease and he explained every step as we went along.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Kum for about 10 years — even though I no longer work or live near his office! I keep coming back because everyone in the office is so friendly and has such great calming energy, going to the dentist actually becomes a pleasant experience!

My wife and her children have been patients of Dr. Kum for a LONG time (20+ years) and convinced me to see him for Invisalign — I am so happy that I listened to them. Dr. Kum is very personable and explained the entire Invisalign process in a very clear and concise way. The results are spectacular — he and his staff made this an almost painless process and I now have straight teeth and a much better smile

It’s a shame I never grew up to be a hygienist or a dentist. Dr. Kum and his friendly crew have taught me so much about personal hygiene over the course of 20 years. Brushing + flossing daily and getting my teeth cleaned every six months is my bread and butter. Even when I lived in New York I refused to find another dentist. I’ve been coming here since I was a child and it’s been a pleasant experience. The staff makes sure every single person is cared for thoroughly.
On cleaning: Mary Ann does a fantastic job, ask her anything she will tell you exactly how tarter works, how to floss, where your problem areas are, etc. She’s awesome. They use the best tools to really get out the build up and they inspect your teeth two or three times to touch up before they let you go. At the end of all the tarter scraping they use a gentle fine pumice paste to polish and clear away any plaque.
Dr. Kum is brilliant. He’s a family man, a hard worker and passionate, he really loves his practice. It’s no wonder the entire staff is positive and friendly, they’re just influenced by his kindness and efficiency.
His staff always calls to remind me of my appointments and they’ve never missed a call. He can’t do everything at this location but he has an awesome network of doctors who can remove wisdom teeth, replace things and what not.
Tips: brush after you eat and before arriving, it’s rude to have food stuck in your teeth, makes their job harder, not to mention they might miss areas. Parking is available on the street, however it is limited and I always see a huge costco truck blocking a bunch of spaces. I’ve been parking my car in their private garage for years. The highest they charge is $ 5 and you have to leave your key in the car, I’ve never had anything tampered with or stollen.

I have been going to Dr. Melvin Kum since the age of 10! From my tooth being chipped, to all my cavities being filled, Dr. Kum’s master work takes the credit. He is so friendly, very gentle in his work, and makes his patient, me, feel quite comfortable. My Dental Hygienist is just as pleasing. I have never had a problem scheduling an appointment or rescheduling an appointment. The office is clean and welcoming, and I’m always greeted with a smile from staff at the front desk. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kum’s for over 20 years. He’s my favorite doctor!
