Christopher J. Kim, DDS, Inc

Ok. I’ve got my crown and filling done but the surprise was I had a consultation with Dr. Kim and my teeth work was done by Dr. Jason Lee.
I thought Dr. Kim was the best until I met Dr. Lee.
Man, these guys are good. I highly recommend this dentist office to other people. I certainly won’t forget the warm greeting by the receptionist. Her name is Sora. I will come back for my next check up.
The only bad thing for me is I have to drive at least an hour or more to come here but it’s worth it.

Dr. Kim and his staffs are really generous and willing to put extra effort for the patient. I have been with a few dentists around this area and I love this place the most.

Dr. Kim’s office offers great prices and good service. My parents and I had to get some work done and I was recommended by a friend to go here. They were very nice and the prices were great! I’ve had many dentist visits due to my sweet tooth and am glad I found a dentist I can trust. My other dentist had me visiting his office every month, just for a root canal — he kept putting it off. My time and money was wasted because it took over a year to fix! Here, Dr. Kim, knows what he’s doing, doesn’t waste anyone’s time, and gets the job done in one or two visits. His office is clean and well kept, with state of the art technology. His staff members are very friendly and professional.

It’s been a while since my last dental visit because let’s admit… no one likes going to the dentist (no offense to all the dentists out there). I’ve been having some sensitivity on some teeth so when I saw this office’s pretty orange building across the street from whole foods, I took it as a sign from the tooth gods that it was time to get checked out. Plus it was about time I made use of my company’s insurance plan!
Gave them a call last week and they were able to squeeze me in for an appointment today for a routine checkup.
Now, I don’t know about everyone else out there… but I’m used to dental offices that look like… well…dental offices. I walk through the front door and have to double check with the front desk because it felt like I just walked into some kind of spa or something. The waiting room was super spacious and had a very homey feel to it.
I’m walked in by one of the workers (I think her name was Nancy), who also takes some xrays for me. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to see the images pop up right in front of me on the computer screen as she snapped the pictures (the last dentist I went to had to develop the images… and even then I wasn’t really given the chance to look at them). Is it just me… or do xrays of teeth look like toes…
My exam was done by Dr. Kim, who I believe is the owner of the practice. He did a very thorough exam of my mouth and spent the next 30 – 45 min or so explaining all of his findings and recommendations. Looking back, that seems like a very long time to be sitting in a dentists chair just… talking…but the time flew by because everything he had to say was actually very interesting and I learned things about my teeth and gums that none of the my previous dentists bothered to tell me about. I feel like I can be a dentist after everything I learned today!
Dr. Kim finds 2 small cavities that need to be filled (don’t judge me) and recommends a cleaning at the same appointment. We walk out to schedule my next appointment and find out that one of the other dentists there just got an opening in his schedule… which worked out perfectly because I had the rest of today free!
I meet the other dentist there, Dr. Lee, who starts by explaining to me what he plans on completing today and what to expect. This is the moment I remember why I hate going to the dentist… THE NUMBING SHOTS! I guess the doc noticed my anxiety because he starts reassuring me that the shot is not going to be as bad as I imagine. I was a bit skeptical at first but he was right… I BARELY felt the needle! I think he used some kind of gel on the skin before putting the needle in (be sure to ask for this if you dislike needles like me!) The numbing must have worked because I didn’t feel ANY pain during the fillings.
For the cleaning, I expected another person to walk in and do it but I guess this office does things a little differently. Dr. Lee ended up doing the cleaning as well for me. The cleaning was a bit longer than what I am used to (my cleanings used to literally be 15 – 20 minutes long) but man… this doc literally scraped every single tooth, polished them, and even threw in a free whitening. I’ve never had my mouth feel so… fresh and so… clean.
I ended up spending about 2 hours total here today. Again. looking back that seems like way too long for a dental appointment… but it was definitely time well spent cos I was able to get everything done in a single visit! Call me weird, but I can’t wait to see them again in 6 months!

Girlfriend dragged me to the dentist and now she’s dragging me into the Unilocal review game! (See below)
To start, I had no idea how my insurance worked. I’ve always been covered under my parents’ plan until recently, but my big boy job gives me insurance so I needed a little help understanding. The staff was able to contact my insurance and let me know what my coverage included. Big help!
Got a thorough exam and cleaning and left with pearly whites. Extra stars for a clean office, plenty of parking and magazines to keep me occupied while waiting for the gf… and a clean bathroom.

Came here for an invisalign consultation and was ready to get impressions.
After taking a full set of X-​rays… found out that I had multiple cavities that my previous dentist could not detect and from reviewing previous X-​rays it was there since 2011 and no one had told me so :(BUT Dr. Kim’s dentists were kind enough to do my fillings on the spot which saved me a copy of visits (+2 star)
The staff and dentists there were professional and weren’t there to sell their services, they only want the best for their patients and what they really needed (+1 star)
Very calm and elegant ambiance which is helpful for those who fear seeing the dentist (+1 star)
PARKING in the back (+1 star) since I’m from SF and we always have to pay for parking on the street

I have been seeing dentists with Dr. Kim’s office since retiring from the military and moving to California in 2008. Top-​notch service and results during every visit! The best service I have ever received from any dentist, anywhere! Very friendly staff; flexible appointments; always able to access care. Dr. Kim’s entire treatment team stays relevant with new equipment and emerging methods in dentistry. New location in Mountain View is fabulous. You absolutely can’t go wrong trusting your dental care needs to Dr. Kim!

The customer service here was amazing. I was greeted immediately and with a smile. The doctors were nice and very understanding. The office was neat and organized as well. The whole process was seamless and I had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend it.

My experience with this place is the best I ever had in terms of cleaning and fast service. The staff members were friendly and kind. I don’t have dental insurance but found this place to be affordable. Cleaning job was done with great deal of time and detail. I felt bad because it took so long to clean my teeth and dentist took extra time to do it right. I think my smoking habit didn’t help. I guess I should visit dentist more often or do better job of taking care of my mouth. I look forward to my next visit in 6 months. Thanks guys for great job. I also like the free tooth brush, paste, and floss. I guess they were trying to tell me something.

I have always been afraid of going to the dentist but it was time for a long overdue check-​up so I decided to make an appointment at Mountain View Dental. Despite it being far from where I am, it was highly recommended by some of my peers and friends. I’m embarrassed to admit I was pretty nervous since I knew I probably had tons of cavities. I pulled it together and walked in and was immediately greeted by friendly staff members. After taking some x-​rays I was seen by Dr. Kim for an exam. Dr. Kim was not only so pleasant but he was extremely meticulous when examining my teeth, which put me at ease knowing that I was in great hands. He gave me a detailed/​easy to understand explanation of the condition of my teeth and my treatment options. I also got a cleaning done following the exam by Dr. Lee who was very gentle and thorough. Overall, I would recommend Mountain View Dental to everyone. I had a wonderful experience at the dentist and will definitely be going back.

I had to remove 4 wisdom teeth because it gave me real bad pain. As I was laying down on the chair, the dentist was friendly and informative. Although I was very nervous, the dentist assured me that it wouldn’t hurt one bit. And guess what. It didn’t hurt one bit! As we pulled out all my teeth, I realized that we were done. The dentist kept assuring me that we’re all good and it was very reassuring. After, I asked for floss and they gave me more than i needed. I rate them ⁵⁄₅ would go again.
