About

Welcome letter from the team Even though our patients don’t spend a lot of time thinking about them, WE DO! Teeth are important to almost everything that we do. We use them to eat when dining out with friends, to smile when we greet the world, and even to grit together when we are stressed out. Strong beautiful teeth make us feel confident, and oral health plays a vital role in our overall wellness. Unfortunately, teeth aren’t like fingernails or hair. We only get one real set that has to last us a lifetime. What always comes first in our office is our patients. We have created a culture in our office that strives to create an experience that is both positive and educational. With technology embedded in our day to day procedures, we strive to better educate you and guide you in planning for your teeth in a comfortable and relaxed setting. With better planning and communication dentistry today can be painless, effective and efficient. We believe that the best way to avoid anxiety and discomfort during a dental procedure is to make sure that patients are well-informed and well-educated on every step of their procedure and that they’re empowered to make their own decisions regarding their dental health. Each member of the staff regularly participates in continuing education to ensure they’re up to date on all the latest technology and techniques, so that their patients get the most effective, least-invasive possible treatments. At Zen Dentistry, you can find a solution to any dental problem, whether you need a restorative treatment like a filling, crown placement, or dental implant surgery, or you just need to start your child out on the right path to good dental health with a cleaning from one of the staff’s pediatric dentists. By design, Zen Dentistry has a spa-like atmosphere, where customer service is the number one priority. Now with practices in New York City and four locations in Southern California, we have made it easier than ever for you to access the warm and friendly care your smile deserves.

Sandra B. Checkmark Verified Patient

I came in here with fear in my heart. Dr Kim Minho is phenomenal. She know what she is doing. Her technique flawless. I was still waiting for her to give me the pain injection in the mouth and it was already done. She has excellent bedside manners and explained everything she was before, during and after. We came up with a a treatment plan that I’m excited to start. No BS or frills here she provides the best suggestion for the best outcome when it comes to oral health. Can you believe I went from Im never going to the dentist or would be afraid to I can’t wait for next visit. If you’re serious about oral care or anything possible cosmetic run to her. What are you waiting for get up contact her office and get there.

My appointment was quick and efficient! Each dentist appointment even comes with a free teeth whitening session which was great. Prices are a bit high compared to other practices but I think it was worth it since I felt relaxed and knew I was in good hands. Highly recommend their office and services to others.
