About Us Page

Our Story

My Bloomingdale Dentist represents the vision of Dr. Henry Kim, DMD—a practice where clinical excellence and compassionate care create extraordinary dental experiences.

Dr. Kim established the practice with a clear mission: to elevate the standard of dental care in Bloomingdale by combining advanced techniques with a deeply personalized approach. Instead of treating patients as cases, we see each person who walks through our doors as an individual with unique needs, concerns, and goals.

Meet Dr. Henry Kim, DMD

Dr. Kim's journey in dentistry began well before dental school, as he worked in the dental implant industry, gaining valuable technical insights that would later inform his clinical approach. His passion for improving patients' lives through dentistry led him to pursue formal education, graduating with honors from Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine in 2018.

Dr. Kim's dedication to continuous learning is evident in his extensive post-graduate training, including completing over 125 hours of specialized implant education recognized by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. His expertise spans both surgical and restorative aspects of dentistry, allowing him to provide comprehensive care with exceptional results.

Beyond technical skill, Dr. Kim is known for his gentle chairside manner and ability to put even the most anxious patients at ease. He takes the time to thoroughly explain treatment options, ensuring patients feel informed and confident in their care decisions.

When not transforming smiles, Dr. Kim enjoys exploring new places, discovering diverse cuisines, staying active through basketball and golf, and finding peace on nature trails.

Our Philosophy

At My Bloomingdale Dentist, we operate by a set of core principles that guide every interaction and treatment:

1. Prevention First — We believe the best dental treatment is preventing problems before they start
2. Conservative Approach — When treatment is necessary, we preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible
3. Comprehensive Solutions — Addressing not just symptoms but underlying causes for lasting health
4. Patient Education — Empowering you with knowledge to make informed decisions about your oral health
5. Relationship-Based Care — Building long-term partnerships focused on your lifelong dental wellness

Our Team

Behind every great dental experience is a team of dedicated professionals who share a passion for exceptional patient care. Our staff members are selected not just for their technical skills but for their genuine compassion and ability to make patients feel at home.

From our front desk coordinators who greet you by name to our skilled dental assistants who ensure your comfort throughout treatment, every team member plays a vital role in creating the Bloomingdale Dental Center experience.

Preventive Dentistry

The Foundation of Lifetime Oral Health

At My Bloomingdale Dentist, we believe that preventing dental problems is always preferable to treating them. Our comprehensive preventive services are designed to maintain your oral health, detect potential issues early, and save you time, discomfort, and expense in the long run.

Our Preventive Services Include:

• Comprehensive Dental Exams — Thorough assessment of your entire oral cavity, including teeth, gums, bite alignment, jaw function, and oral cancer screening
• Professional Cleanings — Removal of plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be addressed through home care alone
• Digital X-rays — Low-radiation imaging that provides clear views of areas not visible during visual examination
• Oral Cancer Screenings — Advanced technology to detect oral abnormalities in their earliest, most treatable stages
• Fluoride Treatments — Strengthening enamel to increase resistance to decay
• Dental Sealants — Protective coating for deep grooves in molars to prevent cavity formation
• Custom Mouthguards — Protection for athletes and those with nighttime grinding habits
• Patient Education — Personalized guidance on optimal home care techniques

The My Bloomingdale Dentist Difference:

Unlike practices that rush through preventive appointments, we dedicate ample time to thoroughly clean and examine your teeth while getting to know you as a person. This relationship-based approach allows us to provide truly personalized preventive strategies based on your specific risk factors, habits, and health goals.

Recommended Care Schedule:

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings and exams every six months. However, we may recommend more frequent visits for those with:

• History of periodontal disease
• Rapid tartar buildup
• Certain medical conditions like diabetes
• Ongoing orthodontic treatment

Your Role in Prevention:

Even the most thorough professional care cannot replace excellent home habits. We'll partner with you to develop an effective daily routine including:

• Proper brushing techniques
• Effective flossing methods
• Appropriate oral care products for your specific needs
• Dietary recommendations to support oral health

Dental Implants

The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement

Losing a tooth affects more than just your smile's appearance—it impacts your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain facial structure. At My Bloomingdale Dentist, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions that provide the closest possible alternative to natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are biocompatible titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace tooth roots. They provide a permanent foundation for securing replacement teeth, whether a single crown, multi-tooth bridge, or full-arch restoration.

The My Bloomingdale Dentist Implant Advantage:

With extensive specialized training in implantology, Dr. Kim offers comprehensive implant services in one location. From initial consultation through surgical placement and final restoration, you'll experience seamless care without being referred to multiple specialists.

Our Implant Solutions Include:

• Single Tooth Implants — Complete replacement of individual missing teeth with a natural-looking crown anchored by an implant
• Implant-Supported Bridges — Multiple-tooth replacement without compromising adjacent healthy teeth
• Implant-Retained Dentures — Secure full-arch solutions that eliminate the slipping and discomfort of traditional dentures
• All-on-4® Treatment Concept — Full-arch restoration with just four strategically placed implants, often possible even with bone loss
• Mini Implants — Smaller-diameter options for patients with insufficient bone mass or as a more affordable alternative
• Bone Grafting — Procedures to build up jaw structure when necessary for successful implant placement

The Implant Process at My Bloomingdale Dentist:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation — Advanced 3D imaging to assess bone quality, quantity, and optimal implant positioning
2. Personalized Treatment Planning — Detailed roadmap addressing your specific conditions and goals
3. Implant Placement — Precise surgical positioning using computer-guided techniques for optimal results
4. Healing Period — Time for osseointegration (bone fusing to implant), typically 3-6 months
5. Restoration Placement — Attachment of your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture
6. Ongoing Maintenance — Regular care to ensure long-term implant success

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants:

• Preservation of Jawbone — Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants stimulate bone tissue, preventing deterioration
• Protection of Adjacent Teeth — No need to alter healthy teeth as with traditional bridges
• Superior Stability — Eat, speak, and smile with confidence, free from concerns about movement
• Exceptional Longevity — With proper care, implants can last a lifetime
• Natural Aesthetics — Custom-designed restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth

Are Implants Right for You?

Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, Dr. Kim will thoroughly evaluate factors including:

• Bone density and volume
• Gum health
• Medical history
• Lifestyle factors
• Budget considerations
