Your First Visit to Burlingame Dental

Your visit begins before you even arrive. You can complete your medical and dental forms online at home, which saves time and helps us learn about your unique needs and concerns ahead of your appointment.

When you get here, we start by listening. Dr. Kim will review your health history and talk with you about your goals for your smile. From there, she will perform a gentle exam of your teeth, gums, and mouth, including an oral cancer screening and TMJ evaluation. We use modern technology like digital X-rays and our Itero 3D scanner to get a complete picture of your oral health quickly and comfortably. If time allows and you are ready, we can often complete a cleaning the same day.

What to Expect

Our office is designed with your comfort in mind. Each treatment room is private and quiet, free from the noise and activity of a busy waiting room. We keep things calm and predictable because we know a peaceful environment helps reduce stress and anxiety.

You will never feel like just another name on a schedule. Dr. Kim and our team take the time to explain every step of your care and answer your questions.
