The history of Dr. Kim's professional journey is marked by relentless dedication to excellence. After completing his intensive training at Harvard, where he focused on surgical and restorative protocols for tooth- and implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitations, he advanced to become a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at New York University College of Dentistry. There, he serves as Editor and co-leader for NYU's Implant Restorative and Robotics Surgical programs, Course Director for Post-Graduate Fixed Prosthodontics, and originator of the Dean’s Research Fund Grant '24 project on 'Auto-Distribution of Implant Fixtures,' for which he holds a patent as Principal Investigator. This academic prowess seamlessly integrates with his clinical practice at Wall Street Oral Surgery, where he applies cutting-edge innovations like robotics-assisted surgery and advanced implant technologies to deliver outcomes that exceed patient expectations.[3][4]
At its core, the mission of Wall Street Oral Surgery is to elevate patient quality of life through comprehensive oral rehabilitation that harmonizes esthetics, occlusion, and function. Dr. Kim's unique value proposition lies in his dual surgical-reconstructive proficiency—a rarity among prosthodontists—allowing him to execute both surgical placements and final restorations in a streamlined, efficient manner. Patients benefit from 'one-stop' complex treatments, minimizing referrals, appointments, and recovery time. His practice emphasizes personalized care, drawing on an 'exceptional eye for detail, gifted hands, and clinical skills' as praised by peers like Dr. Todd R. Schoenbaum of UCLA and Justin J. McElroy of Midwest Dental Arts. Endorsements highlight his passion, humility, and ability to manage intricate cases, such as full-mouth reconstructions and 'teeth in a day' procedures, with outcomes that transform smiles and lives.[1]

As a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists, Diplomate of the Academy of Osseointegration, Associate Member of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, and Inducted Member of the Academy of Distinguished Educators, he remains at the forefront of the field. His editorial roles—reviewer for the Journal of Prosthodontics, BMC Oral Health, and Scientific Reports (Nature), and Executive Guest Editor for Dentistry Review's special issue on Surgical Prosthodontics—ensure his treatments reflect the latest evidence-based advancements. Colleagues like Dr. Jae Y. Jang and Dr. Stephanie Park commend his patient-centered approach, noting how his background enables complex treatments in single sittings, fostering trust and superior results.[1][4]
