Dr. Hye Soo Emiliana Kim, DDS
Dentist
I’m Dr. Hye Soo Emiliana Kim, a prosthodontist with a focus on complex dental
and facial rehabilitation. Whether it’s cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, crowns,
bridges, or dentures, I’m dedicated to helping patients achieve healthy, confident
smiles.
I completed my DDS at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and
went on to finish a three-year residency in Prosthodontics at NYU College of
Dentistry, where I also earned a Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies.
Providing high-quality, patient-centered care is at the heart of what I do. I strive to
combine compassion with careful attention to detail in every treatment plan.
Throughout my career, I’ve also enjoyed teaching — first as a clinical instructor
during residency and later as an Adjunct Clinical Professor at NYU until 2021.
Outside of dentistry, I love drawing, reading, singing, and traveling whenever I
can. I believe a balanced life makes for a better doctor, and I’m always excited to
bring that perspective to the care of my patients.
I have a mouth full of dental work and sensitive teeth, and I'm always a bit terrified of cleanings and check ups. I had my first appointment at Leaf Dental today, and I saw Linda, Sherry and Dr. Rafiq - it was a fantastic experience, start to finish.
The space is calm and welcoming, and the team that worked on me was very understanding of my nerves, careful and gentle. Plus, completely effective. Stains on old dental work are gone, and they even replaced a lost composite filling within my appointment time.
It is a massive relief to have a new dental practice that I know will take such great care of me.
