Dr. Bryan Kim earned his D.D.S. from UCLA School of Dentistry in 2014 and completed a two-year orofacial pain residency at UCLA in 2016. He holds active board certification as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain (ABOP), certification number ABOP1441. ABOP Diplomate status is the highest credential available in the orofacial pain specialty. It requires completing an accredited residency and passing written and oral board examinations, setting certified diplomates apart from general dentists and even from dentists who treat jaw pain without formal specialty training. Orofacial pain is a narrow specialty focused on chronic pain conditions of the head, face, jaw joints, and related structures. These conditions are frequently misdiagnosed or undertreated because most dental providers do not train specifically in pain science and joint pathology. Dr. Kim serves patients in Newport Beach and throughout Orange County who need specialist-level evaluation for jaw pain, facial pain, TMJ disorders, or headaches connected to dental and musculoskeletal causes. His UCLA training and ABOP board certification place him among a select group of clinicians in Southern California with the credentials to diagnose and manage these complex cases.
