Dr. Jane Kim is a board-certified periodontist at Prospect Dental in Arlington Heights, Illinois, with 18 years of clinical experience focused exclusively on surgical periodontal therapy. She holds a Diplomate designation from the American Board of Periodontology, a voluntarily pursued board certification that reflects a higher standard of verified clinical competency, and serves as a clinical assistant professor at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, where she contributes to training the next generation of dental specialists. Dr. Kim completed a three-year specialty residency in periodontics and earned a Master of Science in Oral Sciences at the University of Illinois, grounding her surgical practice in both technique and research.

This focused scope means every case she takes on falls squarely within her deepest area of training. She works in close partnership with restorative dentists to deliver care aligned with each patient's complete dental health goals.
