About This Provider
Dr. Jiyoung Kim is a prosthodontist and founder of Jiyoung Kim DDS Dental Implants & Family Dentists Encinitas, where she has provided specialty dental care since 2005. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California in 1996 and completed three years of specialty prosthodontics training at UCLA in 2001. Before dental school, Dr. Kim studied art in South Korea, a background that shapes how she approaches every smile design today. She holds a Diplomate certification from the American Board of Orofacial Pain and maintains active membership in the American College of Prosthodontics and Academy of Osseointegration. What sets Dr. Kim apart is her commitment to care beyond the procedure. While many implant centers perform surgery and send patients home, Dr. Kim personally conducts follow-up maintenance appointments, monitors implant health, and works to prevent complications such as peri-implantitis. She reviews every treatment plan carefully with each patient, explaining pros, cons, and realistic expectations, because she believes no two patients share the same goals or the same needs. She also welcomes patients left behind by implant centers that provided no aftercare.
