About Me
Dr. Jiyoung Kim has always had a deep appreciation for art and creativity, starting with art school in South Korea before moving to the United States. After taking time to focus on raising her family, Dr. Kim established her private practice, Jiyoung Kim DDS Dental Implants & Family Dentists Encinitas, in 2005. With a background that blends artistic sensitivity and advanced clinical training, she brings a thoughtful, individualized approach to patient care. Dr. Kim enjoys working with patients who have complex dental needs, offering a range of treatment options – from simple fillings to full-mouth rehabilitation with dental implants. She takes the time to understand each patient’s unique goals, review each plan carefully, explaining the pros, cons, and realistic expectations, because she believes there is no one-size-fits-all solution in dentistry.
