Calvin Kim, DDS

Dr. Kim is a 2000 graduate of Loma Linda University. He considers it a great privilege to provide quality dental care to the residents of Thurston County! Alongside his fantastic staff, he is devoted to providing the kindest and most gentle dental care to his patients.

One of his passions is helping patients overcome their dental anxiety! Key components to accomplishing this are:

  • Making certain that the patient feels they are totally in control at all times.
  • Ensuring that everything is explained to the patient, eliminating any surprises.
  • Striving to make all treatment as painless as possible.

Dr. Kim has been married to his one and only love, Amy, for over 20 years. Together they have two beautiful teenage girls, Charis and Caia. Their family has two dogs: Tamarind, a King Charles Cavalier, and Boston, a Yorkshire Terrier.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Kim has many passions! He is the co-founder of two non-profit organizations: ARME Bible Camp and F5 Challenge. He loves all things outdoors, including rock climbing, running, snowboarding and mountain biking. One of his most fun accomplishments was qualifying and running the Boston Marathon. He is also a two-time IRONMAN finisher. Along with having a very active role in his church, he has taken over a dozen mission trips all over the world. His favorite was a mission trip into North Korea!
