More Than a Single Dentist Office

Dr. Raymond KimOur practice continues to grow, with referrals from our already great patients! We have more patients than a single dentist can handle. So Dr. Kim joined our practice family as a clinical partner and restoration specialist.

Dr. Raymond Kim attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for both his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees.  He is very passionate about developing strong relationships with the surrounding community as he believes that communication and education are paramount in developing the foundation for good oral and systemic health.  He would love to listen and answer any questions and concerns one may have about their oral health—don’t feel shy to ask!  While oral health education is important for the patient, he also believes it is the dentist’s duty to stay up to date with continuing education and to provide the most thorough and most technologically advanced treatment options available today.
Dr. Raymond Kim is passionate about all aspects of dentistry, and is excited to meet and work with members of this practice and community.  He would love to make your acquaintance!  Stop on in at anytime and say hello to the newest associate at Great Lakes Dentistry.

A Little Bit About Great Lakes Dentistry – Royal Oak

I acquired Great Lakes Dentistry in 2007 from the office of Dr. Larry Strugala in Clawson, MI, just up the road. At the time, we were renting the space and our current location became available. We moved to Royal Oak, Michigan in 2009 to better serve our surrounding communities of Royal Oak, Clawson, Troy, Berkeley, Madison Heights, and Beverly Hills, MI.

Our goal is to provide all the services you need for maintaining great oral health all under one roof. We will make sure all your needs are met and you receive the best dental care available today, in a comfortable, compassionate, and caring environment.

High Tech | Soft Touch | Classic Service

That’s our mantra at Great Lakes Dentistry in Royal Oak, MI. My aim is to deliver the latest and greatest technology, in a warm, comfortable, and inviting environment, with classic customer service you’ve grown to love yet seems absent in our frenzied lives. We go out of our way to make sure you have a great experience at Great Lakes Dentistry. We want to be your Royal Oak dentist.

It’s my philosophy that the best patients are the best educated patients. So we spend a lot of time explaining our procedures and treatment recommendations. You won’t get any high pressure sales in our office, you’re ALWAYS in the driver’s seat. Of course, we’ll educate you and show you how dental implants, teeth whitening, Invisalign or Six Month Smiles braces, or a same-day Cerec crown will improve your smile, but the decision is always yours.

We strive to provide the latest dental technology to ensure you have a comfortable visit. Just a few examples of our high tech offerings include:

  • All digital x-rays: 1/3 the radiation dosage of traditional film x-rays- even digital panoramic x-rays that go around your head.
  • Cerec Omnicam: all porcelain crowns are made right in the office, in only an hour! 3D CAD/CAM computer aided dentistry at its finest! No more temporary crowns, no second appointment, and no goopy impressions!
  • Intraoral cameras: instantly see on the big screen what’s going on in your mouth. Instant pictures so you see what we see
  • Laser Dentistry: Get your teeth cleaned with a laser and remove BILLIONS of bacteria. And no more cutting or sutures!
  • Metal-free: We only use modern tooth colored composite fillings. We never place metal mercury amalgam fillings.
