Dr. David M. Kim received his dental degree (DDS) from the University of Maryland Dental School and completed his periodontology training and Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) in oral biology from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM).

He is an Associate Professor at HSDM and served as the postdoctoral director in periodontology for 11 years and the director of continuing education for 12 years. He is a past recipient of both Distinguished Junior and Senior Faculty Awards from HSDM.

In addition, he received many awards and research grants from different national and international dental societies.

Dr. Kim’s clinical and research interests have been in using innovative concepts, technologies, and biomaterials to enhance intraoral soft and hard tissue formation, especially by incorporating the tissue engineering concept to repair and regenerate soft and hard tissue volume for patients requiring dental implants to replace missing teeth.
