They do. Our CEREC crowns are made from high-quality, long-lasting ceramic. With good brushing, flossing, and regular checkups, your crown can last 10+ years.

Yes. We carefully match the shade, shape, and size to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Most people won’t even notice it’s a crown.

You can expect your visit to last about 90 minutes to two hours. That includes digital imaging, crown design, milling, and final placement—all in one day.

Traditional crowns usually require two visits and a temporary crown. At Dia Dental Studio, we create and place your permanent crown in one appointment using digital scans and in-office milling. It’s faster, more comfortable, and just as durable.

A same-day crown is a custom-made cap that restores a damaged or decayed tooth in just one visit. Using CEREC technology, we scan, design, and place your crown on the same day—no temporary, no follow-up.

Dr. Kim offers clear, tech-guided Invisalign treatment with digital scans—no goopy impressions. We provide flexible payment options, multilingual care in English, Spanish, and Korean, and the one-on-one attention you deserve.

After your last set of aligners, you’ll switch to a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Dr. Kim will walk you through the next steps and make sure your results last.

No. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This keeps them clean and prevents staining or damage.

You may notice a slight lisp during the first few days, but most patients adjust quickly. Since Invisalign aligners are thin and snug-fitting, speech returns to normal in no time.

Many PPO insurance plans offer partial coverage for Invisalign. We’ll check your benefits, handle claims, and help you maximize coverage.

For best results, wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day—only removing them to eat, drink (anything other than water), and brush. Staying consistent keeps your treatment on track.

Cost varies depending on your treatment plan. We’ll give you a clear estimate before getting started. We accept most PPO insurance plans and offer flexible financing through CareCredit, HFD, and our in-house options.

Most Invisalign treatments take between 6 to 18 months, depending on your goals and the complexity of your case. Dr. Kim uses digital scanning and treatment planning to map out every step from start to finish.

Invisalign is great for teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or bite issues. If you’re looking for a more discreet alternative to braces, Dr. Kim can evaluate your smile and see if Invisalign is the right fit.

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently straighten your teeth over time. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your smile and moves your teeth little by little—without brackets or wires.

We offer full-service implant care under one roof—no referrals, no surprises. With 3D-guided planning, modern surgical tools, and a patient-first mindset, you’ll receive predictable results and long-term support from a dentist who speaks your language (English, Spanish, and Korean).

Most patients say getting an implant feels easier than a tooth extraction. We use gentle anesthesia, clear timelines, and calming comforts like music, blankets, and sedation if needed. Dr. Kim also follows up after your procedure to make sure you’re healing well.

Cost depends on the type of implant and restoration. We’ll provide a clear estimate and treatment plan before starting. We accept most major PPOs and offer financing options like CareCredit, HFD, and in-house monthly plans.

If you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums, you may be a good candidate. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, options like bone grafting or sinus lifts can help prepare your jaw for implants. Dr. Kim will evaluate your needs during a personalized consultation.

Snap-in dentures are a secure, implant-retained alternative to traditional dentures. They “snap” into place using a few dental implants, offering better stability, improved chewing, and a more natural feel—no adhesive needed.

At our Haltom City office, we provide full-scope implant dentistry, including single dental implants, implant-supported snap-in dentures, bone grafting, ridge preservation, and sinus lifts. All procedures are handled in one location, so you won’t need outside referrals or multiple offices.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top. The result looks and functions like a natural tooth—stable, strong, and long-lasting.

Dr. Yohan Kim combines advanced technology with an artistic eye to design veneers that look natural and feel comfortable. You’ll receive one-on-one attention, clear communication in English, Spanish, or Korean, and results tailored to your unique smile—all from a local practice in Haltom City near Hmart and Texas Roadhouse.

The cost of veneers depends on how many teeth you’re treating and your specific cosmetic goals. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate and walk you through your payment options. We offer flexible financing and in-house plans to make care more accessible.

Since veneers are considered a cosmetic treatment, they are typically not covered by dental insurance. However, we’ll still review your plan and help you explore financing options to make your treatment more affordable.

Yes. Dr. Kim carefully designs each veneer to match your smile’s natural shape and shade. We use high-quality materials and digital imaging to ensure your veneers blend seamlessly with your other teeth and look completely natural.

Veneers are a long-term solution, but they may need replacement after 10 to 15 years depending on wear and care. With proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, they can last even longer and continue looking their best.

No. Veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed for proper fit and bonding, but the process is safe and minimally invasive. Dr. Kim uses conservative techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

In most cases, the process takes two visits. During the first visit, Dr. Kim will prepare your teeth, take digital scans, and help you choose the right shade. Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom ones are being crafted. At the second visit, your permanent veneers are bonded in place, and your new smile is complete.

Porcelain veneers are known for their durability, natural appearance, and resistance to staining. They reflect light like real enamel and typically last longer than composite alternatives. At Dia Dental Studio, we offer high-quality porcelain veneers to ensure lasting results and a beautiful finish that blends with your natural teeth.

You may be a good candidate for veneers if you have healthy teeth and gums but want to improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers work well for people with discoloration, small gaps, worn edges, or minor alignment issues. Dr. Kim will examine your teeth and discuss your goals to help you decide if veneers are the right option for you.

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or ceramic that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can improve the color, shape, and overall appearance of your smile by covering chipped, stained, uneven, or slightly misaligned teeth. Veneers are a popular cosmetic solution for patients looking for a dramatic but natural-looking transformation.

We offer advanced whitening systems in a relaxing, judgment-free environment with Netflix, music, and gentle care throughout your visit. Located near Hmart and Texas Roadhouse, we’re proud to serve patients from Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Fort Worth, and nearby communities.

Teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic service and is not usually covered by dental insurance. However, we offer affordable pricing and flexible payment options to make treatment accessible.

With good oral hygiene and minimal exposure to staining foods or drinks, results can last up to a year or more. Regular cleanings and touch-up treatments can help extend your whitening results over time.

Results vary depending on your starting shade and the cause of the discoloration. Most patients can expect their smile to brighten by several shades. Dr. Kim will review your goals and let you know what kind of result you can expect during your consultation.

Whitening treatments don’t change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have visible restorations, Dr. Kim will review your options and help create a plan that keeps your smile looking balanced and natural.

Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, but it usually fades within a day or two. We use desensitizing gels and offer aftercare tips to help keep you comfortable.

Yes. Professional whitening is safe for your teeth when performed by a licensed dentist. We protect your gums and enamel during the procedure, and we choose the right strength of whitening gel to suit your needs and sensitivity level.

Most whitening treatments take about 60 to 90 minutes from start to finish. You’ll see a noticeable improvement in the brightness of your teeth before you leave the office.

Over-the-counter whitening kits may provide some surface-level results, but they often take longer, offer uneven whitening, and may cause more sensitivity. Our in-office treatments use stronger, dentist-supervised formulas that deliver more predictable and longer-lasting results, safely and comfortably.

Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile by removing deep stains and discoloration.

Our team uses gentle techniques, local anesthesia, and comfort-focused amenities to help ease your discomfort during treatment. We also offer sedation options if needed. Most patients feel relief by the end of the appointment, and Dr. Kim will follow up to make sure you’re healing well.
