Four Peaks Dental owner and principal dentist Dr. Kenny Kim graduated with an honours degree from the University of Otago. Upon graduating he began working in Timaru and Geraldine in private practice and now works full time in Geraldine.

Dr. Kenny has the belief that all communities, no matter how small, should have access to all treatments available in dentistry. Therefore, he has developed advanced skills in all aspects of dentistry particularly in the fields of dental implants, Orthodontics (braces) and cosmetics. He continues to expand on treatments he is able to provide to the community by attending numerous internationally recognised postgraduate training.

I am thrilled to be a part of the team at Four Peaks Dental after prior working in Whanganui, Levin, and Ashburton. I graduated from the University of Otago in 2016 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery.

I believe that the first and most important part of dental care is the dentist-patient relationship. As such, I enjoy taking the time to get to know my patients in order to provide the best personalised dental care for them. I am incredibly passionate about dentistry and in providing a gentle, comfortable experience for everyone. The most rewarding part about being a dentist is helping improve the quality of life for my patients through their oral health care, education, and treatment.

I keep up to date with the latest in dental research, technologies, and techniques by attending courses both domestically, internationally, and online. I have a wide variety of interests in dentistry with especial attention to the restorative, periodontal, and oral surgery fields. I am currently widening my knowledge in the field of orthodontics and am receiving coaching to advance my communication skills.

I may be more widely known as “Kenny’s wife” but I am also “Momo’s meowm”. Momo is a lovely seal bicolour ragdoll we acquired in January 2022; She is my whole world and makes it very hard to get anything done by being so entertaining. If you request it, I can show you photos of her! In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, exploring with my cat in her special backpack, reading the latest books and research, tending to my plants, and travelling.

I love coffee and in my free time you will often see me at a local cafe. Outside of work I enjoy painting, paper mache, bridge, and spending time with my fiance and cat, Pud.
