Pure Dental: Dr Daniel Kang

Have been a patient at Pure Dental for years. Dr Kang has been great and his staff always friendly. I appreciate the reminders before upcoming appointments. When in the chair, they help me understand the issues I have and what preventative measures I can take to avoid costly mistakes (chewing on ice for example). I now take my son here. He was nervous at first but the staff made him feel safe and was patient with him. He now doesn’t mind coming to watch videos in the chair while they clean. He loves to see Dr Kang, Alex and Eliza.

The dentist did a root canal and i have since lost the entire tooth. The crown was not properly put in and there was no foundation to hold the crown. He had also spontaneously wanted to complete a second root canal at the same time and said since i was already numb it would be best to do the second. I have had that tooth re-crowned twice in the years after he did his horrible work on my teeth. That tooth now also has to be taken out. I am convinced that Dr. Kang mislead me and also does not possess the skills nor the ethics to be practicing dentistry. He also tried to use God as a guilt trip to convince me he should do the work he did. He is cunning, manipulates people and takes advantage- he did me.

Three weeks ago was the first time that I have been to Dr. Kang’s office for dental care. He examined my teeth and thoroughly explained what needed to be done. Dr. Kang was a very enthusiastic and friendly dentist that made me feel comfortable. I had 1 extraction, 2 fillings and 1 crown done. He was gentle and patient when he was working on my teeth. I had a great experience and I am happy with my new teeth. Before coming to Dr. Kang’s office, I was nervous to tryout a new dentist. But now he is our family’s dentist. I also recommended a couple of my friends to Dr. Kang and they were pleased with his excellent work. I highly recommend Dr. Kang.

I have known Dr. Daniel and had him as my dentist ever since I was about 5 years old and I can definitely say that he is one of the best around. He is so kind and is truly family to us. I remember when me and my brother were young, he even gave us Christmas gifts. He is always is looking out for his patients and thinks ahead of what will be the best for you. He motivates me to take better care of myself and the health of my teeth.

This practice took advantage of me and was extremely unprofessional. They did 2 root canals and crowns. The first time he had to redo them because they weren’t right. Well after, I had pressure and pain when my tongue rested on them. I thought that was just the consequence of having crowns. However, I went to a new dentist and he said they were done wrong. I went to a specialist he recommended and he said the reason why they were painful is they were short filled. I had to pay for another 2 root canals and crowns because of a dentist who had no business doing this work and took no responsibility for his misconduct. I’m not alone in his deceptive practices after reading all of these reviews.

I have been a patient of Dr. Daniel Kang's for approximately eight (8) years. He and his staff are always courteous and punctual. (Even when I arrive half an hour early with the intention of enjoying the magazines in the waiting room, they foil my plans and see me early!) Dr. Kang always explains my dental care and costs in a clear and concise manner. When I first began seeing him, I had a full time job with medical and dental benefits; when I left that job to become a starving student without dental insurance, Dr. Kang continued to offer me affordable dental care while I finished my doctorate. Several months ago, I had a dental emergency and Dr. Kang saw me immediately (same day). I had knocked my tooth out but Dr. Kang made what should have been a horrible experience somehow completely comfortable for me, and the process of getting a dental implant very easy and affordable. The implant feels awesome and completely natural. My smile looks better than before, as the tooth in question had been slightly crooked and Dr. Kang corrected this with the implant. I have received compliments from friends and family who got to see the "before and after" effects both in person and in pictures. I am so impressed with Dr. Kang's bedside (chairside?) manner and his work. I refer all my friends to him and will continue to do so.

Very wonderful first visit - I was told I needed a limited amount of work and made another appointment and then once I was in the chair in December I had my $1500 benefit used and ended up with two temporary crowns (that a previous dentist had already put a perm. crown on the year before). After the appointment I had severe pain - he couldn't see me so I had to go to another doctor - I had to have a root canal and when I went back, he told me he had to do additional "procedures" to be able to put the new crowns on since I had gone to another doctor. $1800 later - he told me I still needed thousands of work done -I told him to do the minimum - I had NO money (traveling to take care of my terminally ill mother has wiped me out). I said I had $20 in my purse until payday. They said they would take that. I also got severely sick after my visit - I took a photo of the tools that were used in my mouth - they were placed on a chair (see photo). His practice is the definition of "bait and switch".
