Redefining Dental Care With Comfort And Fun



Niiidental Studio: Experience Relaxing, Personalized Dentistry Journey In Intimate Practice That Provides Complete Care

Ben Kim, D.D.S., a South Korean native who moved to Texas at the age of 13, says he's always dreamed of opening his own dental practice in the local area he calls home. Driven by a desire to contribute to society's well-being and a passion for using his hands to help others, Dr. Ben says he embarked on a journey in dentistry that led him to establish Niiidental Studio, as a place where patients can experience a friendly and welcoming dental environment.

After completing his undergraduate studies in biology at Emory University in Georgia, Dr. Ben attended dental school at Baylor College of Dentistry, now known as Texas A&M College of Dentistry, graduating with a D.D.S. degree in 2019. Following his education, he gained valuable experience working as an associate dentist for four years before making the decision to open his own practice.

“For many dentists, the trend is to graduate and study as an associate under someone. They go to work, see patients, get paid and call it a day. Every day is similar,” explains Dr. Ben. “I wanted the freedom and independence to challenge myself.” 

Dr. Ben's vision for Niiidental Studio is to eliminate the stigma associated with dental visits and create a comfortable, stress-free experience for patients. He states he wants to change the way dentists are viewed in society and believes that a visit to the dentist should be a positive and enjoyable experience. By providing a friendly atmosphere and eliminating anxiety and trauma, Dr. Ben says he strives to make every patient feel at ease and confident in his team's care.

“I want to help people and make them smile more. I want my patients to trust me,” says Dr. Ben. “I believe most situations and fear can be easily avoidable with communication and good explanations of the process.”

The range of services offered at Niiidental Studio is comprehensive, covering all aspects of general dentistry. From routine check-ups and cleanings to restorative procedures, such as dental fillings, crowns and implants, Dr. Ben says he ensures that each patient's unique needs are met with the utmost care and professionalism. Additionally, he specializes in cosmetic dentistry, offering treatments such as Invisalign, veneers and teeth whitening to help patients achieve their desired smiles.

What some patients believe sets Niiidental Studio apart from other dental practices is Dr. Ben's ability to create a culturally enriching experience for his patients. Proud of his heritage and passionate about sharing it with others, he infuses his practice with elements of his Korean background. Dr. Ben also embraces modern technology and social media to connect with patients and educate them about dental health through entertaining TikTok videos.

Located in the Eldorado Heights neighborhood of McKinney at 4150 Eldorado Parkway, Ste. 300, Niiidental Studio benefits from its proximity to a safe and family-oriented community. Dr. Ben says he chose this location to be respectful of his mentor, and to serve the local population, which has a favorable dentist-to-people ratio. With a focus on community involvement, Dr. Ben recently joined the McKinney Chamber of Commerce and plans to collaborate with local schools and daycares to educate children about the importance of good oral hygiene.

Efficiency is a top priority at Niiidental Studio. Dr. Ben says he understands that everyone's time is valuable, so most patients are seen within 10 minutes of arrival. The office is equipped with electronic systems, including iPads for easy sign-in, and patients receive all necessary forms prior to their appointment to save time.

To make dental care accessible to all, Niiidental Studio accepts most dental insurance providers, including Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans and Medicare. For those without insurance, the practice offers CareCredit as a financing option. Dr. Ben also provides affordable membership plans for both children and adults to ensure that dental care remains within reach for everyone.

As Niiidental Studio continues to grow, Dr. Ben says he remains committed to his core values of transparency, trust and providing the best possible care for his patients. With a dedication to staying up to date with the latest advancements in dentistry and a genuine passion for helping others, Dr. Ben’s clear goal is to revolutionize dental care in McKinney, one smile at a time.
