Dr. DJ Shin (DongJin Shin)
Prosthodontist
I’m Dr. Dongjin Shin, a prosthodontist specializing in implant, aesthetic, and reconstructive dentistry, proudly serving patients throughout the greater DMV area, including North Bethesda, Maryland, and Vienna, Virginia. My passion is to change lives through dentistry, restoring confidence, function, and natural beauty to every smile I treat.
I completed high school in Pennsylvania before attending Brandeis University in Boston, where I earned my degree in economics and biology. During my studies, I developed a deep appreciation for how dentistry harmonizes art and science. What began as curiosity quickly became a calling. A profession where creativity, precision, and compassion come together.
This realization inspired me to change my career path and pursue a master’s in medical sciences at Boston University, which led me to continue my journey into dental school at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, where I received my doctor of dental medicine (DMD) in 2014.
After practicing as a general dentist in the Boston area, my growing fascination with complex restorative and aesthetic dentistry led me to specialize in prosthodontics at Columbia University in New York, where I completed a three-year residency program in 2018.
Following several rewarding years practicing in New York City, my family and I relocated to the DMV area during the pandemic and founded our first dental practice in North Bethesda in 2022. Since then, our practice has expanded to two thriving locations with a team of five doctors, offering comprehensive care including prosthodontics, implant surgery, endodontics, oral surgery, and hygiene services.
Driven by innovation and precision, I founded Prodigi Dental Laboratory, a fully digital dental lab that collaborates with talented specialists and clinicians to create high-quality ceramic restorations and digital surgical guides. Our lab and practice share one unified goal: to elevate the standard of care through digital workflow integration, artistry, and clinical excellence.
Beyond clinical practice, I am passionate about education and mentorship. I lecture locally, nationally, and internationally, including at Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and international university settings, as well as at professional conferences around the world. My mission is not only to transform patients’ lives through dentistry but also to empower other clinicians to elevate their care through continuing education, collaboration, and innovation.
Dr. Ana Kim
Endodontist
Hi, I’m Dr. Ana Kim, a board-eligible endodontist proudly serving patients throughout the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area. My passion is helping people find relief from dental discomfort, save their natural teeth, and feel genuinely cared for every step of the way.
I began my education at Carnegie Mellon University, where I double-majored in fine arts and biology, a combination that taught me how science and creativity can work beautifully together. I went on to earn my doctor of dental medicine (DMD) from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014, then practiced as a general dentist in Connecticut and New York before completing my endodontic residency at Rutgers University.
Today, my practice focuses on root canal therapy, apical microsurgery, and same-day emergency dental care for patients experiencing discomfort or infection. My goal is to make every treatment as gentle, precise, and stress-free as possible by combining expertise with the latest advancements in technology.
To deliver the highest quality care, I use the GentleWave system for a more thorough and gentle root canal cleaning, 3D cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging for detailed and accurate diagnosis, and a Zeiss surgical microscope for enhanced precision during every procedure. These technologies allow me to deliver exceptional results while keeping your comfort and long-term oral health as my top priority.
In addition to treating patients, I am an international lecturer in dentistry, educating other dentists on advanced endodontic techniques and the integration of modern technology into patient care. I truly believe in advancing the field by sharing knowledge and helping others elevate the level of care they provide.
When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with my family, especially my young daughter. We enjoy playing tennis, skiing in the winter, and finding new hobbies together. I also enjoy drawing and painting, a creative outlet that connects back to my fine arts roots. As much as I love my work, I’m always striving for balance, to be a strong leader for my team, a caring mentor for other dental professionals, and a loving mother at home.
Dr. Kunhyung Kim
Endodontist
I’m Dr. Kunhyung Kim, an endodontist dedicated to helping patients find relief from dental discomfort and preserve their natural teeth through gentle, compassionate, and precise care. My practice is dedicated to offering the highest standard of endodontic care to patients across the DMV community in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
My path to dentistry began at the University of Toronto, where I majored in pharmacology and developed an interest in the medical sciences and patient care. Over time, I realized that dentistry was the perfect fit because it allowed me to combine my curiosity for the biological sciences with my love for hands-on, detail-oriented work and helping others directly.
I went on to earn my doctor of dental medicine (DMD) degree from Boston University in 2014. After graduation, I completed a general practice residency (GPR) at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, where I received advanced training in restorative, surgical, and emergency dental care.
I then practiced as a general dentist for four years in Rhode Island, where I strengthened my technical skills and learned the value of patient-centered communication and trust. Motivated by a growing passion for the field of endodontics, I pursued specialty training at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, completing a two-year residency in endodontics in 2021. This experience deepened my expertise in root canal therapy, microsurgery, and advanced discomfort management techniques.
Now based in the DMV area, my goal is to provide patient-centered endodontic care that feels both effective and genuinely comfortable. I take great care in using advanced techniques and modern technology, including 3D cone beam imaging (CBCT), the GentleWave cleaning system, and high-magnification operating microscopes, to make every procedure as precise, gentle, and stress-free as possible.
Every patient I meet is unique, and I believe that exceptional care begins with listening, understanding, and creating an experience that feels calm and reassuring. Whether it’s relieving discomfort, saving a natural tooth, or helping someone overcome dental anxiety, I strive to make each visit a positive and healing one

I’m Dr. Kwon, a dentist committed to providing personalized, high-quality care with a focus on aesthetics, prevention, and long-term oral health. My goal is to help every patient achieve a healthy, confident smile through comprehensive, thoughtful dentistry in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
My passion for dentistry began at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where I earned my doctor of dental surgery (DDS) degree.
I went on to complete advanced training through a general practice residency at Flushing Hospital Medical Center in New York, gaining extensive experience in restorative, surgical, and emergency dental care.
Today, my clinical work centers on comprehensive restorative, reconstructive, implant, and aesthetic dentistry. My practice encompasses everything from routine preventive and general dental care to advanced smile rehabilitation, helping patients maintain healthy, functional, and naturally beautiful smiles throughout every stage of life. My areas of focus include restorative treatment, cosmetic smile enhancements, crowns and bridges, veneers, implant restorations, and full-mouth treatment planning.
Guided by a commitment to lifelong learning and clinical excellence, I became a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, an honor achieved by only a small percentage of dentists who dedicate themselves to advanced education across all areas of dentistry. I am also a proud graduate of the Kois Center, where I trained in evidence-based, comprehensive dental care that integrates art, science, and compassion.
Every patient I meet has unique goals and circumstances, and I believe exceptional care begins with understanding them. By taking the time to listen, evaluate, and design customized treatment plans, I strive to create an experience rooted in precision, artistry, and genuine care. Whether a patient needs routine dental maintenance, restorative treatment, cosmetic enhancements, or comprehensive dental rehabilitation, my goal is to provide high-quality, compassionate care tailored to their needs so that every patient feels confident, informed, and supported throughout their dental journey.
Dr. Han Eol “Steven” Eom
Prosthodontist
I am Dr. Eom, a prosthodontist specializing in restorative dentistry ranging from single crowns to full mouth rehabilitations. I am passionate about mimicking nature and creating beautiful teeth that blend into each person’s smile.
I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for my undergraduate degree in biology and then New York University College of Dentistry, where I received my doctor of dental surgery.
Finding passion in oral rehabilitation and cosmetic dentistry, I pursued a post-graduate prosthodontics residency program in the U.S. Army, receiving a certificate in prosthodontics and a master of Science at the Eisenhower U.S. Medical Center, Fort Gordon, GA. After seven years of active duty service, I decided to separate from the Army and settle down in the DMV area with my family.
I strongly believe in partnering with my patients to provide the best possible treatment. I always seek to understand the needs and desires of each person and take time to explain procedures and reasons for specific treatments. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to dental esthetics and always strive for a natural smile that is unique to everyone.
Outside of the dental office, I love spending time with my wife and two very energetic children. I also enjoy traveling to take photos and occasionally staying up all night for Milky Way time-lapses.
