About Dr. Jooyoung Kim
Dr. Claire (Jooyoung) Kim founded Groove Dental on a simple premise: dental care should be a rejuvenating experience. She has curated a boutique studio rooted in mindfulness and intentional care. At Groove, we prioritize ‘Aesthetic Wellness’—a sophisticated fusion of clinical excellence and a spa-inspired atmosphere designed to ensure you feel as radiant as you look.
A graduate of Swarthmore College, Dr. Kim earned her DMD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Following her Ivy League training, she spent over a decade refining her expertise within premier practices across the state, from Orange County to Napa, and most recently in the heart of Silicon Valley. Now returning home to the East Bay, she brings her refined perspective to Danville. As an active member of the ADA, AGD, and Contra Costa Dental Society (CCDS), Dr. Kim is dedicated to a standard of care defined by clinical excellence and genuine comfort.
Outside the studio, Dr. Kim is a busy mother of two boys and finds her own rhythm listening to the energy of K-pop. Dr. Kim is thrilled to be back near family and looking forward to serving the community in Danville, Walnut Creek, Alamo and San Ramon.

I’ve been to this location twice and was impressed both times. You rarely find yourself comfortable in a dental office setting, but Dr. Kim is extremely patient (pun intended) with her patients. All staff are friendly, and you get text/email follow-up messages for any reminders.

Dr. Kim has been one of the kindest and most trustworthy dentists I’ve been to. She’s always very thorough, gentle, and patient. She explains everything clearly without making me feel rushed or pressured. What I appreciated most was how honest she was about treatment options — I never felt like I was being upsold on unnecessary procedures, which made me trust her even more. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and wants them to feel comfortable. I’m really grateful I found her and would highly recommend her.

I've been driving to Napa to see Dr. Kim for the past five years. I am so glad she opened a new office nearby! The new office is beautiful and gives you entertainment options to go through the hygiene process with ease. You will see the doctor is doing the cleaning herself, not a hygienist, as she'd like to get to know her patients better, although I've been seeing her for years. I still have fillings that another office recommended doing ASAP, but with Dr. Kim, we've been watching them every six months as she wants to avoid unnecessary and aggressive treatment. So far, the cavity has not been growing, and I am happy with the doctor. Dr. Kim is one of the most caring, gentle dentists you'll see.

Switched over to Groove Dental after my prior dentist stopped following up and was never clear about why I needed certain procedures. The office is great & has lots of modern tech, it has a nice upscale feel rather than a sterile 'hospital' clinic vibe.
Dr. Kim is excellent. Very thorough, articulate, and actually takes the time to explain things. The staff was professional. Overall had a great experience.

Found Dr Kim via my insurance as my previous dentist went out of network but very glad I switched. Exam and cleaning went smooth. Will be back for the first teeth whitening appointment next month.
