Building a Patient-First Practice with Dr. Susie Kim, Prosthodontist & Owner of Montvale Prosthodontics
This episode is smooth, energetic, and packed with insight. Dr. Susie Kim—Harvard-trained prosthodontist and owner of Montvale Prosthodontics—shares how she built a practice where patient care isn’t dictated by outside forces. From her family’s coal and soy sauce businesses in Korea to a wholesale tire warehouse in Paterson, to dental school in LA and a prosthodontics residency at Harvard in Boston, Dr. Kim’s journey is a masterclass in grit, vision, and craftsmanship.
We dig into what prosthodontists actually do—and why it matters for real people: comprehensive smile restoration, full-mouth rehabilitation, implant dentistry, complex crown and bridge work, dentures, veneers, and TMJ/occlusion care. Dr. Kim explains how facial aesthetics, bite mechanics, and long-term function come together, why night guards can save you from decades of wear, and how coordinated, concierge-level care changes outcomes—especially for complex and oncology-related dental cases.
You’ll hear how she opened in Montvale, built a culture of communication and “wow” service, and why preparation and team fit drive the patient experience. If you’re a patient wondering where to start, a clinician chasing excellence, or a business owner who cares about values and execution, you’ll love this conversation.
