About

Dr. Chin Kim

Dr. Chin Kim is a multilingual dentist, speaking Korean, Spanish, and English fluently, currently practicing at the Nuvia Dental Center in Alexandria. Born in Korea, Dr. Kim moved to Mexico when she was just five years old. There, she grew up, developed her passion for the medical field, and pursued dental school. This international upbringing has equipped her with a diverse cultural understanding, making her an empathetic and understanding professional.

As a high school student, Dr. Kim served as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), further cementing her desire to help others. However, it was the smiles and facial expressions that drew her towards dentistry. She recognized how the first thing we notice about people is their face, and she wanted to be a part of enhancing and preserving that. Dr. Kim's love for dentistry only grew during her dental school years, as she realized that the profession was a perfect blend of science, art, and health care provision.

Dr. Kim's patient care philosophy is deeply personal and rooted in empathy. She has developed a special bond with elderly patients, often reminded of her own grandfather during interactions with them. Her primary motivation is giving these patients a second chance at joy - restoring their dental function and aesthetics, enabling them to eat and speak comfortably again, and boosting their self-confidence.

Beyond her technical skills, Dr. Kim brings emotional sensitivity to her practice. She's often moved by the transformational journeys of her patients and is not averse to sharing a joyful tear with them. She believes that her work doesn't just restore smiles but gives people their lives back, which she considers the greatest joy of her profession.

Dr. Kim ensures that her patients have a comfortable and supportive experience under her care. She understands the hesitation some may feel about dental procedures and prioritizes making her patients feel at ease. She emphasizes that her goal is not just to treat, but also to educate and empower her patients regarding their dental health.

Other Doctors

Our doctors are not just experts; they are visionaries in the field of dental implantology. With decades of surgical and restorative experience, and a passion for pioneering research, they are at the forefront of innovation.

Dr. Christian Rouleau

Dr. Rouleau's journey to becoming a maxillofacial surgeon in Miami began at Laval University in Canada, where he completed his DMD program entirely in French. He then came to the United States, where he completed his residency and furthered his education at Harvard MGH (Massachusetts General Hospital), earning his MD and completing his oral maxillofacial surgery training.

Choosing dentistry was a natural decision for Dr. Rouleau, who always knew he wanted a career that allowed him to work with his hands. With a family background in medicine, surgery was a compelling field, but it was dentistry and oral surgery that truly captured his interest. He spent five years practicing general dentistry in the military before focusing on oral surgery and pursuing education as a maxillofacial surgeon. The turning point in his career came after helping a young patient who was self-conscious about her smile. Witnessing the transformative impact of dental implant surgery on her self-perception and demeanor solidified his dedication to oral surgery.

Dr. Rouleau's approach to patient care is shaped by his broad range of experiences and a genuine understanding of the difference a confident smile can make. As a maxillofacial surgeon in Miami, he has the opportunity each day to see how a new smile can change a person’s life.

Personal Life

Originally from Quebec, Dr. Rouleau has made a home in Miami, Florida since 2009, embracing the opportunities for outdoor activities that the state offers. He is an avid scuba diver, enjoys sports, and engages in recreational spearfishing and lobster harvesting. Flying planes is another passion of his, taking advantage of Florida's favorable weather. When he's not in the air or underwater, Dr. Rouleau loves to ski.
