As a child, I was heavily involved in the sport of gymnastics and spent several years training with the Olympic Coach, Bela Karolyi. I was a member of the United States Gymnastics Team and competed internationally in meets held in France and South Africa. Following my graduation from college in Reno, NV, I attended the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, where I also earned my Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry. We are caring and committed professionals who enjoy the adventure and rewards of treating child patients.
We are a dental office for children that offer cleanings, sealants, fillings, and early orthodontics. We take a unique, child-oriented approach to dental care. Our staff is kind and friendly and interested in helping children feel comfortable at our office. We emphasize the importance of having clean and healthy teeth to prevent tooth decay.
Getting an early start in regular dental care is an important step on the road to teaching your child healthy lifetime habits. We want to share with you the latest available methods for keeping your child healthy and safe. The first dental visit should occur shortly after the first tooth erupts and no later than the child's first birthday.
Appearance and self-image are very important to adolescents. Decayed or poorly positioned teeth or jaws might make them more self-conscious. Teens also eat frequently, and unhealthy snack foods tend to become a major part of their regular diet. We provide a professional, sensitive, and caring approach to restoring and guiding teeth, and teaching preventive dental health care through the teen's high school years.

Dr. Thiel and her entire staff are warm and extremely knowledgeable. Our children began their dental check ups at the age of 2 in Dr. Thiel's office. We are always greeted with smiling faces, positive energy, and the best care. I would highly recommended Dr. Thiel for your children's dental care. Our children have thrived in their independence of taking care of their teeth and this encouraging staff has helped lead the way. Thank you so much to Team Dr. Thiel!

Love Dr. Kim and her staff! I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else! She makes my kids excited to go to the dentist! Her and her staff are very knowledgeable and always fully explain each appointment and any up coming appointments needed! My kids love visiting the prize wall when they are done with their appointments!

Dr. Kim and her staff are wonderful. My 6year old daughter had 3 large cavities and needed extensive work. I took her to one of the fancy pediatric dentists here in yuba city, first. The facility was new and nice, but very impersonal. After our appointment, our treatment options were explained in about 5 minutes and an appointment was set for 6 months out.
In Roseville! I left with little understanding of what needed to be done and why, even after asking as many questions as i could think of. I decided to get a second opinion. Dr. Theil and her staff came to the same conclusions as to the needed work, however, they set up a seperate appointment with the office manager, to go over everything. At that appointment, the office manager explained everything that they would do, the order, our options on filling types, payment, how we were to prepare, etc. Dr. Theil also attended much of the meeting.
I left with full understanding and all of my questions answered (many questions i didnt even know to ask until they began explaining the process in detail.) I felt very confident in our choices and Dr. Theil would be performing the work herself, in the same office. I asked my daughter what she thought about this dentist. She said, "i still dont like going to the dentist but I like Dr. Kim." Dr. Kim is kind and gentle and great with the kids. I highly recommend her!

She gave good care but everyone in the office treated me like a criminal because my son had a cavity. I was not allowed to go back to the exam room to witness any of my sons care. She gave my son gas when I told her not to and then wanted me to pay for it. The billing dept chronically got the amount that the insurance would pay wrong and always demanded more money. Miserable experience all around.
