General Dentist - Kirkland, WA
Meet Dr. Teresa Kang DDS, PLLC
Your Trusted Kirkland Family Dentist
Welcome to Kirkland Dental SMILE, where we are proud to provide compassionate, personalized dental care for patients of all ages. As a Kirkland family dentist, my favorite part of dentistry is building long-term relationships with my patients and helping families achieve healthy, confident smiles for life. I truly love what I do and cannot imagine myself doing anything else.
From your very first visit, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely cared for. I take the time to answer questions, explain treatment options, and make sure you feel confident in your dental care decisions. I believe patient education and open communication are key to excellent oral health.
Gentle Dentistry for Children, Adults, and Anxious Patients
As a mother, I especially enjoy treating children and encouraging parents to bring their little ones in by age one or when their first teeth appear. Starting dental visits early helps establish healthy habits and creates positive experiences that last a lifetime.
Our team is experienced in caring for patients with dental anxiety. Through gentle dentistry, good communication, and a calm environment, we help even the most nervous patients feel at ease. At Kirkland Dental SMILE, we want every patient to feel relaxed, respected, and confident that their needs are our priority.
Cosmetic Dentistry, Invisalign, and Smile Enhancement
In addition to family dentistry, I am proud to offer comprehensive cosmetic dentistry in Kirkland to help patients achieve smiles they love. Whether you are interested in Invisalign, teeth whitening, or white spot removal, we customize treatment plans to fit your goals and lifestyle.
I also enjoy helping patients improve both the appearance and health of their smiles with modern techniques and conservative care. Our focus is always on achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Dental Implants and Comprehensive Care
I am trained in many areas of general dentistry and provide advanced treatment options, including dental implants, to help restore function and confidence after tooth loss. I stay current with advancements in dentistry through ongoing continuing education, allowing me to provide up-to-date, high-quality care for every patient.
I also take time to educate patients about the important connection between oral health and overall health, empowering them to make informed decisions about their care.Our mission at Kirkland Dental SMILE is simple:
Smile More In Life Everyday!

Education, Leadership, and Community Involvement
I earned my undergraduate degree and Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Washington. I am an active member of the dental professional community and believe strongly in lifelong learning. I am proud to be involved in:
• Washington State Dental Association
• American Dental Association
• Seattle King County Dental Association
• Washington Academy of General Dentistry
Within the Washington Academy of General Dentistry, I have served as President, Continuing Education Committee member, and Board Member. I currently serve as Editor, and our publication was nationally recognized by the AGD with the Richard D. Knowlton Continuing Education Award. I was also inducted into the Pierre Fauchard Academy, which recognizes dentists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of dentistry.
I also give back through Donated Dental Services and volunteer dental care whenever possible.
Dr. Outside of the office
When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and watching my children play lacrosse. My husband and I met while attending dental school at the University of Washington. We have two children, Gavin and Kara, and feel fortunate to practice dentistry in the Pacific Northwest, close to our family, friends, and community.
