Dr. Ji Lim grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina. Having always dreamed of becoming a dentist, she attended the University of South Carolina, graduating summa cum laude from the Honors College before earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pennsylvania. During dental school, she was recognized with honors for her commitment to community health dentistry and was awarded a full scholarship through the National Health Service Corps. Following dental school, Dr. Lim completed a General Practice Residency in Philadelphia before practicing as a general dentist in North Carolina and on California's Central Coast. During this time, she discovered her passion for endodontics and went on to pursue specialty training at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, a program nationally recognized for its advanced endodontic technology and clinical training. Dr. Lim is excited to return to the Central Coast to serve the community where she is committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care while helping patients preserve their natural teeth. Outside of the office, Dr. Lim enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes, finding joy in creating meals to share with family and friends.
