Meet Dr. Go Eun Kim, Nuvia’s restorative dentist at the Sacramento, CA clinic.

About
Dr. Go Eun Kim is the restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Sacramento, CA. She graduated from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine in 2012 and completed three years of prosthodontics training focused on aesthetic and implant dentistry. Since 2019, her work has primarily focused on full arch restorations.
For Dr. Kim, dentistry is a combination of art and science. She’s drawn to the materials and technology that make modern restorations possible and considers it a privilege to help patients smile with confidence.
Dr. Kim was drawn to Nuvia for its innovation and positive culture. Rather than staying comfortable with what’s already known, Nuvia is focused on continuously improving and raising the standard of care—driven by a strong desire to help patients and supported by advanced technology.
She also values Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours model. With traditional methods, patients often wear bulky acrylic temporaries that can stain or break while they wait. At Nuvia, that intermediate phase is skipped entirely. Patients receive a zirconia prosthesis in 24 hours after surgery—a solution Dr. Kim sees as more aesthetic, more durable, and more comfortable for the people she treats.
Outside of work, Dr. Kim is a mom to two young boys. The family loves staying curious and exploring the outdoors together, whether it’s a mountain hike or a relaxing day at the beach. She’s also a lifelong learner—most recently taking swim lessons alongside her kids.

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. Kenneth Wong is the oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Sacramento, CA. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Davis, earned his dental degree from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, and finished his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Highland General Hospital in Alameda County. He has been practicing dentistry for 26 years, including time at Kaiser Permanente and in his own private practice before transitioning into full arch dentistry.
Dr. Wong originally planned to become an orthopedic surgeon. After a family friend suggested he’d make a great dentist, he spent a day shadowing in the office and never looked back—drawn to the variety of work and the difference it made for patients.
Dr. Wong was introduced to Nuvia by a fellow surgeon who described how the team and the process were different here. After learning more, he wanted to be part of it.
He’s especially drawn to Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours process. The zirconia teeth provide aesthetics and added stability for the implants compared to traditional immediate restorations. For Dr. Wong, seeing patients’ reactions when their new smile is complete is what makes his work so impactful.
Outside of work, Dr. Wong stays active with weightlifting and cooking. He’s also a pilot—he’s been flying for about three years and enjoys the quiet, serene feeling of being in the air as a way to unwind.
Dr. Scott Bueno is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Sacramento, CA. He completed 11 years of training—including a fellowship—with a focus on facial reconstruction, cosmetic surgery, and jaw surgery.
Dr. Bueno’s path into the field began toward the end of college, when he shadowed a maxillofacial surgeon and was drawn to the range of procedures the field covers. That experience shaped the rest of his training and the work he focuses on today.
Dr. Bueno joined Nuvia for the chance to focus on full arch surgery within a well-organized, team-based environment. The role pairs naturally with his broader interest in facial reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, and he values being on a team built around a single, structured procedure.
He sees Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours model as a meaningful step forward for patients. His role is to lay the surgical foundation so the restorative team can deliver a new smile the very next day—an outcome he describes as life-changing for the people who come through the clinic.
Outside of work, Dr. Bueno spends time with his wife and kids, stays active outdoors, and sneaks away to the golf course whenever he can.
