Join us for an inspiring episode of Dentistry for Kidz as we sit down with Dr. Chris Lim, a remarkable individual whose journey from Cambodia to becoming a dentist and later transitioning into real estate is nothing short of extraordinary.

Dr. Lim takes us back to his childhood in Cambodia, where his love for art began to bloom. Growing up in the vibrant city of Long Beach, California, he discovered his passion for dentistry and embarked on a journey that would lead him to UC Riverside and later to Tufts Dental School.

Opening a dental office in Las Vegas marked a significant milestone in Dr. Lim's career. Through his practice, he not only helped children maintain healthy smiles but also fostered a sense of community in a new city.

Transitioning from dentistry to real estate might seem like a leap, but for Dr. Lim, it was a natural progression. Drawing on his experiences as a dentist, he found ways to apply his skills to the world of real estate, eventually focusing on developing office condos.

In his retirement, Dr. Lim continues to find joy and fulfillment in real estate, helping others find their perfect office space and contributing to the growth of his community.

Tune in to discover Dr. Lim's insights on pursuing your passions, navigating career transitions, and finding fulfillment in unexpected places. Whether you dream of becoming a dentist or exploring other avenues, Dr. Lim's story is sure to inspire you to reach for the stars.

Don't miss this captivating episode of Dentistry for Kidz, where smiles and skyscrapers intersect in the journey of Dr. Chris Lim.

About the Guest:

Dr. Lim's story begins in 1984 when, at the tender age of 8, he left Cambodia, finding refuge from a troubled homeland. His journey of resilience and hope took him to a refugee camp in Thailand, where he stayed until 1989 before making his way to the United States, a move that would set the stage for a bright future he could have only imagined.

Settling in California, Dr. Lim's academic journey was marked by dedication and hard work, culminating in his graduation from high school in 1994. His thirst for knowledge and passion for science led him to the University of California, Irvine, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1999, laying the groundwork for his career in dentistry.

The pursuit of his dream took him across the country to Philadelphia, where he attended Temple Dental, earning his degree in 2003. With his expertise in hand, Dr. Lim moved to Las Vegas, where he spent two years honing his skills as an associate before taking the leap to start his own practice, Hillside Dental, in 2005. His dedication to his practice and his patients was evident in the quality care and community trust he built over the years until he sold the practice in 2022.

Today, Dr. Lim enjoys a semi-retired life, yet his passion for dentistry continues. He dedicates every Wednesday morning to working at a practice in Henderson, focusing on what he loves most—extractions, bone grafts, root canals, and implants. His journey from a young refugee to a successful dentist is a testament to the power of resilience, hard work, and the pursuit of passion.
