Why You’ll Regret Going Based on Reviews Alone

Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

Nice to meet you.

I’m Oh Tae-hoon,

the chief director of D-Day Dental Clinic.

When choosing a dental clinic,

what do you look at first?

Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

Most likely,

you’ll search for reviews first.

But there is a catch here.

Good reviews mean

that patient was satisfied,

but they do not guarantee

it will be right for your case too.

Even for the same symptoms,

the treatment method can vary completely

depending on the oral condition.

Even when placing a single implant,

the approach can differ depending on

the condition of the bone, gum health,

and overall health.

So use other people’s reviews only as a reference,

and check what really matters separately.

Reviews are the starting point,

not the finish line.

So then,

what should you really check?

I’ll explain now.

​​1. Dental reviews: how far should you trust them? ​​2. Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic: the things you really need to look at​​
  1. Dental reviews,

how far should you trust them?

Reviews contain the patient’s “experience.”

  • The waiting time was short,
  • The director was kind,
  • There was no pain.

These points are certainly worth referring to.

But reviews that say,

“I received good treatment,”

should be viewed a little differently.

That is because there is no guarantee

that the treatment they received

is the same as the treatment you need.

For example, many people think losing one molar

is not a big deal and leave it untreated.

Because it doesn’t feel uncomfortable right away.

But if this condition continues,

the surrounding teeth

start to tilt,

and the upper and lower teeth

that were in contact also move.

Later, if you try to place an implant,

there are cases where bone grafting

also becomes necessary.

If a dental clinic chosen just because it had good reviews

didn’t properly explain this situation,

Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

you end up spending more money and time later on.

I place the greatest importance on

treatment that patients can understand and accept.

Even if the doctor is technically correct,

the one receiving the treatment is the patient.

So we always explain the current condition

and the reason for treatment in enough detail

before helping the patient decide.

  1. Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic,

the things you really need to look at

So what should you actually check

when choosing a dental clinic?

Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

The first is whether the director

personally handles the consultation

and treatment.

Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

In a structure where a manager does the consultation

and the director does the treatment,

there are cases where the patient’s condition

is not communicated properly.

The person who will directly carry out the procedure

needs to understand the condition from the beginning

to create the most accurate treatment plan.

The second is

the quality of the explanation. Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

Not just,

“You need to receive this treatment,”

but a place that explains

why that treatment is necessary,

what will happen if you don’t do it,

and whether there are other options

is a truly trustworthy dental clinic.

I, too, while treating more than 10,000 people,

have never changed this principle even once.

The third is

the attitude toward pain.

Yeoksam-dong Dental Clinic

It is completely understandable

to be scared of dental treatment

and worry that it will hurt.

I was someone who

used to have severe dental phobia

when I was young.

So for any procedure that may cause pain,

I always inform the patient in advance,

and I also allow a little more time

for anesthesia.

By finishing as much of the painful part as possible

on the first day,

my approach is to make sure

patients can come in comfortably

from the next visit onward.

When choosing a dental clinic,

just take the number of reviews as a reference.

What actually determines the outcome is

whether the director personally handles the consultation,
and whether they explain things in a way that fits your condition.

If you check these two things

before looking at the reviews,

what you see will be different.^^
