Why You Should Be Wary of Cheap Dental Clinics

Daechi Station Dental Clinic

Hello.

I’m Kim Moo-jin, the chief director of D-Day Dental Clinic.

Why do the prices differ so much for the same treatment at each dental clinic?

At one place, an implant costs 800,000 won, while at another it costs 2,000,000 won.

Is that difference simply a difference in profit margin? It may not be.

The materials, the level of procedure skill, and the scope of aftercare can all differ.

I also know that there is a perception that dental clinics are the places where dishonesty is most common.

Some of you may have experienced that the number of cavities found for the same tooth differs from clinic to clinic.

I once treated someone who had returned from overseas,

and after that, there have been cases where families make appointments and come all the way from the United States.

If you think about why people come despite the long distance,

in the end, I think it comes down to trust.

I will honestly explain why dental costs vary so much,

and where those differences come from.

  1. Where do differences in dental costs come from?

There are actually several ways to lower the price of an implant.

  • Lowering the grade of the fixture

  • Being lenient in deciding whether bone grafting is needed, or

  • On the contrary, recommending it unconditionally

And minimizing aftercare services.

It is difficult to distinguish these differences from the outside.

Even if the same brand name is attached,

there are different grades within it.

If you choose based only on the initial price,

you may come to feel these differences only later.

Dental clinics have to treat patients while considering profits, so this issue is not easily resolved.

That is why, from the time I first opened my clinic to now, I have kept to my belief that I should explain only the treatments that are truly necessary, honestly and conscientiously.

If you ask whether this helps the clinic’s profit, I have nothing to say,

but I believe it is not right to make money at the expense of one’s conscience.

  1. Daechi Station Dental Clinic: What to check before price

There are two situations that are most uncomfortable at a dental clinic.

One is suspicion that it may be overtreatment.

It is when you think, "It doesn’t even hurt, so is this really a necessary treatment?"

The other is, conversely, feeling anxious that a necessary treatment may have been missed.

It is a confusing situation when another clinic says there are more cavities.

The common cause of these two kinds of discomfort is a lack of explanation.

When treatment is carried out without the patient understanding the reason for it,

trust is lost regardless of the result.

The reason I tell you to be cautious about cheap places is that

one of the easiest ways to lower prices is to reduce treatment time.

The time spent explaining, the time spent checking carefully, and the time spent recording the patient’s condition.

If you reduce these times, patient turnover increases and costs go down.

But if those times disappear, the accuracy of the treatment also declines.

If you receive a sufficient explanation, the patient can also judge whether it is overtreatment or not.

Without an explanation, that judgment is impossible in itself.

Checking the quality of the explanation before the price,

that is the most important criterion when choosing a dental clinic in Daechi Station.

You do not need to avoid something just because it is cheap.

However, do check whether they explain the reason for the price.

If you can understand "why this material is used" and "why this method is chosen,"

that clinic is trustworthy.

If you are looking for a dental clinic in Daechi Station, ask that one question during the consultation.^^
