Three Things You Should Know If You Don’t Want It to Fail

Hello.

For 18 years,

steadily holding my place

and building up 5,000 cases of clinical experience,

I am Oh Soo-hwan,

chief dentist of Smile D Dental Clinic,

the smiling doctor.

Our clinic is a collaborative practice of three specialists who place the highest value on

(1) trust (2) communication (3) relationships

with patients.

Because we provide treatment that also considers the patient’s overall health and quality of life,

we were able to achieve a Naver rating of 4.82,

a patient satisfaction indicator.

To repay the love and support we have received from our patients,

in October we are providing intensive care to only 30 patients.

"My teeth have been crooked all my life,

and it has always been a complex for me,

so I’ve finally made up my mind and decided to get orthodontic treatment.

But I don’t know which Apgujeong dental clinic I should go to..."

I think those who clicked on this post are probably dealing with a similar concern.

You have always admired straight, beautiful teeth, and you have finally made up your mind to get orthodontic treatment...

But when it comes to choosing which Apgujeong dental clinic to visit, I imagine you may feel lost.

In fact, I want to say that I think you are very wise for choosing a dental clinic so carefully.

Orthodontic treatment usually takes a considerable amount of time and money,

and once it begins, it is not easy to stop midway,

so choosing the right clinic from the start is more important than anything else.

As an orthodontic specialist certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare with 18 years of experience, I will directly explain through the main text below

the 3 tips for choosing

a dental clinic for successful

orthodontic treatment

in detail.

If you read to the end, you’ll be able to pick up useful tips. ^^

[How to Visit Smile D Dental Clinic]

Apgujeong dental clinic,

Is an "orthodontic specialist" "on site"?

For those planning orthodontic treatment,

I recommend checking whether the clinic you plan to visit has an orthodontic specialist.

A specialist is not a title you can simply use because you want to;

you must complete specialized training in that field and obtain a qualification certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

This means that if there is an orthodontic specialist, you can also expect a certain level of assurance regarding treatment results.

Furthermore, you should check not just whether there is an orthodontic specialist at the clinic, but whether that specialist is actually present on site.

Sometimes patients go because they were told there is an orthodontic specialist, only to find that the doctor actually comes in only once or twice a week.

In that case, treatment may lack consistency,

and it may be difficult to respond immediately to variables such as bite problems or appliance adjustments that arise during treatment.

Apgujeong dental clinic,

How many years has it been in operation?

Second, check how long the clinic has been in business.

Of course, a short history does not automatically mean the clinic lacks skill.

However, orthodontic treatment usually takes about a year, and in some cases even two years or more.

If the clinic has been operating for too short a time, there is a possibility that patients’ orthodontic cycles have not even completed one full round.

With insufficient clinical data, it becomes difficult to predict what treatment outcomes will be.

On the other hand, a clinic with a long history can present expected outcomes for cases similar to yours based on years of accumulated experience.

Also, the fact that a dental clinic has remained in one place for a long time is evidence that aftercare has been handled well

and that it has earned trust from patients in the local community.

Apgujeong dental clinic,

Does the doctor see patients "directly"?

The last point is whether the doctor provides direct treatment.

From your perspective, you may think, "Of course the doctor is the one providing the treatment, right?" but...

In some places, a dental hygienist, coordinator, or manager first looks at the patient’s teeth,

then tells the patient, "It would be best if you had this kind of treatment," and passes that information on to the doctor.

Then the doctor simply approves it and proceeds with treatment.

I do not recommend places that operate in this delegated-treatment manner.

Ultimately, the person who will perform your treatment is none other than the doctor.

If your assigned doctor treats patients in this way,

it becomes difficult for the patient to place trust,

and if problems arise later, responsibility also becomes unclear.

For example, at our clinic, the orthodontic specialist and the new orthodontic specialist who recently joined

are involved in every part of the treatment process to what may seem like an excessive degree(^^;).

We meet each patient face to face,

and continue treatment by directly providing care and communication throughout the treatment plan, appliance placement, and adjustments.

Please keep in mind that no matter how good the equipment is, if the doctor’s involvement is low, the quality of treatment will inevitably suffer.

This post discussed what criteria people considering orthodontic treatment should use when choosing a dental clinic.

You only need to remember these three things:

1️⃣ Is an orthodontic specialist on site?
2️⃣ Has the clinic been in operation long enough to have abundant clinical data?
3️⃣ Does the doctor communicate directly and provide treatment?

I sincerely hope that, based on the content above, you will find a clinic that suits you well

and be able to smile with a healthy, beautiful smile. ^^

Until the day we become our patients’ lifelong dental care provider,

this was Oh Soo-hwan, chief dentist of Smile D Dental Clinic.
