Dentist Hospital? Dental Clinic? Where Should I Go for an Implant Hospital? (A University Hospital-Level Dental Clinic)

Dentist hospital? Dental clinic?

A university hospital-level dental clinic

Where should I go for an implant hospital?

Sometimes, when you look at a sign,

you may see something like

‘OO Clinic, Department of Dentistry’

or

‘OO Dental Clinic’

or

‘OO Dental Hospital’

written on it.

If you are about to undergo a major procedure called an implant,

you may somehow feel that you should go to a hospital rather than a clinic.

Even if you are choosing a clinic,

if you do not know the exact difference between

‘OO Clinic, Department of Dentistry’ and ‘OO Dental Clinic,’

and do not know where to go for an implant hospital,

Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic will explain it for you.

Clinic

First, let’s look at the concept of a clinic.

A clinic meets the following conditions.

1. Fewer than 30 beds

2. Mainly for outpatients

If it falls under these conditions, it is called a clinic,

and clinic-level medical institutions include

clinics, dental clinics, and traditional Korean medicine clinics.

Clinics are classified as primary medical institutions.

Specialist medical institutions and general practitioner medical institutions

The most confusing point on a clinic sign is

‘OO Clinic, Department of Dentistry’

or ‘OO Dental Clinic.’

This is the difference between a general practitioner and a specialist.

A general practitioner’s clinic cannot use the department name in the hospital name,

but it can list the department separately next to the hospital name.

A specialist’s clinic can use the department name in the hospital name.

A general practitioner is a doctor who, after graduating from medical school or a graduate medical school,

passes the national exam and obtains a medical license.

A specialist is a doctor who, after obtaining a medical license,

completes 1 year of internship and 4 years of residency training,

and then passes the specialist exam.

Hospital

A hospital meets the following conditions.

1. 30 or more beds

2. Mainly for inpatients

If it falls under these conditions, it is called a hospital,

and hospital-level medical institutions include

hospitals, dental hospitals, oriental medicine hospitals, long-term care hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, and general hospitals.

Hospitals are classified as secondary medical institutions.

General hospital

A general hospital meets the following conditions.

1. 100 or more beds

2. Medical departments

3 of [internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics]

A total of 7 departments including [anesthesiology and pain medicine, radiology, laboratory medicine, pathology]

3. A specialist assigned full-time to each department

or

1. More than 300 beds

2. Medical departments

A total of 9 departments including [internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, anesthesiology and pain medicine, radiology, laboratory medicine, pathology, dentistry, psychiatry]

3. A specialist assigned full-time to each department

If it falls under these conditions, it is called a general hospital,

and general hospital-level medical institutions include

university hospitals.

General hospitals are classified as secondary medical institutions.

Tertiary general hospital

A tertiary general hospital meets the following conditions.

1. Must have the personnel, facilities, and equipment prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Health and Welfare

2. Must have 20 or more essential departments

3. A specialist assigned full-time to each department

4. Must specialize in treating severe diseases such as cancer or transplant surgery

5. A medical institution designated by the Minister of Health and Welfare

6. An institution that trains specialists

If it falls under these conditions, it is called a tertiary general hospital,

and tertiary general hospital-level medical institutions

are designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare every three years.

Tertiary general hospitals are classified as tertiary medical institutions.

Difference between a dental clinic and a dental hospital

So, in conclusion,

where should you go for an implant hospital?

If that is what you are asking, the answer I can give is that

regardless of whether it is a dental clinic or a dental hospital sign,

the skill of the medical staff is what matters.

The difference between a general practitioner and a specialist is only

whether they completed specialty training and passed the specialist exam

after obtaining a license,

and it does not mean that a general practitioner is less specialized than a specialist

or that a specialist is more specialized than a general practitioner.

Likewise,

the difference between a dental clinic and a dental hospital is only

whether there are specialized facilities such as an operating room or clinical pathology lab,

and it does not mean that a dental clinic has poorer equipment and facilities than a dental hospital

or that a dental hospital has better technical skill than a dental clinic.
