Dear Smile Dental Clinic & Orthodontics

Hello. This is Dear Smile Dental Clinic & Orthodontics in Songdo. As a Songdo dental clinic where patients can receive both orthodontic and pediatric dental care, we provide personalized treatment tailored to each patient’s age and circumstances, from growing children and adolescents to adults. [The most important thing when choosing a Songdo dental clinic is “who provides the treatment.”] Dear Smile operates a collaborative care system in which specialists from different fields work together. At our Songdo dental clinic, patients can receive comprehensive care in one place, from orthodontics to pediatric dentistry. Dr. Ahn Hyun-jun, our director, is a Ministry of Health and Welfare–certified orthodontic specialist and a specialist in advanced general dentistry. He holds a Ph.D. in orthodontics and serves as an adjunct professor at the Kyung Hee University School of Dentistry. We provide care based on the philosophy that orthodontic treatment is not simply about straightening the teeth, but must also take into account facial balance, growth, and function. Pediatric care is provided by Dr. Lee Gyu-jin, a graduate of Seoul National University. With approximately 15 years of experience in treating children, Dr. Lee places great importance on care that considers each child’s personality and developmental stage. As a dentist recognized in dental anesthesia for oral and inhalation sedation, Dr. Lee also provides meticulous care to help children receive treatment more comfortably. [Why we offer orthodontic and pediatric dental care together] Children in their growth stages need cavity treatment and preventive care, while also requiring observation of jaw growth and dental alignment. At Dear Smile, families do not need to visit separate pediatric and orthodontic clinics. Children can receive naturally coordinated care tailored to each stage of their growth.
