    The consultation was very kind and helpful, so I decided to go ahead right after. On the first day, they put in the upper braces, and after two weeks, I had the lower braces completed as well! I completely trust the doctor's credentials and appearance. I believe they will continue to take good care of me!

    Ceramic Dental ClinicFacial contouring + orthodontics ♥ Non-surgical beauty correction

    I found out about the ceramic dental clinic through Cashwalk. I decided to get braces right away after a friendly consultation, and it all started immediately. Dr. Kim Seon-min was in charge of my treatment, and she was so eager to make my smile as beautiful and perfect as possible that she put even more effort into my treatment than I did. I initially expected the process to take two years, but my teeth moved faster than I anticipated, so it seems like I finished in about a year and a half! I should have done this sooner; I am completely satisfied ^^

    Hello Dental Clinic★Ceramic Braces 199 Dual Jaw Effect

    I had a lot of concerns because the distance was far. I was worried because my body was suffering and the costs were high. When I compared it to the dentist near my house, the price difference was so significant that I decided to go to Seoul, and I am very satisfied with my decision. I feel more confident with my beautiful teeth.

    In my 60s, my teeth kept becoming more crooked, so I’m undergoing orthodontic treatment. I’ve been receiving treatment for 8 months. They kindly send me a text reminder before my appointment and call to let me know on the day I’m scheduled to come in. Since I make an appointment in advance, there’s little waiting time, and I always leave feeling good after receiving treatment in a clean, comfortable environment.

    I received a follow-up consultation for prosthetic correction because my teeth alignment had changed. From my first visit, the responsible doctor carefully listened to my current discomfort and patiently explained why this situation occurred, which built my trust in them. They conducted an oral scan and X-rays to check the condition of my teeth and gums, presenting several options on whether to maintain or replace the existing prosthetics. The treatment plan was set to adjust the prosthetics rather than push for immediate corrections, aligning the tooth balance, and they provided honest information about the duration, costs, and expected changes. Throughout the consultation, there was no pressure at all, and they created a realistic plan tailored to my lifestyle, which made me very satisfied. They made minor adjustments to the height of the prosthetic as a trial, and I felt much more comfortable chewing that very day. They stood out from other dental clinics by addressing only the necessary areas without excessive treatments and sincerely answered every question, making a clear difference.

    Since I was a child, I had a habit of covering my mouth while smiling because of my crooked teeth. After much thought, I decided to start braces. The first time they tightened the wires, it really hurt to the point where I could only eat soft food for days, but I got used to it quickly. Going for monthly treatments for about two years was a bit of a hassle, but it was a great joy to watch my teeth gradually move into their correct positions. Most notably, my profile improved a lot as my protruding teeth got aligned, and more than anything, gaining confidence in my smile was the biggest gain. Now that the braces are off, I'm diligently wearing my retainers to maintain my teeth. There are downsides of food getting stuck and brushing being a bit inconvenient, but when I look in the mirror and see my neat teeth, all I can think is, 'Why didn’t I do this sooner?' I believe that getting braces is the best investment for anyone wanting to change their appearance!

    This is the clinic where my child goes for braces treatment. The doctor is really kind and provides thorough care like family. There's no over-treatment, and they give their all in the treatment, which is why there's always a waitlist. At the beginning of the treatment, my child couldn't smile much due to the dental structure and was quite reserved in social situations, but as the long-term treatment progressed, we've seen great improvements, and now they have a lot more confidence in their behavior. The facilities are also pleasant, and it's easily accessible, so I highly recommend it.

    I visited the dental clinic for a consultation regarding ongoing discomfort in my molars and the feeling of misalignment in my bite. They first meticulously examined my X-rays and oral state, explaining how my molars were misaligned using the screen, which made it easy to understand. Instead of simply recommending orthodontics, they told me step by step how to proceed with correction in my current state, building my trust in them. The treatment would involve gradually adjusting the molar position while maintaining overall tooth balance, and they guided me step-by-step through the types of orthodontic devices, duration, and care methods. They explained that molar corrections are crucial for bite functionality, giving me a more professional impression. During the consultation, I felt they explained things in a way that was easy for patients to understand. There wasn't that excessive push I often feel elsewhere, and they realistically guided me according to my current state, allowing for a comfortable consultation. I left feeling that I would be good to receive continued care here when starting orthodontic treatment.

    I'm leaving a review for the dental clinic where I received orthodontic treatment for several years. Overall, the atmosphere of the clinic wasn't particularly comfortable, so I remember feeling a bit tense every time I visited. During the orthodontic process, I underwent quite a few extractions, which at the time I thought was necessary, but as time has passed, I've felt some regret. Now in my late twenties, I feel like my gums have weakened compared to before, and sometimes I get worried because my teeth feel like they're moving when I sneeze or experience any kind of impact. Of course, the treatment process may vary depending on individual conditions, but I think it's important for anyone considering orthodontics to have a thorough consultation about the need for extractions and the entire treatment process before making a decision.

    I'm currently visiting for my child's orthodontic treatment, and I'm very satisfied. The oral and maxillofacial surgeons are great, and the nurses are very kind. I really appreciate how they try their best to see patients on time, even though there are often many people. Parking is fairly convenient too. The waiting room is spacious and comfortable, and there's a coffee machine, so I can enjoy an Americano while I wait, which makes me feel good. It's an ice water dispenser, so I enjoy iced coffee in the summer. My child was quite scared about the braces but is handling it really well now. Thank you to the female hygienist who explained the brushing techniques so thoroughly during today's cavity check.

    It's been 6 months since I got my implants, so I visited Yonsei Promise Dental for a check-up and to have some tartar removed. The doctor is really kind and skilled, and the dental hygienists are quick and gentle while doing the scaling. I'm always satisfied whenever I visit. No matter which hygienist I see, they do a great job removing tartar and are completely professional. In the past, scaling at another dentist took about 40 minutes, but at Yonsei Promise, the X-ray, the doctor's check-up for the implants, checking the surrounding teeth and scaling all took about 25 minutes. The front desk staff is also friendly, and the waiting room is spacious with comfy sofas, making it convenient to visit with a baby.

    One of my brackets suddenly fell off while I was wearing braces, so I hurried to the dentist. It was uncomfortable because it kept catching on my tongue and food was getting stuck. After I checked in, they immediately examined the situation, and Dr. Jeong Ji-hoon carefully looked at the location of the fallen bracket and whether the wire was damaged. Fortunately, he explained that there wasn't a big problem with tooth movement and that the cause was the adhesive coming off. The treatment involved first cleaning off any remaining adhesive, then smoothing the surface of the tooth, and reattaching the bracket with a special orthodontic adhesive. Before the adhesive was applied, they dried the tooth surface and applied a primer, then positioned it precisely, which I found impressive. After curing it thoroughly with a light, they reconnected the wire, which made me feel much more secure. The treatment time wasn’t long, and there was hardly any pain. Above all, I appreciated that they explained in detail why it fell off and what foods to be careful of moving forward. I felt reassured as they handled only what was necessary quickly, without unnecessary treatment. I was able to return to my daily life right after the treatment, and there was almost no foreign feeling.

    My child’s baby tooth wasn’t coming out properly, and a permanent tooth was bulging under the gums, so we went to a local Dental Clinic. They said the tooth was lying sideways and recommended seeing an orthodontist, so after giving it some thought, we came to the university hospital for treatment. Since I mentioned that my child is easily frightened, the female doctor was very kind and checked whether it hurt while removing the tooth, so my child was happy that it didn’t hurt as much~ There was some malocclusion, so we made an appointment for an orthodontic examination. Because it’s a university hospital, there were many people waiting and it took a long time, which was tiring. But orthodontic treatment takes a long time, so we came to a large hospital for a consultation, and we’re satisfied. The professor in charge was very kind and explained everything in detail using the imaging scans, which was great.

Plus, the doctor was friendly and made sure to explain everything in detail so my child wouldn’t be scared. Even though it was just the first day of treatment, I came away with a lot of valuable information.

    I've had a slight misalignment in my front teeth for a while now, and it always bothered me when I smiled. I was hesitant to go for a full orthodontic treatment, so after some thought, I decided to visit. During the consultation, they explained that partial braces would be sufficient to improve my dental condition, which helped me make my decision. At first, I was worried about the pain from the braces, but the discomfort was much less than I expected. Plus, they weren't too uncomfortable to wear, so it didn't really interfere with my daily life. What stood out most was how they carefully checked and explained how I was progressing at each stage, which made me feel confident leaving my treatment in their hands. As time passed, I could see my front teeth getting straighter, and my satisfaction kept rising. After the treatment finished, my smile became so much more natural, and I felt more confident too. I used to cover my mouth when taking pictures, but now I find myself smiling widely instead 😂 The clinic atmosphere was clean, and the staff were friendly, which made my overall experience very comfortable. 👉 If you're thinking about getting braces for your front teeth, I recommend getting a consultation to explore your options.

    A few days ago, my gums on one side started bleeding every time I brushed my teeth. At first, I thought it was just because I had been brushing too hard, but it continued for several days, so I went to the dental clinic. It was an area I usually didn't pay much attention to, so I was curious to find out exactly what the problem was during the examination. During the visit, they first checked the overall condition of my teeth and gums and also took X-rays. The doctor then showed me the images and explained that there was more tartar buildup in some areas than I had expected. They took a close look at the gum where I had been bleeding often and also pointed out the areas that could become irritated while brushing. I received treatment to clean the areas with tartar buildup. At first, the sound was quite loud, so I felt a little nervous. There were also a few spots that felt sensitive during the treatment, but it was bearable. They told me to let them know right away if I felt uncomfortable, so I mentioned the areas that bothered me and continued with the treatment. After the treatment, I was told that my gums might feel sensitive for a while. I was also instructed not to brush too hard at home and to make sure I cleaned around my gums without skipping those areas. I used to brush off bleeding while brushing as nothing serious, but after seeing the condition for myself this time, I realized that I needed to take better care of my gums. Since then, I've been paying closer attention to the condition of my gums when I brush my teeth.

    Since I was young, I often heard that my lower jaw was small, and as I got older, I noticed that my lower teeth began to touch my upper teeth, so I thought I needed braces. I ended up visiting a dental clinic where an orthodontist is stationed while looking for one in Jinjeop, and I was very satisfied with the experience from the consultation to the treatment. The hospital was spacious, pleasant, and well-maintained, allowing me to have my consultation in a comfortable atmosphere. The orthodontist carefully checked the current state of my teeth and jaw, then explained the treatment plan in an easy-to-understand way, which showed their professionalism. The head of consultations also kindly answered all my questions one by one and provided detailed information about the treatment process and costs, which made me feel reassured. I considered several clinics, but after the consultation, I felt confident that this place was trustworthy enough to start orthodontic treatment, so I decided to go ahead with the procedure.

    I discovered Dandanch Dental Clinic while looking into orthodontics for my child. I felt great after the scaling treatment. Honestly, I was nervous since it was my first time visiting a dental clinic, but the doctor explained my dental condition in detail during the consultation, so I clearly understood which parts were problematic. They accurately pointed out the areas where tartar had accumulated and kindly advised me on my daily care routine. During the scaling, they kept asking if I felt any discomfort, and maybe because the doctor is a professional, it didn’t hurt at all. Once it was done, my teeth felt refreshing, and my mouth felt clean, giving me a great sense of satisfaction. The waiting time was also short, around 10 minutes, compared to regular dental clinics. The prices are reasonable compared to other clinics in Sadang-dong, and the staff is friendly, so I’m considering getting my child’s orthodontic treatment here too.

    I went with my family. I was stressed about my yellow teeth for a long time, but finally had the courage to visit! I was worried about the teeth whitening, thinking it requires a lot of manual work, but I’m super satisfied because my tooth color brightened by two shades after the treatment. Before the whitening, they cleaned between my gums with water, and because it wasn’t done with sharp equipment, it was painless and comfortable. Also, the dentist carefully examined my teeth and pointed out my grinding habit, which I wasn’t even aware of, and provided advice on how to adjust it, which I found really helpful. On my way out after the treatment, I noticed two large machines in the middle of the lobby and asked about them; they said they are devices for making crowns and inlays, allowing for same-day treatment. I think this would be really useful for busy working professionals like me. Above all, I’m really satisfied with the definite whitening results! Highly recommend!

    I had been eating a lot of coffee and curry while getting my teeth aligned, and I feel like my teeth have gradually turned more yellow. I was really worried about it when I smiled, but this time I tried a teeth whitening treatmentㅠㅠ At first, I wasn't sure if one treatment would make a big difference, but after the procedure, when I looked in the mirror, I felt like the overall tone had brightened a bit – maybe it was just my imagination, but I'm satisfied!! Especially, the surface of my teeth looks cleaner, I think. My smile seems a lot brighter in photos now, too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the past, I would sometimes cover my mouth when I smiled because I was so self-conscious about my teeth, but after the whitening, I feel less anxious about it ㅎ I'm just following the care instructions I received after the treatment and I've been doing fine without any discomfort!! I think it's definitely worth it for anyone who is struggling with yellowing teeth. Of course, it would be better to keep getting treatments regularly, though ㅠ

  • I think my child's front teeth are protruding and spaced apart, so we might need orthodontics. Is there a consultation fee?

    Hello, this is Ceramic Dental Clinic. The period around the entrance to middle school is an excellent time to begin orthodontic treatment, as the speed of tooth movement is rapid and jaw growth is ongoing, allowing for efficient and predictable results. In particular, starting treatment early for issues such as protruding front teeth or gaps between teeth can help prevent secondary problems such as asymmetry or malocclusion. Our Ceramic Dental Clinic is operated by a board-certified orthodontist accredited by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, who provides personalized orthodontic treatment through 1:1 consultation, and we enhance long-term stability and satisfaction with a 10-year maintenance program after treatment. Thank you for your inquiry :)

  • Due to a traffic accident, my teeth have become misaligned, and the insurance company has provided a payment guarantee for orthodontic treatment. Is this possible?

    Hello.. I understand that you may have been very stressed both physically and mentally due to the car accident. If you provide the accident case number and the phone number of the insurance representative during your appointment, we can confirm and proceed with the treatment. Above all, please take good care of your health, and I hope to see you in good spirits.:)
