SIGNATURE CARE

Three treatments we are asked about most

These are the three treatments patients ask about most often at our Gangnam dental clinic. Which one fits depends on the condition of your teeth and bite, so it is confirmed in person first.

    I came here to get my wisdom tooth extracted, and I couldn't believe how smooth the whole process was — it literally did not hurt at all. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. I chose Gangnam Gentle Dental because Dr. Kim speaks fluent, native-level English (he was fully educated in the U.S.), which makes a huge difference when you want to understand exactly what's happening during a procedure. He was honest about the pricing and didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary. The dental hygienists were professional, friendly, and made me feel at ease the entire time. Overall, it was one of the most painless and professional dental visits I've ever had. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone — especially foreigners in Korea who want clear communication and trustworthy dental care.

    The absolute best experience, kind people, great English! I have a lot of dental anxiety, and then as a foreigner who only speaks English, I was really worried to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. I had the best experience, both during the actual procedure and after: my healing process was much faster than a lot of online reports and I have to believe the only reason for that is because of the incredible and gentle care I received at Gangnam Gentle. Also, older reviews about lack of English aren't accurate! Two of my extractions were surgical, the other two were "simple" extractions. I received IV sedation, and the whole process was done in about 2 hours. I came a week later to have the stitching removed from the surgical extractions which took about 2 minutes and was completely painless. Costs are very transparent and I was never surprised!

    I had always wanted to get rid of this cavity since it was right in a very visible spot, but I was so afraid that I kept postponing my visit to the dentist. Today, I finally had the tooth treated and also did whitening. The staff at Gentle Dental Clinic in Gangnam were so kind, and the doctor speaks perfect English. The clinic itself is very clean, modern, and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable and safe throughout my visit. Most importantly—it was absolutely painless! Thank you so much to the clinic and the amazing doctor! I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends!

    10/10, Highly recommend this dental clinic if you were ever in Seoul. The doctor was friendly, well mannered and spoke perfect english so that you can ask and understand everything. The clinic and staff there was also 10/10. I'm from Hong Kong and for me the prices were surprising reasonable. I came in to do canal root procedure and the entire process was smooth and better than I expected. I honestly trust that their other services are just as great, so highly recommend from my heart.

    I have been going to this dentist since they opened their office a few years ago. Every single time I walk out completely satisfied by not only the excellent and above and beyond service and pleasant calming and clean interior environment, but also by the perfect treatment that immediately brings back my dental health, comfort and beauty. By far the best dentist I've known in my 40-yr life (and trust me, I've had many many more previously due to poor attention and care as a dumb kid...) Highly recommended!!!

    Great experience from start to finish! The staff were friendly, professional, and made the whitening process comfortable. My teeth are noticeably whiter with natural-looking results. The clinic was clean, and the service exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them for anyone considering professional teeth whitening.

    I'm from the U.S., and I've been to dentists all around both Korea and the States — Gangnam Gentle Dental is among the best I've experienced when it comes to price, customer service, and attention to detail. I came in for a general cleaning and whitening, and from start to finish, the hygienists were kind, accommodating, and made sure I felt comfortable. The head doctor, Dr. Kim, speaks perfect native English (he was fully educated in the U.S.) — it's not always easy to find a dentist in Korea who can explain every detail clearly in native English. What really stood out to me was how transparent Dr. Kim is about costs. While some clinics might push unnecessary treatments, here you never feel pressured — he only recommends what's genuinely needed. Everything is clearly explained upfront, so you know exactly what you're paying for.

    I had a great experience at Gentle Dental Clinic. I visited to get check up and did teeth whitening, and the results were excellent — my teeth look so much brighter now! The dentist is amazing very honest, sweet, and gentle, which really helped me feel relaxed throughout the procedure. He speaks English fluently and is a native speaker of both Korean and English, so communication was super easy. I highly recommend this clinic if you're looking for professional, kind, and trustworthy dental care in Seoul.

    The clinic was clean and easy to find in NAVER. They have an English speaking dentist which was really nice, gave me recommendations how to take care of bridge and teeth in general. The bridge fits me beautifully! I paid around 1,700,000 won for zirconium bridge!

    I visited this dentist with my father who was looking for a cleaning and teeth whitening. When we arrived we were shocked to see how clean and new everything was. We had our X-rays taken, teeth cleaned and whitened all for a shockingly affordable price. The best part was all of the staff spoke English! 10/10 must visit if you are in Seoul!

    I am a Dr. Steve Soohwan Seong at Yezel Clinic, located right next to Gangnam Gentle Dental Clinic. The dental treatment was very kind, affordable, and provided in English, which I appreciated. I went in for scaling, and the director told me there was a fair amount of tartar between my wisdom tooth and molar and that a small cavity was visible, so I booked a wisdom tooth extraction and came back. The X-ray from the day of my scaling was used to explain everything to me. After about 30 seconds of anaesthetic and a minute of waiting, the extraction itself took about 20 seconds, which amazed me. I had it done late in the evening, and there was no swelling even on the day. When I went back to my normal routine the next day, nobody could tell I had had a tooth out, and I had no pain or discomfort. The staff were as kind as those at my own clinic next door, and I was satisfied with everything. Seeing the director treat patients in English, I plan to bring my friends too. Thank you. — Director Seong, Yezel Clinic

    Very nice dentist. I went there because one of my teeth was smaller and it was bordering me. The doctor recommended to do a crown. I'm very satisfied with the result and I think it looks very natural. I was a bit afraid that it would hurt but I didn't feel any pain. The doctor can also speak English and the location is very convenient (near Gangnam station and Sinnonhyeon station). I uploaded a before and after picture. (I also did a whitening)
