Why International Patients Choose D.S.Dasom Dental Clinic

D.S.Dasom Dental Clinic has operated from the same Yeonje-gu location in Busan for more than a decade, growing into a 150-pyeong (about 495 m²) facility built around one principle: every implant case is personally led by the director, from the first consultation through years of aftercare, rather than handed between rotating staff.

The clinic’s approach centers on the two concerns international patients raise most often — pain and long-term reliability. A four-step anesthesia protocol (topical numbing cream, a slow micro-needle injector, and post-treatment desensitizing rinses) is used to keep procedures as comfortable as possible. For implant planning, the team relies on 3D CT scanning and digital oral scanners for precise, minimally invasive placement, paired with microscope- and plasma-assisted techniques aimed at preserving natural teeth rather than defaulting to extraction.

Complex cases — elderly patients, patients with underlying health conditions, or travelers working within a tight Korea itinerary — are supported by an in-house internal medicine consulting physician, so treatment plans can be adjusted safely around a patient’s health status and schedule.

Meet the Medical Team

D.S.Dasom operates with a team of five board-certified dentist specialists across implantology, prosthodontics, and conservative dentistry, supported by an internal medicine consulting physician — enabling collaborative multi-specialty care under one roof rather than referring complex cases elsewhere.

Shin Woon-cheol, Chief Director — Prosthodontics & Implants

MS/PhD/DDS from Pusan National University; completed the prosthodontics/implant program at Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry; trained in implant surgery at New York University (NYU); certified member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID). Personally oversees every implant case from consultation through long-term aftercare.

Park So-hyung, Director — Prosthodontics

Graduate of Pusan National University’s dental program; completed internship and prosthodontics residency at Pusan National University Dental Hospital; board-certified specialist.

Kang Geum-ha, Director — Conservative Dentistry (Root Canal)

Yonsei University graduate; earned her DDS and a licensed dental qualification in Germany (University of Münster); doctoral studies at the University of Hamburg; board-certified in integrated/conservative dentistry.

Jeong Yu-jin, Director — Conservative Dentistry

Pusan National University DDS and dental master’s degree; residency in conservative dentistry at Pusan National University Hospital; former head of conservative dentistry at Inje University Busan Paik Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital.

Internal Medicine Consulting Physician

Former clinical fellow at Haeundae Paik Hospital; board-certified internist with a gastroenterology subspecialty; trained in conscious sedation protocols — supports safe treatment planning for medically complex or elderly patients.

Signature Treatments & Technology

Digitally Guided Implants: 3D CT scanning and digital oral scanners guide precise, minimally invasive implant placement. A published retrospective cohort study found that microscope-assisted, technology-guided endodontic and restorative techniques can meaningfully improve treatment outcomes compared with conventional methods.^[1]

Four-Step Anesthesia Protocol: A layered approach — numbing gel, topical anesthetic cream, a slow micro-needle injector, and a rinse-type desensitizer for post-scaling sensitivity — is used at every stage to reduce injection and procedure discomfort.

Natural Tooth Preservation: Rather than defaulting to extraction, the conservative dentistry team uses dental operating microscopes and plasma-assisted techniques for root canal and restorative cases. Microscope-assisted root canal treatment has been associated in clinical research with significantly higher success rates in complex posterior-tooth cases compared with non-microscopic treatment.^[1]

Internal Medicine Co-Management: An on-site internal medicine consulting physician supports treatment planning for patients with systemic conditions or advanced age, coordinating sedation and procedure timing around each patient’s broader health status.

What Past Patients Say

Reviewing patient feedback associated with the clinic, a few themes come up consistently: patients repeatedly note the layered numbing approach as making implant and extraction visits noticeably less painful than expected; several describe the director and staff walking them through X-ray images and treatment stages step by step before proceeding; and more than one review mentions a fair, transparent price for implant work without pressure toward unnecessary additional treatment.
