Kang’s Dental Clinic was established during the Korean war and has been passed down from father to son. If the years of experience don’t calm your nerves, then the friendly English speaking staff is bound to numb the worry of trying a new dentist. Haps gave the doctor a few questions.

How long have you been in business?

My father established the clinic in 1951, during the Korean War. It was the second dental clinic in Seomyeon, and he was the best in his field in prosthodontics. I’ve been with the business since 1988, and have been the Director since 1999 when my father passed away. I am also one of the leading pioneers of dental implant service in the country, with over 20 years of experience.

What is the philosophy of the business?

Our goal is to be a dental clinic people can trust and rely on. I learned everything I know from my father, but I continue to expand my knowledge in the field all the time. In 60 years, we’ve never had any problems with the business which is almost unheard of in the dental industry.

What can a patient expect from a visit to your clinic?

We hope to provide an experience that is comfortable, cozy, and most of all, clean and sanitary to our patients. We do our best to provide a friendly atmosphere, and to get to know our patients on a more personal level.

What kind of treatments/services do you offer? Is it affordable?

We are most well-known for our implants, laser treatments, teeth whitening, prosthodontics and general dentistry. In general, our services cost half the price of getting dental work done in the U.S., though we use the exact same equipment as they do. We also have English service for our foreign clients so they feel more comfortable.

Any advice for nervous patients?

I usually just tell them to trust Dr. Kang’s Dental Clinic!
