HOMEOUR PROMISE · SINCE 1990

A greeting of 'Good morning',
a dental clinic you can say it at.

Named with the wish that the morning after a dental visit feels refreshing.

“Listening to the patient's discomfort
one more time”

1990 — TODAY

In the place my father started,
the care I wanted to add.

Our clinic started here in 1990 by my father. So I grew up seeing my father treating patients in this neighborhood.

What I remember from childhood were not treatment scenes but people. When local elders came, my father would call them by name and greet them; later they would bring grandchildren, and those children would come back as they grew. What I learned then was that a dental clinic is not a place for a one-time treatment but a long-term relationship.

So when I took over I did not move the practice. Since 1990, we have been practicing in the same place for two generations.

But there was one thing I wanted to add. In practice I often meet people who say “I delayed for years because I was scared.” The longer the delay, the more the teeth are damaged and the larger the treatment needed. It was always regrettable to lose teeth that didn't have to be lost just because of fear.

So I specialized in periodontology, which treats gums and jawbone, and added conscious sedation.

The name The Good Morning means a fresh morning. A peaceful morning after a night of toothache, or a confident morning when someone who feared the dentist lets go of fear — I wanted to create such mornings, hence the name.

Composed based on provided opening story. Year notation and definitive expressions about sedation have been adjusted. Suitability and effectiveness of conscious sedation vary by individual.

01

We ask once more about the patient’s discomfort.

Treatment begins with listening until the end to where and how you are uncomfortable.

02

Before going to a university hospital, wide-ranging care in the neighborhood.

We connect various fields except orthodontics so you can receive needed treatments within Dongdaemun-gu. Not all treatments can be completed in-house; when referral to a higher-level hospital is needed we explain the reason and next steps.

03

You don’t have to delay because you’re scared.

For those fearful of dental care, we first find ways to reduce fear together.

CARE THAT DOES NOT GIVE UP

We hope you will not give up and leave
and go home.

“When I see patients like this, there are certainly difficulties. It takes more time and it’s not easy to know where they’re uncomfortable. But because of that, I can confirm that my work truly helps someone.”

"Even if movement is difficult or receiving treatment is hard, we hope you will not give up and go home from our clinic."

Director Kang Do-wook · excerpt from provided chief director message

We will first hear about patient mobility, communication, and caregiver burden. If in-hospital treatment is difficult, we will explain the necessary treatment environment and referral method.
