"The ultimate goal of dentistry is to preserve natural teeth"

Introducing Minish Providers

"I've always felt bad about the ease with which teeth can be pulled as implants have become more popular. If you have to, do it, but it's more important to keep your own teeth."

Since its opening in July 2023, Hapjeong Mo Dental Clinic has seen a steady flow of patients. Dr. Song wants patients to remember the clinic as a place that protects their natural teeth. That's why he focuses on treatments that don't cut, don't remove, and save teeth as much as possible.

We became a Minish provider because we wanted to expand the options for people to save their natural teeth. In fact, more and more patients are choosing Minish for their molars and incisors. For patients who are considering Minish, we show them their own teeth with Minish to help them make a decision and to help them choose a color.

"I think the trend toward tooth preservation is shifting, and people who would have chosen implants in the past are now realizing that they need to do something to save their teeth."

He believes that as patients' perceptions are changing, so should dentistry. In particular, he works to eliminate the fear of dental treatment. He communicates with his patients throughout the treatment process by explaining things and comparing before and after photos. This increases understanding and trust in the treatment.

"We want to make natural teeth last longer, and we'll work harder to make dental visits comfortable for our patients with treatments that require less cutting, less pain, and faster recovery."
