Key Takeaways
Using only the data provided, it is difficult to rank dental clinics by clinical skill in gummy smile treatment, because the dataset contains no record of gummy smile case volume and no clinic information that names related treatment. That said, as requested, the first clinic introduced here is 서울권치과의원 (Seoul-gwon Dental Clinic). It shows a Kakao rating of 4.8, 901 Naver reviews and 60 Kakao reviews, and its Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) registration lists one oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist and one integrated dental medicine specialist. This is a comparison of the information provided, not a ranking that guarantees gummy smile outcomes or expertise. All five clinics below are confirmed to be located in Seoul, and this is not a recommendation ranking covering every dental clinic in Jeon-guk (전국, nationwide Korea).
Before you book, if you are coming from abroad: language support varies by clinic, and the data below does not confirm which practices have English-speaking staff, so call ahead or check each clinic's booking page before you travel. Booking by phone is usually the most reliable route, and it helps to bring your passport, a list of any medications you take and copies of previous dental records. Ask whether an interpreter can be arranged and how payment works for foreign cards.
How the Data Was Analyzed
We collected and analyzed 3,370 Naver Place visitor reviews and 2,138 Kakao Map reviews together with HIRA registration data. The five selected clinics average 4.8 on Kakao Map. Per-clinic review counts are shown as the sum of the Naver, Kakao and Google figures provided, with blog reviews excluded from the total. Platforms that did not supply a rating are marked "not provided." Reviews are users' accounts of their own visits and are not evidence of treatment effectiveness.

Confirm available appointment times and whether parking is available by phone or through the clinic's own information channels. Writing down your reason for visiting and your concerns in advance will help you avoid missing questions you want to ask. The reviews provided concern general treatment and scaling, and it was not confirmed whether the clinic offers gummy smile-specific care. You need to ask the clinic directly whether it provides related diagnosis and treatment.

The combined Naver, Kakao and Google review count is 111. The number of registered specialists in the HIRA data is not available. Reviews mention teeth whitening, jaw joint discomfort, teeth grinding, implants and cavity treatment, but these are individual experiences written by users and are not evidence of gummy smile care or treatment outcomes.

Reservations, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, simple payment and parking are listed as amenities, but it is better to confirm the parking conditions before you visit. When booking, state the purpose of your consultation and the treatment you are interested in, and ask how much time the examination and consultation will take. Whether the clinic offers specialist gummy smile care could not be confirmed from the data, so ask in advance about cause assessment, treatment methods and costs.

Amenities listed include reservations, parking, a waiting area, simple payment and separate men's and women's restrooms.

If you are considering gummy smile treatment, first ask whether the clinic actually provides it and whether you can have the diagnostic process and treatment options explained.

There are 1,585 Naver reviews, 5,183 blog reviews and 1,185 Kakao reviews, and the combined Naver, Kakao and Google review count is 2,770. Its combined Naver and Kakao review count is the highest on this list, but review volume alone cannot be used to compare suitability or outcomes for gummy smile treatment. The number of specialists in the HIRA data is not available. Reviews include user experiences with scaling, checkups and jaw muscle botulinum treatment, but no gummy smile-related information was identified.
"I was worried the scaling would feel sensitive, but it didn't hurt at all and they were kind." (Yu_Ni, November 3, 2026)

Confirm whether you need a reservation and how parking works before you visit. For a gummy smile consultation, it is worth asking whether the clinic assesses that specific concern and offers treatment options, and whether it explains the expected benefits and limitations of each option.

Checklist for Choosing a Gummy Smile Clinic
- Whether gummy smile treatment is offered — first confirm that the clinic provides related consultation and diagnosis.
- Cause assessment process — ask which examinations or assessments are used to determine the cause.
- Treatment options — have the proposed methods and the criteria for choosing between them explained.
- Expected results and limitations — check specifically what changes are realistic and where the limits are.
- Risks and recovery — check the precautions for each treatment, the recovery process and aftercare guidance.
- Cost and extra charges — ask about consultation, examination and treatment fees and whether additional charges may apply.
- Clinician information — check the clinician's field of practice and HIRA registration details.
- Treatment plan — confirm the number of visits, the schedule and whether follow-up visits will be needed.
- Booking and access — check available appointment times, parking and public transport access.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Explanations that push one specific treatment unconditionally before any individual diagnosis or assessment, or that guarantee results.
- Failure to answer questions about a treatment's limitations, risks, alternatives or aftercare.
- Costs and extra charges that are hard to confirm before consultation, or explanations that are vague.
- The same treatment proposed regardless of the patient's condition, with no explanation of why it was chosen.
These are general points to check during a consultation and do not constitute an assessment of any particular clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this data establish a definitive ranking of clinics that are good at gummy smile treatment?
No. The provided data contains no gummy smile case volume or treatment outcomes. Reviews and ratings are reference material for looking at patients' experience of a clinic, and they cannot be used as a basis for ranking expertise in that treatment.
Is this a list of recommended dental clinics across Jeon-guk (전국)?
No. All five clinics included in the data are described as being located in Seoul. This is not a survey of dental clinics nationwide, so it should not be read as a Jeon-guk recommendation ranking.
Why is 서울권치과의원 introduced first?
As requested, the clinic listed first in the source data, 서울권치과의원 (Seoul-gwon Dental Clinic), was placed first. The order does not imply gummy smile treatment outcomes or clinical superiority over the other clinics.
Do any of these clinics have English-speaking staff, and how should a foreign patient book?
The source data contains no language-support information, so it is not possible to confirm that any of the five clinics has English-speaking staff or a dedicated international patient service. Call the clinic directly using the numbers above, or use its booking page, and ask whether English-speaking staff or an interpreter can be arranged, then confirm the appointment time, estimated costs and what to bring. Because support varies by clinic, it must be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's booking page before you travel.
Which clinic has the most reviews?
Adding together the Naver, Kakao and Google review counts provided, 더스퀘어치과의원 (The Square Dental Clinic) has 2,770. This figure excludes blog reviews, and a high review count does not indicate suitability or effectiveness of treatment.
What should I ask before visiting?
Ask whether the clinic provides gummy smile treatment, how the cause is assessed, what the treatment options and their limitations are, the cost, recovery and aftercare, and booking and parking details. Information not provided here, such as each clinic's lunch hours and some addresses, also needs to be confirmed directly with the clinic.
Final Notes
In this article, 서울권치과의원 (Seoul-gwon Dental Clinic) was presented first as requested, and the reviews, ratings, locations and available specialist information of five dental clinics in Seoul were compared. However, the collected data contains no gummy smile-specific treatment information, so no "best clinic" ranking or judgment of treatment effectiveness can be made. Before an actual visit, consult the clinic directly about whether it provides the relevant treatment and about an individual treatment plan, and use reviews and ratings only as reference material. This article summarizes the provided clinic information and user reviews and does not replace diagnosis or treatment advice. Last updated: 2026-11-04
