Core Treatments
What does Boston Miso Dental Clinic mainly treat?
Implants · Implant RevisionWe diagnose by working backward from the final restoration (the crown that goes on top), and build up bone or gum tissue first if there isn't enough. Implants that failed elsewhere are revised by the same standard. MinishWe restore only the worn or damaged part of the tooth with a material close to natural tooth properties. We consider removing less tooth structure first, and use only genuine, certified material. Laminate VeneersWe change the color, shape and gaps of healthy front teeth together with thin ceramic. We first check whether the reshaping stays within the enamel; ₩600,000 per tooth. Restorations · CrownsWe cover root-canal-treated teeth or badly broken teeth with zirconia or ceramic, matching bite height and the gumline so they need to be remade less often.

What does Boston Miso Dental Clinic set in numbers before treating?
So that decisions aren't left to the dentist's gut feeling, we publish the standards we use in diagnosis as numbers. One Clinic Director then applies those standards personally, from diagnosis through aftercare.
| Assessment | Numeric standard | So this is what we do | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| How deep to place the implant | 6–7mm from the final gum line to the implant post (fixture) | We calculate gum thickness, the remaining bone and even how much the gum will settle after surgery, then place the implant at a depth that leaves enough length for the biologic width and the emergence profile. | Clinic standard |
| Why gum thickness matters | Bone loss around thin gums (2mm or less) about 1.6mm; around thick gums about 0.3mm | Thin gums make the bone more likely to recede first, so we decide the placement depth and gum reinforcement together. | Linkevicius 2009 |
| How much to lift the sinus | The implant post (fixture) length needed at a position that keeps the 6–7mm depth | We set the lift height only by the amount the remaining bone falls short of that length; if the shortfall is small we approach through the implant hole, and if it is large, through a side window. | Clinic standard |
| Whether to graft bone on the same day as implant placement | At least 2–3mm of margin between the implant post (fixture) and the bone boundary | If the margin is short, we use a narrower implant or place it further inward; if that is still not enough, we build the bone first and place the implant afterwards. | Clinic standard |
| Whether to reinforce a thin bone wall | Remaining bone wall thickness of 1mm | If it is thinner than 1mm, we expect it to resorb and cover the outside with a thick layer of bone graft. | Chappuis 2013 |
| When to plan after an extraction | Bone width shrinks by an average of 3.8mm within 6 months after extraction | We make the implant plan before the tooth is removed, so the bone can be used before it shrinks. | Tan 2012 |
| What we base implant longevity on | 10-year survival rate about 96%; peri-implantitis in about 22% of patients | The fixture warranty is 10 years for Straumann and 7 years for Osstem SOI, conditional on regular check-up visits so that peri-implantitis can be caught early. | Howe 2019 · Derks 2015 |
| When the cost is finalized | From ₩890,000 per implant, with every additional fee published | After the 3D CT diagnosis, we add up only the items you need and give you the total in writing before surgery; no items are added during surgery. | Clinic standard |
| Whether a tooth can hold a crown | At least 1.5–2mm of sound tooth structure above the gum | If there is not enough, we either adjust the gum level (crown lengthening) to make room or consider extraction. | Clinic standard |
| Whether the alveolar bone can support the tooth | Bone loss reaching half of the root length | If more than half is lost and the tooth is very loose, we lean toward extraction rather than saving it. | Clinic standard |
| Whether to try root canal retreatment first | Complete healing after root canal retreatment: 76.7% | If the root is not split vertically and the cause of the inflammation is inside the root canal, we recommend root canal retreatment before extraction. | Ng 2008 |
| If inflammation remains even after retreatment | About 3mm of the root tip removed | We open the gum, remove the root tip together with the inflamed tissue, and seal the end of the root (apicoectomy). | Clinic standard |
| How to restore front teeth | Tooth reduction: laminate veneers about 3–30%, crowns about 63–72% | We first check whether it can be done in order of least reduction: whitening → composite resin → Minish → laminate veneers → crown. | Edelhoff 2002 |
| How far to reshape for laminate veneers | Survival rate 99% when kept within the enamel; about 10 times more failures when bonded to dentin | Before designing, we first check whether the reshaping stays within the enamel. | Gurel 2013 |
| When to bond resin or laminate veneers after whitening | 2–3 weeks after whitening | Bonding strength is weaker right after whitening, so we settle the shade first and bond to match it a few weeks later. | Savian 2021 |
| How we give anesthesia | 3 steps for every procedure that needs anesthesia | We prepare in the order topical gel → computer-controlled injection → intraosseous anesthesia, so treatment starts with less pain. | Clinic standard |
“Clinic standard” means a standard Boston Miso Dental Clinic uses in diagnosis; author and year indicate external literature. The actual decision is based on 3D CT and the tooth condition we check directly, and it can differ from person to person.

We provide treatment that lasts, so you don't come back for the same reason.
Greeting
Does this tooth really need to come out?
It's the question I hear most often in the treatment room.
And it's also the one I spend the most time thinking about.
In dentistry, some things can be undone, and some cannot.
Tooth structure that's been removed doesn't grow back, and a tooth that's gone doesn't return.
That's where I always stop and think once more.
Even if it takes a little more effort, is there still a way to save it?
Fast treatment has rarely been good treatment.
A spot patched over in a hurry eventually opens again,
and the person sitting back in that chair is always the patient.
Rather than what's easy today, we want to give you treatment you won't regret ten years from now.
And I stand by that judgment to the end.
When the person who diagnoses, the person who treats, and the person who follows up are different people,
the reason behind the decision gets lost somewhere along the way.
That's why I see every patient myself, from the first visit to the last check-up.
If you've been putting off treatment out of fear, we'll start by making the anesthesia hurt less.
A place where sitting in the dental chair feels a little less frightening,
a place where hearing the explanation puts your mind at ease.
That's the dental clinic we want to be in Uijeongbu for years to come.

This was my first time getting a powder cleaning, so I wanted to leave a review. It's right by Uijeongbu Station on the 2nd floor, so it's easy to get to, and the clinic is clean and spacious. After the purple solution is applied and rinsed off, the problem spots on the gums and teeth stand out more, and the final rinse with lukewarm water felt really refreshing. Doing a pre-cleaning first seemed to make it faster, and the scraping felt less like metal-on-metal than I expected. Would recommend~

I had treatment for worn-down notches in my teeth, and I'm leaving a review because I was satisfied with the whole process. When I entered the treatment room, the dentist explained clearly and in detail what condition my teeth were in and how today's treatment would proceed, so I felt at ease trusting them with it. After the treatment, too, they carefully walked me through how to care for the worn areas going forward, what to watch out for, and what to expect. I recommend this clinic to anyone worried about worn-down teeth.

They told me my wisdom tooth was near a nerve, so I was really worried before the extraction, but it came out so much faster and safer than I expected — I really liked that! In particular, it was my first time getting the anesthesia that barely hurt, and it was honestly surprising how little it hurt. I usually get nervous even about the numbing shot, so I felt like all that tension was for nothing. They pulled the wisdom tooth quickly and also did a thorough cleaning and tartar removal, so overall I was very satisfied!! I'd recommend this to anyone who's worried about a wisdom tooth extraction~!

Q & A
What do patients in Uijeongbu ask us most often?
We first check the condition of the jawbone and the remaining teeth with a panoramic X-ray and intraoral photos, then explain the available options along with their pros and cons. Our Clinic Director personally handles everything from the first consultation to post-treatment care. Related guide →
Yes. If a tooth can be saved, our principle is to consider preservation first. Even if you were told elsewhere that extraction was necessary, we recommend a second look with imaging. That said, extraction may be unavoidable if the root is fractured or very little bone remains. Learn more →
Yes, we have evening hours on Thursdays until 21:00. Other days run until 19:00 (13:00 on Saturdays), and we're closed Sundays and public holidays. Evening slots fill up quickly, so we recommend making an appointment ahead through NAVER Booking or by phone. Related guide →
It depends on the type of treatment and your oral condition. Implants typically take 2–4 months, or 4–6 months longer if bone grafting comes first. At your consultation we'll lay out the expected timeline and number of visits, and you can see how long similar cases took on our articles page. Learn more →
How much is removed depends on the condition of the tooth. We always review the less-invasive option first and widen the scope only if needed. We match the shape and shade beforehand. Related guide →
You can make an appointment through NAVER Booking or by phone. For first visits we set aside plenty of time for your exam and consultation, so we recommend making an appointment in advance. Learn more →
Yes. It doesn't matter where it was placed. Revision is harder than the first surgery because the bone has already shrunk and the existing implant post must come out, so we first use 3D CT to find the cause of failure (crown, bite, peri-implantitis, position), save it if we can, and if removal is needed, we remove it while preserving bone, rebuild the bone, and place a new implant. Related guide →
We always consider the option that removes and extracts less first. We review your 3D CT and Qray results with you on screen, preserve teeth that can be saved, and explain exactly why treatment is needed before proceeding. All fees not covered by national health insurance are published on this website. Learn more →
