If this is your situation right now — When a tooth feels loose When your gums bleed When teeth are sensitive First visit exam and cost Questions to ask before deciding on treatment
The staff were so kind and explained everything so well that I could get treatment with peace of mind! They placed my implant quickly and well, so the treatment wasn't hard on me. I think I'll come back again next time!!
An implant done at another dental clinic came out, so I came in urgently — everyone was so kind and it was great! The clinic I used to go to had suddenly disappeared(?!), but they kindly took good care of me ㅠㅠ I want to keep coming here from now on!!!
I think I've been coming to Boston Miso Dental Clinic in Uijeongbu since 2008 — they're kind and only do the treatment that's actually needed, at a reasonable price, so I trust them. The facility is clean too. This time I also got a front-tooth crown done, and it went smoothly with no discomfort. Thank you.

Boston Miso Dental Clinic in Uijeongbu saves the teeth that can be saved and considers the approach that removes less tooth first; we publish our out-of-pocket fees, and the lead dentist who made the diagnosis treats you personally from start to finish. Anesthesia is prepared in three steps — topical anesthesia, computer-controlled anesthesia (i-JECT) and intraosseous anesthesia (QuickSleeper) — and we are open until 9 p.m. on Thursdays. Pick the question below that matches your concern to go to the detailed guide.
Boston Miso Dental Clinic in Uijeongbu approaches failed-implant revision by first using 3D CT to find the cause of failure (the crown, the bite, peri-implantitis, or the position); if the implant can be saved we save it, and if not we remove it while preserving as much bone as possible, then place a new one.
Boston Miso Dental Clinic in Uijeongbu first checks whether the root is cracked, whether 1.5–2mm of tooth structure remains to hold a crown, and whether the infection comes from inside the root canal; if the tooth can be saved we save it with root canal retreatment, and if trying to save it would do more harm than good, we explain why and recommend extraction.

BOSTON MISO DENTAL We provide treatment that lasts, so you don't come back for the same reason.
Not just today's treatment,
we design your everyday life 10 years from now
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.
Dr. Jongbum Lee, Clinic Director, Boston Miso Dental Clinic
We keep records from before and after treatment and of subsequent progress. When an outcome differs from expectations, we also look for the cause and apply what we learn to future decisions.
With before-and-after photos, we share what concerns patients had and how they were resolved, along with dental information worth knowing. We have published 76 pieces so far.
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 (i-JECT) → intraosseous anesthesia (QuickSleeper), 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 have gathered the 8 questions we are most often asked before a first visit. They answer how to get an implant consultation and book an appointment, after-work hours and treatment time, whether a tooth really has to be extracted, whether Minish removes a lot of tooth, whether we will re-examine an implant done at another clinic, and what standards we follow to avoid overtreatment. Tap a question to open the answer.
We are open until 7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, until 9 p.m. on Thursday and until 1 p.m. on Saturday (weekday lunch break 13:00-14:00, Thursday evening break 18:00-18:30), and closed on Sundays and public holidays.
