General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ? General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — Not verified
Summary
Hospital-grade dental practice (chigwa-byeongwon) one minute from Seomyeon Station, organised as two specialist departments — orthodontics and TMJ under a board-certified orthodontist, and implants and prosthodontics under a board-certified prosthodontist. The site is English-language and describes CEREC, navigation-guided implant placement and 3D CT diagnostics. Registered with HIRA as Sieseu Chigwa-byeongwon, provider code 21400351, opened 2014-12-15.
The Hangul name Sieseu Chigwa-byeongwon ('CS Dental Hospital' written in Hangul) is published by the clinic itself on its About page, so the Latin form is the clinic's own. The site also carries a large set of skin and aesthetic pages under -korea/-seoul URLs; only the dental pages, whose address and phone match the HIRA register entry, were used. The site describes the hospital as having served patients 'for over 28 years' while HIRA records the institution's opening date as 2014-12-15 — the doctors page attributes the 28 years to the prosthodontist's own experience, so this was recorded as a wording overlap rather than a contradiction. Coordinates come from the HIRA register, not from a Google Maps place page; the place page is.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |

| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Jeon Hyun-jun — board-certified orthodontist, Ph.D. in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Pusan National University; Kim Seong-uk — board-certified prosthodontist, Pusan National University School of Dentistry. [s2] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | English website version The whole site is in English. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s3] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Refuted and reversed 2026-09-06. The research pass read only the English site busandentist.com, which publishes no figures, and recorded false. The hospital's Google Business Profile links a second domain, cleansmile.co.kr, which is the same practice on its own evidence: it publishes the name Sieseu Chigwa-byeongwon, the card's exact address (3F Pungnyeon Building, 15 Seomyeon-ro 68beon-gil), business registration 607-19-72398 and representatives Jeon Hyun-jun and Kim Seong-uk - the card's two dentists. Its /cost page carries a pinned non-covered treatment fee notice whose fee table, served as an image, was read in the browser: a full itemised schedule with an item code, a sub-category and a won figure against every line. [s6] [s7] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Tartar removal (scaling): per 1/3 arch 25,000; upper arch 30,000; lower arch 30,000; full mouth 60,000 won. [s7] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | Crown price listed Crowns: PFM 450,000; all-ceramic 700,000; Zirconia 500,000 won. Inlay (porcelain/ceramic) 300,000 and onlay 350,000 are listed separately. [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Dental implant, per tooth: PFM 850,000; all-ceramic 1,900,000; Zirconia 1,200,000 won. [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The fee table was read in full and carries no consultation or examination line; it begins at dental procedure and surgery fees and ends at certificate fees. [s7] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed CT scan 100,000 won, listed as its own category. This is the price of taking the scan, not the certificate fee for a copy of an existing image, which the table lists separately. [s7] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 25 five-star, 1 four-star, 1 three-star, 0 two-star, 2 one-star. The buckets sum to 29, matching the 29 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.621 reproduces the published 4.6. [gmp1] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 3 months old, which proves the within-3-months bucket and no better. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. A newest-first sort was not available; a re-check on the Reviews tab returned the same three reviews, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replied to all three reviews Google renders, including the one-star one. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. A newest-first sort was not available; a re-check on the Reviews tab returned the same three reviews, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One critical review in the visible sample (3 months old: the reviewer objects to a 100,000 won charge for examination and scan and says the implant consultation proposed extracting many teeth). It is a single grievance over a 29-review base carrying two one-star ratings, not a repeated theme, and the owner answered it by name. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. A newest-first sort was not available; a re-check on the Reviews tab returned the same three reviews, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. A newest-first sort was not available; a re-check on the Reviews tab returned the same three reviews, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence Not established: the Facebook address on the clinic's website (facebook.com/csimplant) leads to no page, and none was found under its website name; Facebook itself could not be searched (checked 2026-10-02). | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "CS Dental Hospital Busan" and "CS Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [cs-dental-hospital-busan-tripadvisor] [cs-dental-hospital-busan-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Listed on Naver Place, South Korea's main local review platform, with 1,206 visitor reviews. [cs-dental-hospital-busan-presence] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray HIRA's equipment register records a cone-beam CT at this institution; the clinic's own About page lists 3D CT. [reg2] [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) Returned by the HIRA institution search filtered on equipment code 12 (cone-beam CT) for Busan / dental hospital; the site states 3D CT and navigation-guided placement. [reg2] [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Braces, Invisalign and partial orthodontics under a board-certified orthodontist. [s1] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Navigation-guided implant surgery; the orthodontic director holds a Ph.D. in oral and maxillofacial surgery. [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Growth-stage orthodontics for children is offered, but no paediatric dentistry service is listed. [s1] [s5] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care The clinic states it works by appointment; no emergency or walk-in service is documented, and the orthodontic department is closed on Thursdays. [s3] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients "International patients welcome", Korean and English consultation. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Booking is by phone or Naver; no WhatsApp or LINE contact is published. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] [s3] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible A "Free Consulting" enquiry route is offered from every page. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations [s4] [s5] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Orthodontics Mon and Fri to 19:00 and Sat 09:30–17:30; implants and prosthodontics Sat 09:00–17:00. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Korea", "English speaking dentist Korea", "dental implants Korea", "emergency dentist Korea", "Korea dental clinic for expats".

| ✓ | Dedicated service pages More than thirty separate service and condition pages (one-day implant, navigation implant, Invisalign by malocclusion type, TMJ splint therapy, gothic arch examination and so on). [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: HIRA provider code 21400351 — CS Dental Hospital, dental hospital, individually owned, opened 2014-12-15, registered with HIRA at Busan, Busanjin-gu, Seomyeon-ro 68beon-gil 15, 3rd floor (Bujeon-dong). (Verified live on 2026-09-04 in the HIRA register's detailed-criteria institution search (region = Busan, type = dental hospital, institution name = 'Sieseu', typed in Hangul): exactly one result, whose address and phone number match the clinic's own visiting-information page. The clinic does not publish a business registration number. Korea has no clinic operating-licence number separate from the HIRA provider code, and the register is queried live, so no snapshot date applies.) [reg1] [s2]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence re-checked: presence on other review platforms — yes. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
| 2026-09-06 | Checked by hand in a browser: Google Maps place page read live; the listing's website field led to the hospital's Korean-language site cleansmile.co.kr, whose non-covered treatment fee notice carries a full itemised fee table as an image - refuting the research pass's finding that the hospital publishes no prices. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection for the Korea Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via busandentist.com (about, doctors, contact and service pages) and against the HIRA national institution register (provider code 21400351). No public per-dentist licence search exists in South Korea, so both specialists' licence numbers are recorded as unverified rather than as a negative finding. Google Maps reputation fields and the map pin were not obtainable automatically and are queued for a manual browser check. |
