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 Website unreachable (HTTP 404 across all paths tried); could not research sedation offerings.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website https://clairedental.kr/ returns HTTP 200 (2026-09-06); the footer of every page gives the clinic's Hangul name (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon), the representative's name (Yuna Kim) and business registration number 307-62-00802. [cl1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The medical-team page names «Yuna KIM, head director» and «Beom Ju Lee, director» (a third entry, Gang Baek-ho, is a dental technician, not a dentist). [cl1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The medical-team page gives Yuna Kim as «board-certified specialist in Advanced General Dentistry / aesthetic prosthodontics» and Beom Ju Lee as «integrated dentistry / oral surgery», each with a listed training record. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The site nav publishes 'Claire Glow' laminates, 'Claire Blanc' whitening, 'Petit' gum and tooth contouring, 'Claire Quick' orthodontics and general treatment, each on its own page. [cl1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Footer of every page: tel:82-2-555-2879, clairedentalkr@gmail.com, 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, plus KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, LINE, Instagram and Naver Place links. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Every page is lang="ko-KR" and sitemap.xml carries no English route; English appears only inside single board images (uid=17 price table, uid=19 veneer aftercare), not as a version of the site. [cl1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published /contact/ publishes the street address, walking directions from Exit 7 of Seolleung Station and parking, with an embedded Google map (a maps.google.com embed queried on the address 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul). [cl1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
9 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published /event/?mod=document&uid=18, titled «Claire Dental non-covered fee notice» (posted 2026-06-08), is a standing fee table of 12 items in units of KRW 10,000 across caries treatment / aesthetic treatment / implants — published as a rendered image, not as text. [cl1] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Scaling or tartar removal appears neither on the non-covered fee notice table nor anywhere else on the site (in Korea scaling is an insured item and so falls outside a non-covered fee list). [cl1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Non-covered fee notice, in units of KRW 10,000: cervical resin 8, posterior resin 10, anterior resin 15, ceramic hybrid inlay 24. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Non-covered fee notice: zirconia crown KRW 400,000, ceramic crown KRW 600,000. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Non-covered fee notice: implant «Osstem BA» KRW 590,000, with «maxillary sinus surgery + 50~70» noted alongside. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The non-covered fee notice table lists no consultation fee, and no page states that a consultation is free. [cl1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No X-ray or other imaging price appears on the non-covered fee notice table or on any page of the site. [cl1] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
16 / 20
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: 198 five-star, 3 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 201, matching the 201 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.985 reproduces the published 5.0. [gmp1] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. The card previously held 181, read on 2026-08-26 — the listing has grown since. [gmp1] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 2 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. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 10 reviews read on Google carries an owner reply, including the 10 dated 2026-04-14 to 2026-10-02. [gangnam-claire-dental-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No repeated complaint theme appears in the visible sample. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The clean 198/3/0/0/0 wall was examined rather than assumed: the three visible reviewers are Local Guides holding 201, 10 and 159 reviews of their own, their wording and the treatments they describe differ, and their dates are spread across three months — no manipulation signature. The shape is recorded here because a zero-count three-, two- and one-star row over a 201-review base is unusual on its face. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence Not established: the clinic's website (13 pages read 2026-10-02) links no Facebook page and none was found under its website or Instagram name; Facebook itself could not be searched that day. | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Claire Dental Clinic Seoul" and "Claire Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [gangnam-claire-dental-tripadvisor] [gangnam-claire-dental-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Listed on Naver Place, Korea's main local review platform, with 412 visitor reviews; the clinic's own site links this profile. [gangnam-claire-dental-platforms] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
8 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray | 0/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology /base/ section 04, 'Implants', describes implant placement (in the site's words, «placing an artificial tooth root (implant) where a tooth has been lost»), and the fee table carries an implant line (Osstem BA). [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics /quick/ («Claire Quick orthodontics») publishes a 3–6 month aligner programme and states, in the site's words, «Claire Dental is an officially certified Invisalign and Seraphin dental clinic». [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery /base/ section 03, 'Extraction', covers wisdom-tooth and impacted-tooth extraction, Director Beom Ju Lee is listed under integrated dentistry / oral surgery, and the fee table prices maxillary sinus surgery. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry No children’s dentistry appears in the nav or on any service page; Dr Lee’s CV lists a paediatric dentistry seminar, which is a credential rather than a published service. [cl1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care No emergency or same-day-appointment service anywhere on the site; the «same-day treatment» wording on /gum/ and /white/ describes procedures finished in one visit, not urgent access. [cl1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients /cashjp/ is a full Japanese-language patient page (the clinic named in Japanese as 'Kurea Shika', hours, map, telephone number 02-555-2879), and the board publishes aftercare in English, Japanese, Chinese and Thai (uid=19, uid=20) plus an English «CLAIRE DENTAL CLINIC Promotion» price table (uid=17). [cl1] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
7 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available The footer of every page links WhatsApp (api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=821055632875) and LINE (line.me/R/ti/p/@585rahmh), next to a KakaoTalk channel. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic publishes its own patient material in English: the «CLAIRE DENTAL CLINIC Promotion» fee table (uid=17) and «Aftercare Instructions For Veneer» (uid=19). [cl1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Treatment pages explain procedure and indications in plain language with side-effect warnings — /base/ walks caries from resin through inlay/onlay to a crown after root canal treatment, and /quick/ lists the drawbacks as well as the merits of each aligner system. [cl1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Published on every page: Mon/Wed/Fri 10:00–19:00, Tue/Thu 10:00–21:00, Sat 10:00–15:00, lunch break 13:00–14:30 — evening and Saturday hours. [cl1] | 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.

| cl1 | https://clairedental.kr/ | The clinic's current live site (HTTP 200 on 2026-09-06), reached from its Google listing. Every page footer identifies the practice as Claire Dental Clinic, representative Yuna Kim, business registration number 307-62-00802, Seoul, Gangnam-gu, Seolleung-ro 507, Buil Tower 4F, +82-2-555-2879 and clairedentalkr@gmail.com — the HIRA-registered name, the registered address and the registry landline, and the same e-mail the card already held. JSON-LD on the home page repeats the address, the telephone and the e-mail. Pages read in full: /, /about/, a medical-staff-introduction page, /contact/, /edition/, /white/, /gum/, /quick/, /base/, /port1/, /cashjp/ (Japanese-language patient page), an inquiry-board page (numbered 11, a 1:1 consultation board) and the /event/ board including uid=18 (a standing non-covered fee notice), uid=17 English price table, uid=16 Japanese price notice, uid=19/20 multilingual aftercare and uid=12/13/14 (partner-hospital agreements with Gangnam Severance, Ewha Womans University's Mokdong and Seoul hospitals, and Korea University Guro).

| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read 10 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: no owner replies seen. |
| 2026-10-02 | Website structure read on 2026-10-02: business structured data found. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies; active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
| 2026-09-07 | Display name changed from «Gangnam Claire Dental Clinic» to «Claire Dental Clinic» followed by the Hangul registered name (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon) in parentheses, under the methodology's naming rule (name = the form the clinic uses for itself; the Latin alias in parentheses where the clinic publishes one — here inverted, because the registered form is the Korean one). The clinic writes itself «CLAIRE DENTAL CLINIC» in its own English material on clairedental.kr (the /event/ price board and the uid=19 aftercare page, source cl1) and Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon, in Hangul, in its site footer and in the HIRA register (provider code 11598948). «Gangnam» was never part of the clinic’s own name — it is the district, and it stays in the slug, the address and the summary only. The slug gangnam-claire-dental is unchanged, so no URL moves. The English, Korean and Russian summaries already name the clinic by its registered name (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon) rather than by the old display name and were not edited. |
| 2026-09-07 | Reputation block written from the live measurement taken on 2026-09-06, which read this clinic’s Google Maps place page but could not write to it: the twin carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js left it untouched and the figures stayed in the trail (browser/korea-japan.md, «Open for the gate» item 2). Written now: googleRating 5.0 → 5.0, googleReviewCount 181 → 201 (histogram 198/3/0/0/0 = 201, weighted mean 4.985), respondsToReviews → false, reviewRecency → within_3_months, recurringComplaints → false, suspiciousReviewPatterns → false. The country twin on korea-dental was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |
| 2026-09-06 | 2026-09-06: re-captured 27 fields from live clairedental.kr; website/phone corrected; see E2. Identity confirmed before capture: the site’s footer and JSON-LD give Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon, representative Yuna Kim, 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul and +82-2-555-2879 — the HIRA-registered name, address and landline — and clairedentalkr@gmail.com, the e-mail already on the card; its WhatsApp link carries phone=821055632875, the mobile the card already held. Of the 27 fields nulled on 2026-09-06 because their only sources were two 404 domains, 20 are re-captured true and 7 false; none is left null. contacts.website moved from the dead https://www.seoulsmileveneers.com/ to https://clairedental.kr/; contacts.phone moved from the mobile +82-10-5563-2875 to the published landline +82-2-555-2879 (the mobile stays as contacts.whatsapp, which is exactly what the site’s WhatsApp button dials); contacts.line filled from the footer link. The red flag opaque_prices is removed: /event/?mod=document&uid=18 publishes a standing non-covered fee notice table with 12 priced items (in units of KRW 10,000: resin 8/10/15, ceramic hybrid inlay 24, zirconia crown 40, ceramic crown 60, laminate 55, Osstem BA implant 59), so prices are no longer opaque. Doctor roster re-pointed to the live site: the clinic’s current medical-team page lists Yuna KIM (head director) and Beom Ju Lee (director) in the integrated-dentistry/oral-surgery role. Dr Hyun Kyu Kang, whose only support was the two dead domains, is no longer on the clinic’s published roster and is removed; Gang Baek-ho, also on that page, is a dental technician and is not recorded as a dentist. Sources s1 and gangnam-claire-dental-linkrot are kept and marked DEAD in their supports text; both were re-confirmed HTTP 404 on 2026-09-06. Untouched: licensing.clinicLicense (HIRA), reputation.google*, aiMention_*, googleIndexingQuality and geo. Not evidenced by the site and therefore left as they were: realClinicPhotos, hasXray, hasCBCT, offersSedation, responseSpeed, preConsultationPossible, hasStructuredData, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints, suspiciousReviewPatterns, onTripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-06 | Owner decision: both domains this card's transparency rested on are dead — englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com (source s1) has returned HTTP 404 since 2026-08-25 and seoulsmileveneers.com (source gangnam-claire-dental-linkrot, also the recorded contacts.website) since 2026-09-04, both re-confirmed 404 on 2026-09-06. All 27 criteria fields whose only support was one of those two pages have been set to null rather than left asserting a website that does not exist; the engine treats null more gently than false, so this does not penalise the clinic. Untouched: the HIRA registry line (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon, provider code 11598948, 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, opening date 2025-12-16), the Google Maps reputation figures and the search-visibility fields, none of which depend on the dead domains. Recorded for the re-capture: the clinic's Google listing publishes a working site, clairedental.kr (HTTP 200 on 2026-09-06), with phone +82 2-555-2879 and address 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu — exactly what HIRA holds, and the landline rather than the mobile the card carries. Nothing was captured from clairedental.kr in this pass; re-shooting the 27 fields from it is a separate, later step. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com (s1, s2) confirmed dead. This clinic already has a different, live, already-correct contacts.website on file (seoulsmileveneers.com) - re-fetched and read directly 2026-08-26, confirms both doctors by name/specialization, address, phone/WhatsApp (exact match), and the full previously-cited service range (implants, orthodontics, oral surgery, pediatric, emergency, English/international service, no published prices, dedicated per-treatment pages). Re-cited 17 of the 19 s1-sourced criteria facts and s2's 2 facts (offersEmergency, dedicatedServicePages) onto seoulsmileveneers.com - no value changes, this is a like-for-like re-verification via an already-recorded alternate domain, not staged as a contacts.website change since that field is already correct. reputation.onFacebook and reputation.onOtherPlatforms (Facebook/other platforms not mentioned on seoulsmileveneers.com) are left unresolved. Added seoulsmileveneers.com as an additional source on both doctors. s2 pruned (no longer cited by anything). s1 NOT pruned: it remains cited via both doctors (union-merge) and the existing redFlag (opaque_prices, which cannot be edited - no delta-v1 write path for redFlags[]). Noted for the record, not staged: Google Maps also surfaces a third live domain, clairedental.kr, for a same-address/phone but more cosmetically-branded "Claire Dental" presentation with a narrower, unconfirmed service list - not used as a source given the material difference from the fuller seoulsmileveneers.com content. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 2 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/]: https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/ (HTTP 404, rotten) | s2 [https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/general-dentistry-seoul/emergency-dental-care]: https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/general-dentistry-seoul/emergency-dental-care (HTTP 404, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26 against HIRA (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service): clinic confirmed as registered Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon at the address on file, despite its own website now returning HTTP 404. No public name-searchable dentist licence register exists in South Korea (lic.mohw.go.kr is document/barcode verification only) — both named doctors left null with that note. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: stored website https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/ is DEAD (HTTP 404 on root). Identified and confirmed the clinic's current live site at https://www.seoulsmileveneers.com/ — it prominently names 'Gangnam Claire Dental Clinic' with matching address (4F, Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu) and matching phone (+82-10-5563-2875); recorded as corrected website. Confirmed via Google Maps ('Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon' / Claire Dental Clinic, clairedental.kr) that the clinic is open, rating 5.0 (181 reviews), same address/phone; name, address, and phone otherwise unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/ returns HTTP 404 on root, /home, and /index.html — site appears dead. No successor site could be identified: Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yandex/Mojeek/Brave/web.archive.org were all blocked, rate-limited, or CAPTCHA-walled on the date of reading. Address, phone, and Google reputation could not be reconfirmed. Operating status unclear pending a working search route. |
