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) in Centum City, Haeundae-gu, built around digital full-arch implant work. The clinic states a 350-pyeong floor with 17 chairs, an in-house education centre and a live-surgery programme, and publishes a Matterport virtual tour of the premises. Registered with HIRA as Segyero Chigwa-byeongwon, provider code 21400300, opened 2013-08-30.
The clinic publishes the Latin form SEGYERO DENTAL HOSPITAL itself on its homepage, so no romanisation was invented for the institution name. The three dentists' names are published only in Hangul, in the clinic's own schema.org markup; the Latin forms given alongside them here are Revised Romanization and are labelled as such. The site is Korean-only. 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).
Information Transparency
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Jeong Dong-geun, Lee Hae-jun and Kim Ji-hyeon are named in the clinic's own schema.org Person entries, each tied to the hospital as employer. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Jeong Dong-geun — hospital director, Ph.D. in dentistry, board-certified specialist in Advanced General Dentistry; Lee Hae-jun — board-certified specialist in Advanced General Dentistry; Kim Ji-hyeon — dentist, member of the Korean academies of conservative dentistry, prosthodontics, esthetic dentistry and periodontology. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Photographs of the premises plus a Matterport virtual tour of the hospital published by the clinic. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Full-arch and computer-analysed implants, bone-graft implants, GBT powder scaling, one-day crowns, one-day caries treatment, laminates and aesthetic work, root canal treatment, clear aligners, prosthetic aftercare. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone 051.782.2825 and both the road-name and lot-number addresses; the phone and address match the HIRA register. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site has no language switcher and no English pages; navigation and content are Korean-only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s2] | 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 The hospital publishes a complete non-covered fee schedule as a pinned notice on its own board. It is a single image, so no HTTP client sees the figures; it was opened and read on 2026-09-07. Seven sections: implant treatment (11 lines), bone grafting (6), prosthetic treatment (10), conservative treatment (9), denture treatment (4), paediatric treatment (3) and cosmetic treatment (8). Every line carries a won figure. [y1a] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed The published fee table carries no scaling or cleaning line. That is expected rather than evasive — scaling is a covered (nationally insured) item in Korea and so does not belong on a non-covered schedule — but the criterion asks what the reader can see, and a cleaning price is not published. The nearest paediatric preventive lines, pit-and-fissure sealing and fluoride application, are KRW 50,000 each and are sealant and fluoride, not cleaning. Read 2026-09-07. [y1a] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Priced in the conservative treatment section: resin, anterior KRW 150,000; resin, molar KRW 100,000; resin, premolar KRW 70,000; resin, extensive molar KRW 250,000; Icon resin KRW 150,000; PIT (small extent) KRW 50,000. Read from the image 2026-09-07. [y1a] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Priced in the prosthetic treatment section: 'World Class' ZIR. CR (A/S 5 years) KRW 1,000,000, 'Premium' ZIR. CR (A/S 3 years) KRW 800,000, 'One-day' ZIR. CR (A/S 2 years) KRW 700,000, 'Basic' ZIR. CR (A/S 2 years) KRW 600,000; also CERAMIC INLAY KRW 300,000, CERAMIC ONLAY KRW 350,000, CORE KRW 50,000, POST KRW 100,000. Read from the image 2026-09-07. [y1a] | 2/2 |

| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed The published fee table has no imaging line of any kind — no X-ray, panoramic or CT entry in any of its seven sections. Read 2026-09-07. [y1a] | 0/2 |
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: 59 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star, 3 one-star. The buckets sum to 64, matching the 64 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.750 reproduces the published 4.8. [gmp1] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | 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. 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 None of the 14 reviews read on Google carries an owner reply, including the 13 dated 2025-04-23 to 2026-09-28. [segyero-dental-hospital-busan-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the three reviews Google renders is critical. The histogram does carry four ratings of two stars or below out of 64 (6 per cent), and those are outside the visible sample, so this reading rests on the sample rather than on the whole base. 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 Active Facebook page, linked from the clinic's website: newest post 30 September 2026. [segyero-dental-hospital-busan-presence-2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "SEGYERO DENTAL HOSPITAL Busan" and "SEGYERO Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [segyero-dental-hospital-busan-tripadvisor] [segyero-dental-hospital-busan-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Listed on Naver Place, South Korea's main local review platform, with 479 visitor reviews. [segyero-dental-hospital-busan-presence] | 0.5/0.5 |

| ✓ | On-site X-ray HIRA's equipment register records a cone-beam CT at this institution. [reg2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) Returned by the HIRA institution search filtered on equipment code 12 (cone-beam CT) for Busan / dental hospital. [reg2] | 2/2 |

| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry No children's dentistry appears anywhere in the site navigation. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care The hospital states it operates on an appointment-first basis; no emergency or same-day route is documented, and it is closed Sundays and public holidays. [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Works with international patients The site addresses visiting dentists from abroad who come for training, not foreign patients; no foreign-patient service, language support or paperwork is documented. [s1] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Booking runs through phone, the site's own form, KakaoTalk and Naver; no WhatsApp or LINE. [s3] | 0/2 |

| ? | English spoken | 0/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Appointment-first operation with online, KakaoTalk and Naver enquiry routes. [s3] | 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 21400300 — SEGYERO DENTAL HOSPITAL, dental hospital, individually owned, opened 2013-08-30, registered with HIRA at Busan, Haeundae-gu, Centum dong-ro 102, Centum Feel 1, 2nd floor, Units 208-213 (Jaesong-dong). (Verified live on 2026-09-04 in the HIRA register's detailed-criteria institution search (region = Busan, type = dental hospital, institution name = 'Segyero', typed in Hangul): exactly one result, whose address and phone number match the clinic's own treatment information page. The clinic describes itself as a hospital-grade dental practice licensed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, consistent with the dental hospital classification in the register. 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 | Read 14 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: no owner replies seen. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence re-checked: presence on other review platforms — yes; Facebook presence — yes. |
| 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 | Close-out, 2026-09-07: navigation to segyerodental.com, refused to, now works; the pinned non-covered fee schedule board post was opened and its fee table read figure by figure, filling all seven priceTransparency fields. |
| 2026-09-06 | Checked by hand in a browser: the Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading, listing website, phone, address and pin coordinates; the checks that needed a rendering browser were worked through on the clinic's own channels. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection for the Korea Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via segyerodental.com (homepage, treatment information and directions pages) and against the HIRA national institution register (provider code 21400300). No public per-dentist licence search exists in South Korea, so the three dentists' 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. |
