Do I have to get a CBCT on my first visit to the dentist?

No. Most judgments are made with the Q-ray and a panoramic X-ray, and a CBCT is added on the same day only when the position of bone and nerve canal is needed, such as for an implant or an impacted wisdom tooth.

The anesthetic injection hurts so much. Can it be made less painful?

Yeonhap Dental Clinic reduces needle irritation and injection pressure in three steps: gargle, ointment, and an automated anesthesia device. We do not say the pain will be zero, but we do not skip any step.

Do you also start treatment on the first day?

Not unless it is an emergency. We give you the diagnosis and an estimate, and you make the decision.

The Cham Clinic Building parking lot is the default, and when it is full, you can park in 3 spots: near the building entrance, at the side, and in the first-floor parking spaces of the studio apartment building behind. We support parking for visiting patients.

TAPDONG DENTAL, FIRST VISIT

Dental Visit Consultation in Tap-dong We Tell You About Treatment You Don't Need on Day One

A 30-minute first visit. Look at the images, get an estimate, and you can decide at home.

First Visit

What happens on your first visit?

Yeonhap Dental Clinic is on the 5th floor of the Cham Clinic Building in Tap-dong, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon (across from Suwon NongHyup), where two Integrated Dentistry specialists see patients. The first day ends with three things: imaging, an explanation, and an estimate. We show you in images what to treat and what you do not need to treat, and we do not recommend same-day treatment.

30 Minutes

Check-in and questionnaire: 5 minutes.

Booking: 5 minutes. Until 20:30 on Mondays and 13:00 on Saturdays

Devices

Three Things We Use on Day One

We use equipment not to treat more, but to drill less and hurt less.

Imaging: Q-ray, panoramic, 3D CBCT

The Q-ray looks at early cavities and cracks, the panoramic X-ray at all the teeth and wisdom teeth, and the CBCT at bone thickness and distance to the nerve canal. A CBCT is taken only when needed, such as for an implant or an impacted wisdom tooth.

Yeonhap Dental Clinic's low-pain anesthesia system, the i-JECT automated anesthesia device with gargle anesthesia and ointment anesthesia added

Anesthesia: gargle → ointment → automated anesthesia device

The gargle lowers mucosal sensation, the ointment reduces needle irritation, and the automated anesthesia device (i-JECT) reduces injection pressure. If you are afraid of injections, please tell us at check-in.

Q-ray: cavities to treat, cavities to watch

Even when they look the same on the surface, the Q-ray shows an active cavity and an arrested cavity differently. We do not drill an arrested cavity; we watch it.

There are two reasons dental care feels burdensome

It comes down to sitting there without knowing what treatment you need or how much, and to the injection. The first day ends with looking at the images together and receiving an item-by-item estimate, and we divide anesthesia into steps starting with a gargle. The first day is for knowing, and treatment comes after. Treatment results may vary by individual oral condition. The evidence for the anesthesia steps and the low-speed drill is in What determines pain in implant surgery, the Q-ray reading procedure in Interpretation and limits of the Q-ray, and our criteria for recommending treatment in Dental Visit Consultation in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon.
