About Daol Dental Clinic
Before pulling a tooth, we think once more about how to save it.
What kind of dental clinic is Daol?
Daol Dental Clinic is a dental clinic in Janggi-dong, Gimpo, near Janggi Station on the Gimpo Goldline. Dr. Moon Heesam, a board-certified specialist in Integrated Dentistry, treats patients, and our rule is to check whether a tooth can be saved before pulling or grinding it. Since opening in 2015, we have practiced at the same location for 12 years and have placed over 5,000 implants.
How do you decide on treatment?
We decide based on four principles: saving natural teeth, accurate diagnosis, clear explanation, and reducing discomfort. We lay out the possible options and explain, with your test results on screen, why we recommend a particular one.
Who will treat me?
Dr. Moon Heesam — Representative Director
Board-certified specialist in Integrated Dentistry (Ministry of Health and Welfare, Korea)
Dr. Moon Heesam recommends only the treatment you need, and explains the reason first.
Consultations are mainly in Korean. Dr. Moon Heesam can communicate in English at an intermediate level, so you can ask about your diagnosis and treatment in English. If you would like a more detailed explanation, please come with someone who speaks Korean or use a translation app.

I am afraid of the dentist. Can I still be treated?
Yes. We reduce pain with a 4-step anesthesia system, and for patients with strong anxiety we consider conscious sedation. During sedation, oxygen saturation and pulse are monitored continuously, and you rest in a recovery room before going home.
