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.

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 reads «클레어치과의원 · 대표자명: 김유나 · 사업자등록번호 307-62-00802». [cl1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed /의료진소개/ names «김유나(Yuna KIM) 대표원장» and «이범주(Beom Ju Lee) 원장» (a third entry, 강백호, is 치과기공사 — a dental technician, not a dentist). [cl1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed /의료진소개/ gives 김유나 as «통합치의학 전문의 / 심미보철» and 이범주 as «통합과/외과», each with a listed training record. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The site nav publishes 클레어 글로우 라미네이트, 클레어 블랑 치아미백, 쁘띠 잇몸&치아 성형, 클레어 퀵 교정 and 일반진료, each on its own page. [cl1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Footer of every page: tel:82-2-555-2879, clairedentalkr@gmail.com, 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로 507 부일타워 4층, 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, 선릉역 7번 출구 walking directions and parking, with an embedded Google map (maps.google.com/maps?q=서울특별시 강남구 선릉로 507&output=embed). [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 «클레어치과 비급여 수가 안내» (posted 2026-06-08) is a standing fee table of 12 items in 만 원 across 충치치료 / 심미치료 / 임플란트 — published as a rendered image, not as text. [cl1] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed 스케일링 / 치석제거 appears neither on the 비급여 수가 안내 table nor anywhere else on the site (in Korea scaling is an insured 급여 item and so falls outside a non-covered fee list). [cl1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed 비급여 수가 안내: 서비컬 레진 8만 원, 구치부 레진 10, 전치부 레진 15, 세라믹 하이브리드 인레이 24. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed 비급여 수가 안내: 지르코니아 크라운 40만 원, 세라믹 크라운 60만 원. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed 비급여 수가 안내: 임플란트 «오스템 BA» 59만 원, with «상악동 수술 + 50~70» noted alongside. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The 비급여 수가 안내 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 비급여 수가 안내 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 The owner replied to none of the three reviews Google renders. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. [gmp1] | 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 The footer social row, identical on every page, is Naver Place, KakaoTalk, Instagram, WhatsApp and LINE — the site carries no Facebook link at all. [cl1] | 0/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Every page footer links the clinic’s own Naver Place hospital profile (m.place.naver.com/hospital/2086259932), Korea’s principal review platform, alongside Instagram @korea_clairedentalclinic_kr; the review count on that profile was not read (Naver answered HTTP 429 to this pass). [cl1] | 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 임플란트 describes implant placement («치아가 상실된 부위에 인공 치근(임플란트)을 식립»), and the fee table carries an 임플란트 line (오스템 BA). [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics /quick/ «클레어 퀵 교정» publishes a 3–6 month aligner programme and states «클레어치과는 인비절라인 세라핀 공식 인증 치과입니다». [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery /base/ section 03 발치 covers 사랑니 and 매복된 치아 extraction, 이범주 원장 is listed under 통합과/외과, and the fee table prices 상악동 수술. [cl1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry No children’s dentistry appears in the nav or on any service page; Dr Lee’s CV lists a 소아치과 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 «당일 치료» 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 (クレア歯科, hours, map, 電話番号 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 non-Thai speakers.
| ✓ | 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 레진 through 인레이·온레이 to 신경 치료 후 크라운, and /quick/ lists the drawbacks as well as the merits of each aligner system. [cl1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Published on every page: 월/수/금 10:00–19:00, 화/목 10:00–21:00, 토 10:00–15:00, 점심시간 13:00–14:30 — evening and Saturday hours. [cl1] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility

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 carries «클레어치과의원 · 대표자명: 김유나 · 사업자등록번호 307-62-00802», 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로 507 부일타워 4층, +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/, /의료진소개/, /contact/, /edition/, /white/, /gum/, /quick/, /base/, /port1/, /cashjp/ (Japanese-language patient page), /11-문의게시판/ (1:1 상담 게시판) and the /event/ board including uid=18 «비급여 수가 안내» (standing fee table), uid=17 English price table, uid=16 Japanese price notice, uid=19/20 multilingual aftercare and uid=12/13/14 (협력병원 agreements with 강남세브란스, 이화여대 목동·서울, 고려대 구로). Supports: website, dentist roster and specializations, service list, contacts, address and embedded map, published fee figures, social/messenger channels, service coverage, foreign-patient material, opening hours and per-treatment pages. | 2026-09-06 |
| gmp1 | https://www.google.com/maps/place/%ED%81%B4%EB%A0%88%EC%96%B4%EC%B9… | The clinic’s Google Maps place page — the one this card already records as contacts.googleMapsUrl — opened and read live in a real browser on 2026-09-06 by the wave-4 combined korea+japan browser pass (agent I-3): star rating, review-count header, full star histogram, review dates and owner replies. The trail does not restate the place-page URL, so the URL recorded here is the card’s own; the listing name and address it reports match this card. | 2026-09-06 |
Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-07 | Display name changed from «Gangnam Claire Dental Clinic» to «Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원)» under the fleet 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 «클레어치과의원» in its site footer and in the HIRA register (요양기관기호 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 as 클레어치과의원 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 by the wave-4 browser pass (agent I-3), 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 wave-4 E2. Identity confirmed before capture: the site’s footer and JSON-LD give 클레어치과의원, 대표자명 김유나, 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로 507 부일타워 4층 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 비급여 수가 안내 table with 12 priced items (레진 8/10/15만 원, 세라믹 하이브리드 인레이 24, 지르코니아 크라운 40, 세라믹 크라운 60, 라미네이트 55, 임플란트 오스템 BA 59), so prices are no longer opaque. Doctor roster re-pointed to the live site: the clinic’s current /의료진소개/ page lists 김유나(Yuna KIM) 대표원장 and 이범주(Beom Ju Lee) 원장 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; 강백호, also on that page, is a 치과기공사 (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 (wave-4 gate E): 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 (클레어치과의원, 요양기관기호 11598948, 강남구 선릉로 507 부일타워 4층, 개설일자 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 강남구 선릉로 507 부일타워 4층 — 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 the fleet external-link sweep (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 (건강보험심사평가원): clinic confirmed as registered 클레어치과의원 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 ('클레어치과의원' / 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.
