Q. How would you like to introduce Etoile de Seoul Dental Clinic?

It was opened in Yeouido in 2005. However, there are some geographically limited areas in Yeouido, so it has been operating for about 6 years and is now operating in Gangnam.

Q. What are the difficulties as a director and manager?

I have been a dentist for 18 years from 2005 to the present, and my expenses such as taxes continue to increase in the recent economic uncertainty such as COVID 19. So, we needed a change according to the dental operation, so we chose 'DIOnavi. Full Arch’.

Q. What changes have occurred since the introduction of ‘DIOnavi. Full Arch’?

At the time of opening in 2005, the question was whether there was a panorama machine or not. However, until then, I was also in the analog generation, so I used panoramas, but about three or four years later, I introduced digital to digital. In particular, even if the ‘DIOnavi. Full Arch’ is edentulous, the guide can be applied accordingly.
It is a system that allows accurate and simple implant surgery through CT and scan data when the hole is positioned accurately by fixing it and the depth is revealed. Patients actually have strong preconceived notions about implants.
When a patient visits a dentist for consultation, he or she has a lot of troubles, such as raising a tooth and removing another tooth after 6 months of implantation. However, ‘DIOnavi.’ is attractive in that it can complete the final prosthesis within a short period of time. When I see the patient's expression after the operation, I feel really proud. It has the advantage of not having any complaints because it is not shaken and can be adjusted as desired by the patient.

Q. How was your adaptation to ‘DIOnavi.’?

Perhaps any dentist is unfamiliar with it at first and may be unsure. It was the same when I first encountered ‘DIOnavi.’. But once I understood the ‘DIOnavi.’, everything became easier.
I think ‘DIOnavi.’ is a product that elevates the guide to the next level. As far as I know, DIO seems to be researching and developing after the ‘DIOnavi.’ system. So, I am looking forward to how much more stable and how psychologically the prosthesis can be completed on the same day that the patient is satisfied.

Q. Are you satisfied after choosing ‘DIOnavi.’?

When I first introduced ‘DIOnavi.’, I was unfamiliar with it, so I thought about why I should use it for a while. However, I came to understand the guide system by repeating the operation 20 times, 30 times, and 50 times with ‘DIOnavi.’ I am using it now and am very satisfied with it.
After that, for example, it is very stressful because I have to do it correctly before surgery because of the maxillary sinuses. Do not touch the nerve and do not tear the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus, so there is a lot of tension during surgery.
With the conventional method, surgery for 3 to 4 people a day is too difficult. However, if you have surgery with the ‘DIOnavi.’ system, there is no stress. Just as I have planned in advance, everything is ready and you just have to press according to the guide.

Q. How does it compare to the existing surgical procedure?

After adopting the ‘DIOnavi.’ guide, it is said that there is no stress at all because the implant can be placed accurately and safely that the patient is fully satisfied with.

Q. What is the difference between the ‘DIOnavi. Full Arch’ system?

It is so accurate that the point error is less than 0.1mm. The greatest advantage is that there is no medical accident caused by patient complaints and can be treated without stress, because the dentist can plant exactly where he wants to plant.
As I started to believe in this system, the more I use it, the better I think it was made. Knowing that the risk is safely reduced, you can feel more confident and comfortable during surgery.

Q. Did the introduction of ‘DIOnavi. Full Arch’ affect sales?

Sales, of course, increased. There was also an increase in patient care versus time. Dental management is, of course, helpful. Another point I want to emphasize is that, from an employee's point of view, the existing surgery required a lot of care for patients, but with the adoption of ‘DIOnavi. Full Arch’, the workload was greatly reduced.
In addition, the intensity of work has definitely decreased. Even though the number of patients has increased, I definitely feel that my mental comfort and job satisfaction have improved.
