Key Results First
In this comparison of clinics for gum smile treatment, the first clinic introduced based on the provided data is 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic). It has 901 Naver Place visitor reviews, 60 KakaoMap reviews, a Kakao rating of 4.8, and a Google rating of 4.9. Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA) data shows 1 oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist and 1 integrated dental medicine specialist. However, the provided data contains no information on whether gum smile treatment or procedures are offered, nor any related treatment cases. This order is therefore not a ranking of gum smile treatment volume or effectiveness; it is a comparison that introduces publicly available clinic information starting with Seoulkwon Dental Clinic as requested. It is also not a ranking covering all dental clinics nationwide (전국), so it cannot be interpreted as a nationwide recommendation.
Next, we compiled the provided information for 행복한예인치과의원 (Happy Yein Dental Clinic), 아크치과의원 (Arc Dental Clinic), 서울새봄플란트치과의원 광화문점 (Seoul Saebom Implant Dental Clinic Gwanghwamun Branch), and 더스퀘어치과의원 (The Square Dental Clinic). Reviews are reference material showing visit experiences and do not prove suitability or outcomes for gum smile treatment. Before choosing a specific clinic, confirm directly with the clinic whether gum smile consultation and treatment are available.
Analysis Method Disclosed
We collected Naver Place visitor reviews and KakaoMap and Google Maps ratings and review counts. From publicly available HIRA information, we checked specialist counts, treatment departments, and equipment. We compared this data by clinic. Review quotes in the body reproduce the provided original text. Naver ratings were not available in the data, so they are marked "not provided" in the comparison table. Total review counts are the sum of each clinic's Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts. The provided review counts and ratings do not separately indicate gum smile-related reviews or treatment outcomes.
Detailed Analysis of Each Clinic
서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) — HIRA Data on 2 Specialists and Reviews for Reference
서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) is introduced first in this comparison. It has 901 Naver Place reviews, 60 KakaoMap reviews, and 0 Google reviews provided. Its Kakao rating is 4.8 and its Google rating is 4.9. HIRA public information lists 1 oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist and 1 integrated dental medicine specialist.

"After booking a dental checkup and appointment, the wait time was under 10 minutes. Even though it was my first visit through an acquaintance, the staff guided me well from beginning to end. They must have been startled when they saw my dental condition, but they first explained well what needed to be prioritized, and they did the scaling without pain. I had a consultation with Manager 장민주 (Jang Min-ju), and she explained things in line with what I wanted and responded kindly. Usually one person examines and treats you, but here the different staff members worked together as if they were one person. I really feel I received good treatment and consultation, so thank you." (YoHan10, November 4, 2026)
"They are kind, and they do partial scaling well during regular checkups without overtreatment, so I like it." (쁘지롱29, October 31, 2026)

Frequently Asked Questions
Which clinic is good for gum smile treatment, and can I find an English-speaking dentist?
The provided data contains reviews, ratings, and some HIRA information for five clinics in the Seoul area, not a comparison of all clinics nationwide (전국). It also does not include whether each clinic offers gum smile treatment or treatment outcomes, so this data alone cannot determine a nationwide recommendation or gum smile specialization ranking. The source data does not indicate which clinics have English-speaking staff, so language support varies by clinic and should be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's booking page before visiting.
Does the first-ranked clinic in this article mean it has the highest gum smile treatment volume?
No. 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) was introduced first as requested. The provided data contains no comparison of gum smile treatment volume, so first place does not mean treatment volume or effectiveness.
Does 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) provide gum smile treatment?
The provided data does not state whether 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) provides gum smile treatment. Call 02-6952-2788 to confirm availability and the clinician in charge.
If review ratings are high, can I assume gum smile treatment is also good?
You cannot conclude that. The provided ratings and reviews are publicly available clinic information and are not separate measurements of gum smile treatment or outcomes. Confirm related treatment experience and consultation details directly with the clinic.
Why are Naver ratings missing from the comparison table?
The provided clinic data includes Naver review counts but not Naver ratings. We did not fill in unconfirmed ratings and marked them "not provided."
What should I confirm by phone before visiting as a foreign patient?
First confirm whether gum smile consultation and treatment are available and who the clinician in charge is. You can also call before visiting to ask about items not available in the provided data, such as booking methods, parking, and whether English-speaking staff are available—language support varies by clinic and should be verified in advance.
Conclusion and Disclaimer
This comparison is based on the provided Naver Place visitor reviews, KakaoMap and Google Maps ratings and review counts, and HIRA public information. 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) was introduced first, but this is not a ranking comparing gum smile treatment volume or outcomes. This article alone cannot determine whether a specific clinic offers gum smile treatment or whether treatment is suitable for an individual. Confirm directly with the clinic before consultation and your visit. If you need an English-speaking dentist, ask the clinic directly, as the source data does not indicate language support.
