[Recruitment] Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic Is Hiring Dental Hygienists

Hello!

Thank you to everyone who visited after seeing our job posting.

As a dentist myself, I know well that the dental clinic you work at can greatly change your daily life and your career.

So in this post, I would like to share, from your perspective, what the benefits are of working at Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic.

A dental clinic where neither patients nor staff feel anxious

A dental clinic is not exactly a joyful place for patients.

And for the people who work there, there are many difficult moments too.

Think about the times you went to the dentist as a patient.

What were you afraid of?

- The pain of dental anesthesia injections and the severe toothache expected during treatment

- The shock and frustration of being told that a simple cavity needs a root canal

- The sense of loss when told that a tooth that still feels firm and healthy must be extracted...

These are the fears and worries that patients feel.

Now let's think about the dental clinic as a workplace.

- The difficult situation of having to finish treatment for a patient who is bleeding and cannot open their mouth well

- The awkwardness of not knowing how to respond when a patient pours out a flood of questions

- The stress of learning your job amid territorial behavior from existing staff or a lack of training

You have probably experienced situations like these at least once.

A dental clinic where staff, not just patients, feel at ease

At Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic,

to solve these problems, we operate with the goal of being “a dental clinic where staff as well as patients feel at ease.”

And at the center of this is painless treatment.

Dr. Choi Yong-hun has pursued dental care without pain since his time as a professor in the Department of Conservative Dentistry at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital,

and in 2016 he became the first Korean to travel to France and complete a painless dental anesthesia master course.

We know well how stressful it is for you to hold a patient in pain by hand and press down on their arm.

You are the ones who have to handle the aftermath when patients thrash around in pain caused during the director's treatment,

but at Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic, there are no patient screams and no patients jolting upright from sudden pain during treatment.

Every treatment, whatever it may be, is carried out in a comfortable and peaceful state,

so you can focus entirely on the treatment itself.

Preserving teeth for as long as possible rather than going straight to implants: “Build a differentiated career”

What I can speak to with the greatest confidence,

and the reason many patients travel from far away to visit us, is natural tooth preservation.

No patient likes root canal treatment.

I know that no dental staff member enjoys it either.

Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic saves teeth with minimal-prep ceramic restorations whenever possible, before root canal treatment becomes necessary.

Even when root canal treatment is needed, we perform so few that it does not reach one case per week,

so root canal procedures are rare, and the preparation for them is highly simplified and minimized.

At Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic, patients, dentists, and staff are all free from stress over root canal treatment.

Somehow, at the first sign of a severe cavity or inflammation on an X-ray, we naturally start thinking about implants.

Even when a patient is still young and the roots look healthy, reaching for an implant has become the norm.

But if it were your own tooth, or your family's tooth, could you so easily recommend extraction?

What Dr. Choi Yong-hun has pursued over the past 20 years is saving damaged teeth that others have given up on, through tooth replantation.

Teeth that were judged “impossible” and “absolutely unsalvageable” are being saved with techniques unique to Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic.

As many of you know, Korea's dental implant market is entering a period of decline.

More and more patients are asking whether their teeth can be saved before getting implants,

and this trend grows stronger the more medical knowledge and income a patient has.

There are many dentists who are skilled at implants.

However, dentists who specialize in natural tooth preservation are rare.

Starting with university hospitals and high-end large dental clinics in Seoul, an era is coming when natural tooth preservation will be required, whether or not dentists want to do it.

That is because high-end patients want this kind of treatment.

With this future demand in mind, why not build your own career at Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic, which has one of the country's finest tooth replantation systems?

In fact, there is a case where a hygienist from Dr. Choi Yong-hun's team at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital was hired by the Department of Conservative Dentistry at Gangnam St. Mary's Hospital, recognized as having replantation experience.

Build a career at Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic that sets you apart from others.

No excessive treatment delegation. We have a training system for junior staff.

Your role in a busy treatment room is extremely important,

but the workload must be something you can handle.

This is the basic principle of Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic.

We do not hand off excessive treatment or assign tasks in a “figure it out yourself” manner.

Key treatment procedures and problem-solving are mostly led directly by the director.

Patient explanations and answering questions can be handled according to the manual, and anything beyond that is handled directly by the director.

In addition, since our clinic focuses on two or three types of treatment, such as ceramic restorations and tooth replantation, the work is simple.

Even if you lack experience, you do not need to worry.

So that even junior staff can understand easily, we have manuals and an onboarding system in place, and senior colleagues will kindly help you.

At Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic, there is no pressure from sales targets or performance stress.

All diagnoses and treatment plans are led by the director, and we do not recommend treatments that patients do not want.

Many patients visit from across the country, so the clinic operates stably, and because our differentiated natural tooth preservation treatment itself is highly competitive, you do not have to depend on implants.

With fewer and simpler treatment areas, there is far less stress than at clinics handling multiple treatments at once, and being able to adapt quickly is also a major advantage.

Time to become a true Dental Hygienist!

What is the essence of a dental hygienist?

As Dental Hygienists, we believe the most important role is managing (caring for) patients' oral hygiene. The role involves regularly bringing patients in for oral care while checking and teaching proper brushing techniques and tooth-care methods, and personally managing the appointment book to provide regular oral hygiene care. This is the essence of a dental hygienist, and Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic believes that the most beautiful career of a dental hygienist is growing older alongside patients through this work.

There are also many patients who want to visit regularly, trust their hygienist, and have their tooth condition checked and cared for.

That is why Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic has a dental health management program called The Care.

The Care Light, which includes scaling and gum sterilization, and The Care Plus, which also includes anesthesia and PDRN injections, are these programs.

As your skills mature and the number of care patients grows, you can receive incentives based on treatment performance, and most importantly, you can continue doing the core work of a hygienist regardless of age.

We are waiting for a colleague who will grow together with us at a growing clinic

Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic opened in Pangyo in November 2023 and has now reached its second year.

We never expected a tooth-preservation clinic in Korea to receive this much attention,

and as we have grown rapidly in a short time, the services we need to provide to patients have also increased.

However, the director cannot perfectly deliver all of the medical services described above on his own.

That is why we now need a dental hygienist who will join our existing clinical team and build treatment with pride in saving teeth, as well as a front-desk team dental hygienist who will take responsibility for patient consultations, appointment booking, reception and billing, and patient management processes.

Since both positions play a key role in the clinic, we are looking for colleagues to grow with us.

To accommodate our growing patient base and expand The Care program, which is still in pilot operation, the clinic is preparing to relocate to a larger space.

We hope you will help shape the present and future of your career at Pangyo Choi Yong-hun Dental Clinic, a clinic that is leaping forward and continuing to grow.
