Shocking Closure of a Renowned Gangnam Dental Clinic

In a distressing sequence of events, a well-known dental clinic in Seoul’s Gangnam has abruptly shut its doors, leaving hundreds of patients in anguish. According to reports, the clinic’s sudden closure has impacted around 400 patients, many of whom paid significant sums for dental procedures like implants.

The Human Cost

A particularly heart-wrenching story involves a man in his 50s who had six teeth extracted in preparation for implants. With the clinic closed, he now faces an uncertain future with six metal screws in place of the promised implants. Many of the affected individuals are elderly, foreigners, or from low-income backgrounds. These patients had been lured by the clinic’s competitive prices, only to be left without recourse when the facility unexpectedly ceased operations.

A Growing Trend?

Disturbingly, this is not an isolated incident. Just days later, another major dental clinic near Gangnam Station also closed down without warning, suggesting a troubling pattern that could see even more patients left in a similar predicament.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Clinic

Events like these highlight the critical importance of selecting reputable medical facilities. Financially and physically, the consequences of choosing the wrong clinic can be devastating. That’s where we at ABK step in.
