Introduction
The beginning of dental development in Korea
A dental hospital constantly striving for the cutting edge
Yonsei University Dental Hospital started as a dental clinic opened by Dr. Willian J. Scheifly at Severance Hospital in 1915. As the first Western-style dental clinic in South Korea, our dental hospital has greatly contributed to the development of dentistry in the country.
Yonsei University Dental Hospital aims to continue the leadership in the dental technology and patient-centered care it has demonstrated through its history. To this end, the hospital is making great efforts in the area of oral and maxillofacial medical treatments by building an organized and cooperative treatment system between departments, and with the aid of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. In addition, the hospital is endeavoring not only to provide treatment for patients but also to prevent and maintain patients’ health after treatment, with a comfortable and pleasant hospital environment and thorough control of possible infection.
As a university affiliated hospital, our dental hospital continues to educate and produce brilliant dentists with a sense of mission and dedication, offering a high quality of medical treatment to promote the public oral health.
