Professional background

Professional background

She graduated from Dankook University College of Dentistry and completed advanced orthodontic training at Samsung Medical Center.

The profile also records orthodontic graduate studies at Ewha Womans University and a former adjunct assistant-professor appointment at the Catholic University of Korea.

Clinical discussion

Orthodontic treatment requires a plan for the bite, tooth movement and long-term retention. Patients visiting Korea should discuss whether they can attend the necessary ongoing appointments before choosing a treatment system.

Bring earlier orthodontic records and explain any previous relapse or retainer use. Ask about expected treatment stages, alternatives, retention and what happens if you need care between visits. A realistic follow-up arrangement is as important as the initial appliance choice.

Clinical interests

Discussing your priorities with Dr. Sujeong Son

Ask for a diagnosis and a staged treatment plan before committing to irreversible work. Restoring oral health may require attention to gums, bite and existing decay as well as appearance. Discuss the expected lifespan, maintenance, repair options and limitations of each proposed restoration.

Bring available dental X-rays, implant records and a medication list. For implants, orthodontics or extensive restorative work, clarify the number of visits, healing stages and what a dentist at home will need to continue care.

Make the consultation useful

Before meeting Dr. Sujeong Son, write down your main concern, how long it has affected you, what you have already tried and what a worthwhile improvement would mean in everyday life. Bring relevant clinical records and a list of medicines, supplements and allergies. If you have had earlier treatment, include the dates and any complications.

• What can be preserved before replacing or reshaping a tooth?
• What are the stages and total visits?
• What maintenance or replacement may be needed?
• Which records will I receive for my dentist at home?

Ask the doctor to explain the reasoning behind the proposed plan, including alternatives and the option of not proceeding. Confirm who will perform the treatment, who will review your recovery and how to obtain help outside the planned visits. For care abroad, discuss the follow-up arrangements before paying for treatment or booking a return flight.
