MINISH Dental Hospital Korea: Global Leaders (VITA, 3M, L’Oréal, Vinmec) Visit — World-Class Restorative Dental Care for Medical Tourists

World-Class Dental Care in Korea: Global Leaders Visiting MINISH Dental Hospital

Why These Global Visits Matter for Medical Tourists

When executives and clinical leaders from global companies tour our facilities, they typically review three core areas:

• Clinical outcomes and patient safety standards
• Materials and technology used in restorations
• Systems that support efficient, consistent care (especially important for visitors with limited time)

For international patients, this kind of external attention reflects a high level of confidence in MINISH’s approach—particularly in full-mouth restoration, anti-aging restorative concepts, and efficient treatment workflows.

L’Oréal (France Headquarters)

In June 2023, 15 team members from L’Oréal’s France headquarters—including the Vice Chairman—visited MINISH Dental Hospital. L’Oréal is a global beauty leader with 38 brands, such as Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Lancôme, and Biotherm, and a market capitalization of approximately KRW 380 trillion.

During the visit, Director Jung-ho Kang presented MINISH Dental Hospital’s clinical philosophy and technological capabilities. The Q&A session extended beyond the scheduled time, reflecting strong engagement and interest.

L’Oréal’s leadership showed particular interest in:

• MINISH’s “tooth anti-aging” restorative effects
• Our “one-day system” (a streamlined model designed to maximize efficiency where clinically appropriate)

In follow-up discussions, a key theme was materials. L’Oréal’s long-standing focus has included minimizing damage (e.g., in hair dye development), and MINISH similarly emphasizes restoring damaged teeth using materials designed to closely mimic natural tooth properties. Both sides found strong alignment on material philosophy, system design, and sustainability—leading to meaningful continued dialogue.

Vinmec (Vietnam | Vingroup Healthcare)

In early 2023, VINMEC—Vingroup’s healthcare subsidiary in Vietnam—visited MINISH Dental Hospital. Vinmec is widely regarded as one of Vietnam’s leading medical institutions and is often compared to top-tier hospitals in Korea.

Because Vinmec (based in Hanoi) also serves many international patients, this collaboration is expected to increase awareness of MINISH treatment not only within Vietnam, but also among global travelers seeking advanced dental solutions in Asia.

Vinmec’s medical staff routinely study advanced global medical systems, and they noted close alignment with MINISH’s treatment philosophy and operating structure. After experiencing MINISH’s proprietary system and latest technologies firsthand, the Vinmec medical team signed an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) for mutual cooperation.

3M (U.S. | Oral Care Solutions)

3M is a U.S.-based global manufacturer known for industrial products as well as dental materials used worldwide, including dental blocks and adhesives.

At the request of Karim Mansour, President of Oral Care Solutions at 3M headquarters, a visit was arranged to MINISH Dental Hospital. President Mansour toured our Dental Lab Research Institute and major hospital areas to observe our clinical workflow and operational approach.

He shared that he was especially impressed by:

• MINISH Academy (our training and education framework)
• MMC (MINISH Members Clinic) operating system
• The integration of materials and advanced equipment used in treatment delivery

VITA (Germany | VITA Zahnfabrik) and the Exclusive MINISH Block

The MINISH Block, used exclusively at MINISH Dental Hospital, is notable because VITA—a German company with over 100 years of history—has applied a partner brand to a branded block only twice worldwide.

In July 2024, VITA and MINISH Technology met at VITA headquarters and agreed to deepen cooperation for the mass production of a second-generation dedicated MINISH Block. VITA highly evaluated MINISH full-mouth restoration clinical cases and strongly supported the need for an advanced next-generation block.

VITA’s commitment to the MINISH Block has been exceptional for years:

• In 2017, VITA Chairman Emanuel Rauter visited the MINISH Dental Lab Research Institute and personally reviewed restorations produced with the MINISH Block, praising the precision.
• The MINISH Dental Lab Research Institute was designated as a VITA-certified lab—the first outside Europe and the only one in Asia.

Collaboration has continued through ongoing visits, including a May 2023 tour by Annette, VITA’s Head of R&D. MINISH Dental Hospital and VITA continue strengthening their partnership based on long-term trust, while jointly exploring more innovative restorative solutions.

What This Means for International Patients Considering Treatment at MINISH

There are relatively few institutions that maintain active, ongoing exchange with leading global companies across materials, technology, and clinical systems. At MINISH Dental Hospital, we believe this kind of collaboration supports one clear goal: more predictable, higher-quality outcomes for patients—especially international visitors who need efficient planning and dependable standards.

As MINISH’s reputation continues to spread globally, we remain committed to advancing our restorative solutions through research, partnerships, and continuous upgrades.
