Questions before visiting Korea
Understand how to get started, plan visits and discuss costs, care and follow-up.
Getting started
Can I ask a question without photos or travel dates?
Yes. Describe your question and choose how you would like us to reply. Photos, dental records and travel dates are optional for an initial enquiry. Share health details or photos only with your consent. An enquiry does not confirm a diagnosis, treatment plan or appointment.
If I choose to share photos, what is useful?
Clear, well-lit photos of your smile, front teeth, left and right bite, upper and lower teeth, and the area you are concerned about can help initial guidance. You may also share an existing panoramic X-ray or dental records. These help the team identify what needs checking; they do not replace an examination or confirm a final treatment plan or fee.
Cost & payment
What affects the cost of dental treatment in Korea?
Cost depends on the treatment type, materials, how many teeth are involved, the treatment scope and sequence, and the number of visits. Because these vary by person, the clinic confirms cost after diagnosis rather than quoting a fixed price in advance. Sending photos and records first helps the team explain which factors apply to your case.
How can I pay, and can I use a foreign card?
The clinic will explain the accepted payment methods and currency when your treatment plan is confirmed. Please ask about payment options during consultation so you can prepare before you travel. The total is based on the treatment plan agreed after diagnosis, with included and non-included items explained in advance.
Is there a warranty or quality care program?
For eligible implant treatment, a quality care program with regular check-up guidance is offered for up to five years, and a warranty certificate is issued. Conditions apply and depend on the treatment and follow-up care, so the details are confirmed during your visit and explained before treatment begins.
Visits & timing
How long should I stay in Korea for dental treatment?
The stay depends on the treatment. Whitening or a simple procedure may fit a short trip, while implants, veneers and orthodontics need diagnosis-based planning and sometimes more than one visit. If photos or travel dates are available and you choose to share them, they can help the team estimate the timeline before you book, with the exact plan confirmed after diagnosis.
How many clinic visits will my treatment need?
The number of visits depends on the treatment. Whitening or resin can often be done in one visit, while implants, veneers and orthodontics may need several, sometimes across more than one trip. Sharing photos and dental records before you travel helps estimate the visit count, and the exact plan is confirmed after diagnosis.
Can I combine several treatments in one trip?
Many international patients combine treatments such as whitening, gum contouring or resin during a single stay, planned around your schedule. Longer treatments like implants, veneers and orthodontics may be staged across visits. A realistic combined plan is confirmed after diagnosis, based on your teeth and how much time you have.
Travel & language
Which languages can I communicate in?
You can send a question through LINE or the consultation form before traveling. The form also lets you request a reply through WhatsApp or WeChat. Communication is supported in English. Tell the team your preferred language and contact channel so they can confirm the support available for your visit.
Do I need a visa to visit Korea for dental treatment?
Entry rules depend on your nationality and length of stay, so please check the current requirements with the Korean authorities or your travel provider. The clinic can share an estimated treatment timeline based on your photos and records, which helps you plan the length of your trip before you book.
Where are the clinics and how do I get there?
Today Dental Clinic has three locations: Gangnam in Seoul near Gangnam Station, Cheongdam in Seoul near Gangnam-gu Office Station, and Bucheon. All three are reachable by subway. When your appointment is arranged, the team can share the address, nearest station and directions so you can plan your route from your accommodation.
Care & follow-up
What should I confirm before treatment?
Diagnosis, materials, sequence, aftercare and risks should be confirmed in clinic.
Will a specialist look at my case?
Yes. Specialist dentists across dental fields diagnose and treat together, so cosmetic and functional decisions are grounded in your overall oral health. For difficult cases, specialists review the plan collaboratively before recommending treatment, and they advise honestly when a simpler or alternative option is more suitable.
How does the clinic manage hygiene and sterilization?
Surgical instruments and equipment go through a thorough sterilization process to reduce the possibility of infection during treatment. This is part of the clinic's routine hygiene system across all three branches. Any specific measures relevant to your procedure are explained during consultation.
What if I have a problem after I return home?
Before you leave, the team gives aftercare guidance and explains what to watch for. If you have questions after returning home, you can reach the clinic through your consultation channel. For treatments with a quality care program, follow-up guidance and check-up reminders are provided; conditions apply and are explained during your visit.
