PhotosWhat photos should I send first?

Smile, front, side bite, upper/lower teeth and concern-area photos help initial guidance.

PhotosHow does a photo consultation work?

Send a front smile photo, a straight-on view of your teeth, left and right side views, and upper and lower bite photos, plus any recent panoramic X-ray. The team uses these for initial guidance on what to check and what treatment may be involved. A photo consultation cannot confirm final cost, which is set after in-person diagnosis.

PhotosWhat photos should I send before consultation?

Send a front smile photo, a straight-on photo of your teeth, left and right side photos, and photos of your upper and lower bite. If you have a recent panoramic X-ray or dental records, add those too. Clear, well-lit photos help the team guide what to check before you travel.

CostCan I get a fixed quote online?

No. Photos help triage, but final cost requires diagnosis and treatment scope confirmation.

CostWhat affects the cost of dental treatment in Korea?

Cost depends on the treatment type, materials, how many teeth are involved, the treatment scope 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.

CostHow 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.

CostIs 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.

TimelineHow many days should I stay?

It depends on treatment type. Share travel dates before choosing priority treatment.

TimelineHow 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.

TimelineCan 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 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.

TimelineHow 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. Sending dental photos and travel dates first lets the team estimate the timeline before you book, with the exact plan confirmed after diagnosis.

TravelCan I combine dental care with a short trip?

Some care fits short visits, while implants and orthodontics need staged planning.

TravelWhich languages can I communicate in?

You can ask about treatment before traveling through LINE, WhatsApp or the consultation form, with communication supported in English. Please share your questions, photos and preferred contact channel in advance so the team can prepare your visit and guide what to check before you arrive.

TravelDo 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.

TravelWhere are the clinics and how do I get there?

Today Dental Clinic has two locations: Gangnam in Seoul, near Gangnam Station, and Bucheon. Both 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.

TravelIs there language support for international patients?

International patients can ask about treatment before traveling through LINE, WhatsApp or the consultation form, and communication is supported in English. Sharing your questions, photos and preferred contact channel in advance helps the team prepare your visit and guide what to check before you arrive in Gangnam or Bucheon.

SafetyWhat should I confirm before treatment?

Diagnosis, materials, sequence, aftercare and risks should be confirmed in clinic.

SafetyWhat 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.

SafetyWill 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.

SafetyHow 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 both locations. Any specific measures relevant to your procedure are explained during consultation.
