A Seongnam Dentist for International Students (Gachon University Area)
Published by The Seoul Dental Clinic · Meet the dentists
Students at or near Gachon University can reach our clinic at Taepyeong Station, Exit 5, via nearby stations. We offer English-language consultations and a public price list, so you know costs before you commit. Many services are non-covered, so ask about them early.
A dentist near campus
Gachon University Global Campus and Gachon Univ. Station both appear. Our clinic is by Taepyeong Station, Exit 5, in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, so it is within the same part of Seongnam.
We do not state walking or travel times. Look up the route in a map app, and call +82-31-757-1525 if you need help finding us.
Costs you can check in advance
Students watch their budgets, and we publish prices so you can plan. Insurance-covered scaling follows national health insurance rules, and additional (non-covered) scaling is ₩50,000. Resin fillings range from ₩70,000 to ₩250,000 depending on the case. Professional whitening is ₩385,000, VAT included.
Price list as published; confirm at consultation. Cosmetic prices include VAT.
Common student questions
A few answers you may want upfront.
| Question | Short answer |
|---|---|
| Is the first conversation free? | The English consultation is published as free |
| Do you quote a root canal price? | No. It is quoted after examination |
| Can I get paperwork for my insurer? | Overseas-insurance paperwork support is available |
| Do you treat wisdom teeth? | Yes; the cost is quoted after examination |
Insurance and student plans
Student insurance differs by university and country. Before booking, ask your plan administrator what dental care it covers and what receipts it needs.
We can provide itemized receipts, which many insurers ask for. Because many of our services are non-covered, you may pay directly and then submit a claim.
Common reasons students visit
Typical reasons include a toothache that will not settle, wisdom teeth that are causing discomfort, a routine cleaning, or a cosmetic goal before graduation or a family visit.
If you have pain, tell us when you call. Emergency visits do not have a published price, so costs are quoted after examination.
Planning around exams and term dates
Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday 09:30–20:30, Thursday 09:30–19:00, Friday 09:30–18:30 and Saturday 09:30–13:00, with no lunch break; the clinic is closed on Sundays and open on public holidays. Book ahead where possible. If your treatment needs several visits, tell us your exam schedule and any plans to leave Korea at the end of term.
That helps us suggest an order of treatment that makes sense, and we can explain what to do if you must continue care elsewhere.
Practical tips for students
We understand that time and money are limited during your studies. Asking questions early, and getting a clear quote, is the best way to keep care manageable.
If you are unsure whether something is worth mentioning, mention it. Small details often help your dentist understand the whole picture, and nothing you ask will be treated as a silly question. You can also message the clinic after your visit if a question occurs to you later, and we will reply in English as soon as we can. Please remember that every mouth is different, so the advice here is general and your own plan is confirmed at the consultation.
- Carry your passport or alien registration details on your first visit.
- Ask for an itemized receipt and keep a photo of it for your insurer.
- Tell us if you will leave Korea after the semester, so treatment can be planned around your departure.
- Mention any medication you take, as it can matter for dental care.
