The Seoul Dental Clinic is a dental clinic by Taepyeong Station Exit 5 in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam. It offers implants, crowns, orthodontics, cosmetic care, children's dentistry and sedation, and it states that English-language consultation is available. This guide explains how dental care works for foreigners in Korea, what the main treatments cost on the published list, and what to expect before your first visit.
How Dental Care in Korea Works for Foreigners
In Korea, most cosmetic and implant work is paid privately, while a limited set of basic services may fall under national health coverage. The clinic's published list covers non-covered treatments, which is where implants, crowns, veneers and aligners sit.
Clinics usually quote a price per treatment, and you pay at the clinic. Many dental offices work from an examination first, then give you a written plan with the fee for each step. This is normal, and you are free to take the plan home, compare it and decide.
If you have insurance from abroad, ask for itemized documents. Our team states that it supports overseas-insurance paperwork, so mention it at booking rather than at the end of treatment.
A first visit is usually an examination with X-rays, a discussion of findings and a plan. Treatment often starts on a later visit, though your dentist will tell you if something needs attention sooner.
- Private pricing is common for implants, aligners and cosmetic work.
- Ask for the plan and price in writing.
- Keep receipts and treatment records.
- Say early if you need documents for an insurer back home.
Dental Care for Residents of Taepyeong, Moran and Gachon
If you live or work near Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin, Sinheung or Gachon University, the clinic is a local option. Stations in the area include Taepyeong, Moran, Bokjeong and Gachon Univ. on the Suin-Bundang Line, and Sujin, Sinheung and Moran on Line 8.
Having a clinic close to home matters when treatment needs several visits, such as an implant or a set of aligners. A short local trip is easier to repeat than a long cross-city journey, especially if you have children or a work schedule to protect.
Families around Wirye New Town and teachers or students near Gachon University Global Campus can also reach the Taepyeong area on the same lines. Bundang-side residents can plan a route toward Seongnam and Taepyeong.
We do not state travel times or fares, so check the route from your address with a map app before you go.
Treatments We Offer
The clinic's services fall into five groups. Each has its own page with the published prices, so this is a quick map of what is available.
Which group applies to you depends on your examination. Many patients start with a check-up and then add a second step, such as a crown after a root treatment or aligners after gum care.
Implants
Single teeth to full-arch, with bone grafts when needed; a sinus lift is quoted after a CT examination. Implant crowns are listed separately, except MegaGen, which comes with a PFM crown.
Crowns and fillings
Crowns, inlays, onlays and resin fillings, plus core build-up when a tooth needs more support.
Orthodontics
Clear aligners, metal, combination or ceramic braces and Clippy-C self-ligating braces, with retainers afterwards.
Cosmetic
Laminate veneers, professional whitening and internal bleaching for a darkened root-treated tooth.
Children and comfort
Fluoride, baby-tooth fillings, stainless crowns, space maintainers and conscious sedation.
What Dental Treatment Costs in Korea
Figures come from the clinic's published non-covered fee schedule. Cosmetic prices include VAT. Confirm the exact amount for your case at consultation.
Some items are not on the published list, including root canal treatment, wisdom tooth removal, gum treatment, CT scans, night guards and emergency visits. For these, the cost is quoted after examination, because it depends on the tooth and the work involved.
When you compare quotes, check what is inside each number. A MegaGen implant is listed with a PFM crown. For Osstem, DIO and Straumann, the implant crown is a separate item (PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000 per tooth), and an abutment is added if your case needs one. A bare implant fee and an all-in fee are not the same thing, so your written quote lists each item.
| Treatment | Published price (KRW) |
|---|---|
| MegaGen implant + PFM crown (crown included) | ₩350,000 |
| Osstem implant (standard / premium) | ₩650,000 / ₩800,000 |
| Implant crown, PFM / zirconia (per tooth) | ₩350,000 / ₩450,000 |
| Zirconia crown (back / front tooth) | ₩450,000 / ₩550,000 |
| Invisalign | ₩2.5M to ₩7M |
| Laminate veneers | ₩600,000 per tooth (VAT included) |
| Professional whitening | ₩385,000 (VAT included) |
| Additional scaling (non-covered) | ₩50,000 |
Prices below are the published non-covered fee schedule in Korean won. Cosmetic prices include VAT, and the final figure is confirmed at your consultation.
Insurance and Paperwork for Overseas Claims
The clinic states that it supports overseas-insurance paperwork. Insurers often want an itemized receipt, a description of the treatment and sometimes a diagnosis note. Rules differ by insurer, so check your policy before treatment.
Tell the team at the start which documents you need so they can prepare them at the right time. We cannot promise your insurer will reimburse any amount.
Some insurers ask for pre-approval on larger treatments. If yours does, ask the clinic for a written plan with itemized fees before you commit, and send it to your insurer first.
- Ask what your policy covers and whether it needs pre-approval.
- Request itemized receipts for every payment.
- Keep X-rays and treatment notes in case a claim needs them.
Meet the Dentists
You will be seen by one of our dentists, and your dentist will explain the findings and options in English. We do not list individual names or credentials on this site.
At your first visit you can expect an examination, a discussion of choices and a written plan where treatment is needed. You decide what goes ahead.
If you want to know who will perform a particular procedure, ask when you book. It is reasonable to ask which dentist will treat you and how follow-up visits will work.
Plan Your Visit
A little preparation makes the first visit more useful. The four steps below cover what most new patients do.
