A smile makeover is a single plan that combines treatments such as whitening, aligners and veneers so they happen in a sensible order. It is built around what you want to change and what your teeth and gums can support. Published prices are a guide; your total is quoted after examination.
What a Smile Makeover Can Include
Few people need every item. The point of a makeover plan is to choose only what you actually want and to avoid doing things in the wrong order.
Professional whitening
Lightens the natural shade of teeth. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers or fillings, so it is usually done early in a plan.
Laminate veneers
Thin shells bonded to the front of a tooth to change shade, shape or size. The price includes VAT.
Clear aligners
Move teeth gradually into better positions. The price range follows the complexity of the case.
Braces
Metal braces ₩2.8M, combination (ceramic upper, metal lower) ₩3.1M, ceramic ₩3.2M, and Clippy-C self-ligating braces ₩3.6M, for cases where fixed appliances are advised.
Cosmetic bonding
Tooth-colored resin shaped onto a tooth to close a small gap or repair a chipped edge.
Gum contouring
Considered where the gum line affects how the smile looks. Fees are not published.
Prices are the published non-covered price list in KRW; cosmetic prices (whitening, veneers) include VAT. Confirm at consultation.
Smile Makeover for Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Bundang Residents
The clinic is by Taepyeong Station Exit 5 in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam. If you live or work in Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin, Sinheung, Gachon or Wirye, a makeover that needs several appointments is easier to manage close to home.
Makeovers are rarely finished in a single sitting. There are usually separate stages for planning, preparation, any alignment, and the final cosmetic work. A clinic near a station makes it simpler to attend each stage, including from the Bundang side, where Moran and Bokjeong appear on the local map.
We do not publish travel times, so check your route in a map app. The clinic is open 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; it is closed on Sundays and open on public holidays. English-language consultation is available, which helps when you are describing the look you want in detail.
Closing Gaps and Reshaping Teeth
Moving teeth with aligners or braces keeps your natural tooth intact, but it takes longer than adding a veneer. Veneers are quicker to complete, but they involve preparing the tooth surface and are not permanent forever.
Your dentist should tell you honestly if a simpler option would give you what you want.
| Concern | Options your dentist may discuss | Things to weigh |
|---|---|---|
| Small gap between two teeth | Bonding, veneers or aligners | Bonding is least invasive; aligners move teeth rather than add to them |
| Several spaced teeth | Aligners, sometimes with veneers | Closing spaces by movement keeps natural tooth |
| Short or uneven teeth | Veneers or bonding | Depends on gum line and bite |
| Chipped edge | Bonding or a veneer | Size of the chip and your bite matter |
| Crooked front teeth | Aligners, braces or veneers | Veneers change the tooth surface; aligners change position |
| Dull or stained teeth | Whitening, internal bleaching, veneers | Check the cause of staining first |
Planning Your Smile
If you are visiting Korea, tell the clinic your dates at the start. Alignment cannot be rushed, so ask which parts can be done within your stay.
Describe your goals
Say what you would like to change and what you want left as it is. Photos of how you want the finished smile to look can help the conversation.
Examination first
Teeth, gums and bite are checked. Cavities, gum inflammation and bite problems are treated before cosmetic work.
Agree the order
A typical order is health first, then alignment if needed, then whitening, then veneers or bonding. Your dentist sets the actual order.
Written price and timeline
You receive a quote for the full plan. Final fees are confirmed after examination.

Smile Makeover FAQ
A makeover raises practical questions about order, cost and what is realistic. The notes below give a general picture, and your dentist applies them to your teeth.
We do not promise a specific result. Shade, shape and alignment outcomes depend on your teeth, your gums and your habits, and veneers or bonding may need repair or replacement over time.
We also do not use before-and-after claims. A consultation shows you the options that make sense for your case.
- Whitening before veneers, so the shade can be matched
- Treat gum or decay problems before any cosmetic work
- Protect the result with a night guard if you grind
Who This Suits
A makeover tends to suit people who want to change more than one thing about their smile, for example color and spacing together, and who prefer one coordinated plan to separate decisions.
If you only want a single change, a smaller treatment may be enough. A makeover is not a requirement, and your dentist may suggest starting with the simplest step and reviewing from there.

Smile Makeover: frequently asked questions
How much does a smile makeover cost?
It depends on what is included. Published prices include whitening at ₩385,000 and veneers at ₩600,000 per tooth (both VAT included), and your total is quoted after examination.
Should I have aligners before veneers?
If teeth are crooked, moving them first often means less veneer preparation. Your dentist decides the order.
Does whitening work on veneers?
No. Whitening changes natural tooth color only, so it is usually done before veneers or bonding are matched.
Can I do a makeover during a short visit to Korea?
Parts of it may be possible, but aligners and braces take longer than a short stay. Tell the clinic your dates at the start.
Are veneers permanent?
They are long-lasting but not permanent forever. They may need repair or replacement in future.
Will I need a night guard?
If you grind your teeth, one may be advised to protect cosmetic work. The fee is not published and is quoted after examination.
Is there a free consultation?
Consultation before treatment is free. Treatment plans and fees are quoted after examination.
Can I get a makeover in English?
Yes. English-language consultation is available at +82-31-757-1525.
