FAQ

Questions from international patients

Do the dentists speak English?
Yes. Dr. Han and our coordinators explain diagnoses, treatment options and costs in English. Consent forms and receipts are available in English as well.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
For emergencies, yes — walk-ins are welcome. For regular care, call +82-2-756-2828 or book via Naver Booking to skip the wait. KakaoTalk messages are answered within 30 minutes during clinic hours.
How much will my treatment cost?
Check-up & X-ray from ₩10,000–30,000 with NHIS (≈₩50,000 without), fillings ₩50,000–250,000, root canal ₩100,000–350,000, implants ₩1,200,000–2,000,000 per tooth. You receive a written estimate before any treatment begins.
Can I claim the cost on my insurance?
Yes. We issue itemized English receipts and doctor's notes that most travel and international health insurers accept for reimbursement.
I'm only in Seoul for a few days. Can you finish treatment quickly?
We prioritize travelers. Emergencies are stabilized on the day; many treatments (fillings, crowns prep, cleaning, whitening) can be completed or staged within a short stay. Tell us your departure date and we plan around it.
Is the night clinic really open until 8 PM?
Yes — every Wednesday we run a night clinic until 20:00. Last reception is one hour before closing. It is popular with expats working in the CBD, so booking ahead is recommended.
