Trip planning
Typical guides only. Your own schedule depends on your teeth, any treatment needed first, and how you heal.
| Treatment | Typical stay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Teeth whitening | Can be a single visit | If no decay or gum treatment is needed first |
| Veneer preview (Bionic First) | 2–3 days | Scan, then try-on once the tips are made |
| Porcelain veneers | About a week | Several visits: scan and design, preparation, try-in, bonding |
| Crowns and inlays | Ask us | Depends on the tooth, e.g. whether a root canal comes first |
| Wisdom tooth removal | About a week | Extraction, then a check and stitch removal about a week later |
| Dental implants | Usually two trips | Placement, then the crown after healing (typically 2–4 months lower jaw, 3–6 months upper), unless immediate loading is possible |
| Full-mouth implants | At least two trips | Several months overall; grafting adds time |
| Braces and Invisalign | Regular visits over months | Best suited to people living in Korea |
Insurance, payment & VAT
Living in Korea
Many registered foreign residents are enrolled in Korea's National Health Insurance; if you're not sure, check with NHIS or your employer. Insured treatment is billed at NHIS rates. Two benefits worth knowing: scaling once a year for adults, and up to two implants per lifetime for insured people aged 65 and over, with a co-payment of about 30%. Bring your residence card.
Visiting Korea
Visitors pay non-insured rates for everything. The clinic publishes its standard non-covered fees — for example, ₩1,100,000 per implant including the crown (approx. US$790). Everything else is quoted after consultation; see the dental price list for Jamsil.
Cosmetic work
Veneers, whitening and gum contouring are subject to 10% VAT. The tourist VAT refund for cosmetic procedures ended on 31 December 2025.
Paying and claiming
The front desk will confirm payment options; as general advice, most Korean clinics accept major international cards. If you're with the US Forces, an embassy or an employer plan and want to claim from an insurer abroad, tell us when you book so we can tell you which documents are available.
Aftercare
Treatment results and recovery vary from person to person, and every procedure carries some risk. Each treatment page explains the specific risks — start with dental implants in Jamsil or meet our specialist dentists.
