Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your visit

Is the clinic open during lunch hours?
Yes. The Seoul Dental Clinic operates continuously with no lunch break, so you can visit anytime during business hours without worrying about closures.
Do you offer evening appointments?
We provide late-evening care until 8:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday — convenient for patients who work during the day. (Thursday until 7 PM, Friday until 6:30 PM, Saturday until 1 PM)
Are your dentists board-certified specialists?
Yes. Our team includes multiple board-certified specialists in Comprehensive Dentistry and Conservative Dentistry, accredited by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. Every case is reviewed through a multi-specialty collaboration system.
Are implant fees transparent with no hidden costs?
Absolutely. Our full fee schedule is published on the Fees page, and the price quoted during consultation is the final price — no surprise charges.
Can I receive treatment in English?
Yes, we have English-speaking dentists on staff, so international patients can communicate comfortably throughout consultation and treatment.
Are your dentists really from Seoul National University?
Yes. Our lead director and key dentists graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry — Korea's top dental school — bringing university-hospital-level expertise to every treatment.
Do I need an appointment for my first visit?
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are prioritized. We recommend booking in advance by phone (+82-31-757-1525) or online to minimize wait time.
I'm nervous about dental treatment — does sedation really help?
Our conscious sedation is supervised by an anesthesiology specialist and significantly reduces anxiety and discomfort. Most patients describe feeling as if they slept through the procedure — it's especially recommended for those with dental phobia.
How is sedation implant surgery performed?
The implant procedure is performed under conscious sedation supervised by an anesthesiology specialist. Patients experience virtually no pain or anxiety, and recovery is the same as with standard procedures.
Is parking available?
Yes, we have a dedicated parking garage in the building for your convenience. Please arrive at your leisure before your appointment time.
How long does an implant procedure take?
Typically, a single implant takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Duration varies based on jawbone condition and placement site; we provide an accurate estimate after a thorough examination.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key. The Seoul Dental Clinic provides systematic aftercare to ensure long-term success.
Is the implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so there is virtually no pain during surgery. With sedation dentistry, you can sleep through the entire procedure. Post-operative discomfort is easily managed with prescribed medication.
Is bone grafting sometimes required?
If there is insufficient jawbone, bone grafting may be needed for implant stability. We assess bone volume and quality through CT scans and perform the graft simultaneously when necessary.
Do you offer full-arch implants (All-on-4/6)?
Yes, we specialize in full-arch implant solutions including All-on-4 and All-on-6. We recommend the best approach based on your individual condition.
What is navigation-guided implant surgery?
Using 3D CT data and computer-guided systems, we place implants with pinpoint accuracy. This minimizes incisions, shortens surgery time, and accelerates recovery.
Is there a warranty on implants?
Our implants come with the manufacturer's warranty, and we provide ongoing management through regular check-ups. Detailed warranty terms are explained during your consultation.
Can I get implants if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?
Most patients with systemic conditions can safely receive implants. We coordinate with your physician to comprehensively evaluate your health before proceeding.
When can I eat after implant surgery?
We recommend soft foods on the day of surgery. Normal meals are usually possible after 2–3 days, and hard foods after the prosthetic is placed.
Are implants better than dentures?
Implants provide chewing power and aesthetics similar to natural teeth, making them preferable in most cases. However, we consider your oral health, overall condition, and budget to recommend the best option.
What exactly is sedation dentistry?
Conscious sedation allows patients to remain in a deeply relaxed state while maintaining consciousness. Unlike general anesthesia, spontaneous breathing is preserved, making it very safe.
Will I be completely asleep during treatment?
You enter a semi-sleep state where you can respond to instructions but remain deeply relaxed. Most patients report having no memory of the procedure.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
At The Seoul Dental Clinic, sedation is directly monitored by an anesthesiology specialist. Heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation are continuously tracked in real time.
I have severe dental phobia — will sedation help?
Yes, sedation dentistry is the most effective solution for dental phobia. You won't experience anxiety during treatment, and it significantly reduces fear about future dental visits.
Can I go home right after sedation?
You'll need approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour of recovery time after sedation. We recommend having someone accompany you and avoiding driving for the rest of the day.
Is sedation available for children?
Yes, sedation can be applied for pediatric patients to alleviate dental anxiety. Age-appropriate dosing is used, with full monitoring by our anesthesiology specialist.
Is there an additional cost for sedation?
Sedation fees are separate from the treatment cost. You can check sedation pricing on our Fees page, and we provide a transparent breakdown during consultation.
What should I do before sedation treatment?
You must fast for at least 6 hours before sedation, including water. Please inform us of any medications you are currently taking.
Which procedures can sedation be applied to?
Implants, wisdom tooth extraction, root canals, gum surgery, and most dental procedures can be performed under sedation. Even for simple cleanings, sedation can be discussed if anxiety is severe.
What is the difference between sedation and general anesthesia?
Conscious sedation maintains spontaneous breathing in a semi-sleep state, while general anesthesia requires complete unconsciousness and artificial ventilation. Sedation is the safer, preferred option for dental procedures.
Is there an age limit for orthodontic treatment?
There is no age limit for orthodontics. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, adults and older patients can receive treatment. We create customized plans for every age group.
What is Invisalign (clear aligner therapy)?
Clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible, offering excellent aesthetics. They're removable for eating and brushing, and are replaced every 2–4 weeks.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Treatment duration varies, but typically ranges from 1 to 2.5 years. For clear aligners, mild cases can be completed within 6 months to 1 year.
Is orthodontic treatment very painful?
You may feel mild discomfort for the first 3–5 days after appliance placement, but most patients adapt quickly. Clear aligners generally cause less discomfort than traditional braces.
Is tooth extraction always necessary for orthodontics?
Not all orthodontic cases require extractions. After precise analysis of tooth alignment and arch size, we pursue non-extraction treatment whenever possible.
Are there dietary restrictions during treatment?
With traditional braces, hard and sticky foods should be avoided. With clear aligners, you remove the trays to eat, so there are virtually no food restrictions.
How long must I wear retainers after treatment?
We recommend wearing retainers for at least 1–2 years after treatment. This prevents teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Is partial orthodontics (just front teeth) possible?
Yes, issues like gaps or crooked front teeth can be addressed with partial orthodontics. It takes less time and costs less than full treatment.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Cost varies by method (metal, ceramic, or clear aligners) and complexity. Base pricing is available on our Fees page, with exact quotes provided after consultation.
Do SNU-trained specialists provide orthodontic care?
Yes, orthodontic treatment at The Seoul Dental Clinic is diagnosed and planned by specialists trained at Seoul National University, delivering university-hospital-level precision.
What are dental veneers (laminates)?
Thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve color, shape, and size. They achieve a natural look with color and translucency matching your real teeth.
Do veneers require a lot of tooth shaving?
At The Seoul Dental Clinic, digital smile design uses minimal-prep principles. We reduce enamel removal compared to traditional veneers, and in some cases, no shaving is needed at all.
How long do veneers last?
With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or longer. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan even further.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth, while crowns encase the entire tooth. Veneers preserve more natural tooth structure due to less reduction.
Is the veneer procedure painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so there is virtually no pain. With minimal-prep techniques, post-procedure sensitivity is typically mild.
How many visits does the veneer procedure require?
Typically completed in 2–3 visits. Teeth are prepared on the first visit, veneers are fabricated in the lab, and bonded on the next visit — about 1–2 weeks total.
Can veneers fix severely discolored teeth?
Yes, even deep discoloration that whitening cannot resolve can be corrected with veneers. Each veneer is custom-made to match the shade of your surrounding teeth.
What precautions should I take after getting veneers?
Please avoid biting hard foods directly with veneered teeth. Regular dental check-ups are important, and if you grind your teeth, we recommend wearing a protective night guard.
Can veneers fix gaps between front teeth?
Yes, gaps (diastema) can be effectively closed with veneers — achieving straight, even front teeth without orthodontic treatment and in a much shorter timeframe.
What is digital smile design?
Using 3D digital scanners and CAD/CAM systems, we precisely design and fabricate your veneers. You can preview your new smile before the procedure, ensuring high satisfaction.
Where is The Seoul Dental Clinic located?
The Seoul Dental Clinic is located in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do — right in front of Taepyeong Station Exit 5. It's immediately visible from the subway exit, making public transit visits extremely convenient.
How do I get there from Taepyeong Station?
We are located right in front of Taepyeong Station Exit 5. You'll see us within one minute of exiting — no navigation needed.
