What international patients come to us for

Implants

Navigation-guided dental implants

A 3D CT scan maps nerves and bone before surgery, so the implant position is planned and tested digitally first. Planning this way helps protect nerves and preserve bone. Patients with several missing teeth can have them placed in one session under sedation.

Dental implants in Korea
Cosmetic

Todaynate: same-day no-prep veneers

Our in-house lab makes thin ceramic veneers that need no tooth reduction, or less than 0.1 mm, usually without anaesthetic. Come in the morning and leave with them that afternoon. Suitable for gaps, chips, discolouration and mildly uneven front teeth.

Porcelain veneers
Orthodontics

Clear aligners & Invisalign

Clear aligners straighten teeth with removable, near-invisible trays. Treatment starts with photos and an intraoral scan, then a plan built around the cause of your bite problem. Braces, lingual braces and retainers are also available.

Comfort

Sedation dentistry for anxious patients

IV conscious sedation puts you in a light, drowsy state while you keep breathing on your own. Blood pressure and heart rate are monitored throughout, and you rest in a recovery room afterwards. Plan to bring a companion and not to drive that day.

Wisdom teeth removal
Same day

Same-day crowns & restorations

A 3D intraoral scan and our in-house dental lab let us design, make and fit many ceramic crowns in a single visit. Our dentists and technicians check colour and shape together before the crown is placed.

Same-day crowns
Gums

Gum treatment & pinhole gum reshaping

Bleeding gums or loose teeth call for periodontal care. For a gummy smile, minimally invasive gum contouring reshapes the gumline with less bleeding and a shorter procedure.
