- Visitors who want a cleaning during their stay
- Anyone who has not seen a dentist for a while
At Oaks Dental Clinic
Digital panoramic X-rays and, when needed, 3D CT give a complete picture of your teeth and jaws. Findings are explained in English, and your records can be provided in English for your dentist at home.
What a check-up covers
Cavities, gum condition, existing restorations and your bite are checked so that problems are found early. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and along the gum line; brief sensitivity afterwards is normal.
Visits and timing for visitors
A check-up and cleaning fit within a 1–2 day stay. If treatment is needed, we tell you what is realistic during your visit.
The number of visits and treatment duration depend on your diagnosis. A personalized treatment plan will be provided after examination.
Before you travel
Send your panoramic x-ray, ct scan, photos of your teeth, existing treatment plan or medical records by email or WhatsApp. The preliminary review is free, and we reply with whether treatment is likely to be possible, the expected number of visits, an estimated cost range and available dates. A preliminary review is not a final diagnosis.
Costs
Your cost depends on the number of teeth, complexity, materials and laboratory work, and is confirmed in a written estimate (Korean won, VAT included) before treatment begins. How costs are decided →
Aftercare and warranty
Check-ups and cleaning are not warranty items. You leave with written aftercare instructions in English, and online consultation after you return home is always available. Aftercare and warranty →
