Complete Dental Tourism Guide — From Implants to Laminates
Foreign patients visiting Korea for dental care are increasing over 30% annually. Implants, all-ceramic crowns, laminates, and clear aligners cost 50–70% less than in Western countries.
Pre-Treatment Preparation — Remote Consultation
Through MediQueen, send panoramic X-rays or CT scans before arriving in Korea. Your dentist will provide a preliminary diagnosis and treatment plan remotely, allowing treatment to begin immediately upon arrival.
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
Day 1: Comprehensive oral exam + 3D CT scan + final treatment plan
Days 1–3: Implant placement or tooth preparation + temporary prosthetics
Healing period: Implants require 2–4 months for osseointegration (you can return home)
Final visit: Permanent prosthetics + occlusion adjustment + aftercare instructions
Recommended Stay Duration by Treatment
- Laminates (6–10): 3–5 days
- All-ceramic crowns (1–4): 3–5 days
- Implants (1–2): First visit 2–3 days + return visit after 3 months
- Invisalign: First visit 2 days → change aligners at home for 6–12 months
- Teeth whitening: Same-day (1–2 hours)
