"Every clinic is audited against 47 safety criteria by our Medical Board of Excellence."
Meet Our Medical Board arrow_forwardKorean dental care is world-class but private implant work is expensive at Gangnam-tier clinics — a single implant averages ₩2,500,000–₩4,000,000, All-on-4 runs ₩18,000,000–₩24,000,000 per arch. National Health Insurance covers limited implant procedures for patients 65 and over (최대 2개) but the coverage is capped. Most complex dental work is paid out-of-pocket.
Incheon's direct flight network makes Southeast Asia genuinely accessible. HCMC is 5 hours, Bangkok 6 hours, Manila 4 hours — often cheaper than a round-trip to Jeju. The typical Korean SmileJet patient is 45–70 years old, has been quoted ₩10,000,000+ at home, and increasingly sees Southeast Asia as a natural place to combine dental care with travel.
Every SmileJet quote is in KRW, support operates during Korean business hours via WhatsApp and KakaoTalk, and partner clinics are vetted against 47 safety criteria. Many partner dentists trained in Korea, the US, or Germany. Korean-speaking coordinators available at select clinics. Post-treatment, we coordinate records with your Korean dentist and back every clinic with the SmileJet Global Warranty.
Manila is the shortest flight (4 hrs) with a strong Korean expat community. HCMC offers the lowest prices at a 5-hour flight. Bangkok has the most mature infrastructure. KL sits between price points. Most Koreans choose based on treatment scale and preferred holiday combination.
Look for ISO 9001 or JCI accreditation, dentists with internationally recognised credentials (Korean, US, or EU training ideal), verifiable material sourcing (Osstem, Dio, Straumann, Nobel Biocare, IPS E.max), and fluent English or Korean communication. Google reviews with recent dates, patient photos, and a written warranty you can take home are non-negotiable.
Most Koreans plan 4–8 weeks out. Send X-rays to SmileJet, receive 2–3 matched clinic options within 48 hours, confirm your preferred clinic, book flights and accommodation. Bring your dental history (진료 기록), medication list, and travel insurance. On return, share your clinic's treatment file with your Korean dentist.
