International patients
A dental clinic that works the way you'd hope one would back home
Living abroad, healthcare is where the language barrier hurts most. You shouldn't have to bring a Korean friend to understand your own teeth. Here, English isn't an accommodation we make — it's how the clinic runs for international patients.
Who we serve
Built for people living international lives in Korea
Our international patients aren't dental tourists chasing the cheapest chair — they're people who live, work, study, and raise families here and want ongoing care they can genuinely understand.
- Expats and international professionals working in Korea
- English teachers and university students
- Foreign spouses and multicultural families
- U.S. military personnel and families in the region
- Long-term residents who never found a dentist they trust
- Visitors who need care planned around travel dates
What English communication actually means here
Not a slogan — a workflow
English end to end
From your first WhatsApp message to your aftercare sheet, communication happens in English — with an English-speaking coordinator managing your case and Dr. Doh explaining the dentistry himself.
Nothing without your understanding
You'll see your own X-rays, hear every option including 'wait and watch', and approve the written plan and price before we pick up a single instrument.
Evidence you can see
Digital X-rays, 3D CT, and intraoral scans mean the explanation isn't 'trust me' — it's on the screen in front of you.
Planned around your life
Evening hours twice a week, Saturday mornings, treatment compressed around flight dates when clinically safe, and follow-up by message after you leave.
Before, during, after
What working with us looks like

Before you visit
Message us in English on WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, or email. Describe your concern, attach photos or an existing panoramic X-ray if you have one, and tell us your schedule constraints. Tommy, our English patient coordinator, replies with honest options and prices in won.

At the clinic
Examination and imaging, then a plain-English explanation of what we found with your scans on screen. You get the treatment plan and full cost in writing — and time to think. No same-chair pressure.

During treatment
Every step is narrated as much or as little as you want. Anxious? Conscious sedation is available after a medical review. In-house lab work means fewer visits and faster fixes when adjustments are needed.

After treatment
Aftercare instructions in English, and continued follow-up by message — including when you're back home in another country. If something feels wrong, you can reach us in your own language.
U.S. military community
For U.S. service members & families in Korea
Stationed in Korea and need a dentist you can actually talk to? We've cared for U.S. service members — including full-arch implant treatment — and we know what your paperwork needs to look like.
- English from your first message to your aftercare instructions — no translator needed
- Itemized English treatment records and receipts, prepared for your TRICARE claim (whether a procedure is covered depends on your plan — check with TRICARE first)
- Evening hours Tuesday & Wednesday until 9 PM, plus Saturday mornings — workable around duty schedules
- Every price published on this site in won, and quoted in writing before treatment
From a feedback form
“I received multiple dental implants. It was a wonderful experience at Seoul Today Dental. Dr. Doh is the best and so is Tommy and staff.”

International patients on how this actually feels
“They answered all of my questions regarding the entire process and gave me quotes on the surgery. When I arrived on my first visit, they were very welcoming and friendly toward me.”

“Communication before, during and after operation. It was welcoming, very fast and understandable.”
Georgi K.
Wisdom tooth removal
“Had a pleasant experience for my treatment and 1 year later I decided to bring my dad over to do his implants. He commented that the dentist was very efficient and quick and he did not feel any pain at all. We are going back in a few months time to include more procedures with the clinic.”
