See a dentist in Korea on a plan built around your flights
Seeing a dentist in Korea from abroad is a scheduling problem before it is a dental one. Dental implants need healing time between steps. Veneers need lab days. KCODI sends your X-rays to Korean dental clinics first, so the dentist tells you how many visits and how many trips you need before you book a flight. You pay the local rate, and an interpreter sits by the chair.

- X-rays reviewed before you book anything

Why book a Korean dental clinic through KCODI

01
An interpreter who knows dental terms
Fixture, abutment, crown, bone graft. She explains each line of the plan in plain English before you agree to it.

02
She speaks for you when your mouth is full
You can't talk mid-treatment. You agree on hand signals with her first, and she says it for you: pain, pause, "what is he doing now?"

03
Local rate, priced per tooth
Your quote lists the implant brand, the crown material, a bone graft if needed, and the price per tooth. No foreigner markup, nothing added at the chair without your yes.

04
A plan that fits your flights
Lab days, healing days and check-ups are laid against your dates. Between visits you are free, and she tells you where the good soft-food places are.

Booking direct vs booking with KCODI
Same clinic, same surgeon. What changes is who is on your side of the desk.
What clinics offer differs. Ask us about the clinic you have in mind and we tell you what applies there.
What patients worry about before dental work in Korea
Can I get dental implants in one trip?
Usually not. The standard course is two trips: the implant post goes in on the first, the bone heals for roughly three to six months, and the crown goes on at the second. Some cases allow a same-day temporary tooth. The dentist decides that from your CT scan, not from a brochure.
Who fixes it if something goes wrong at home?
Ask this before you pay. Get the clinic's warranty terms, the implant brand and the part numbers in writing, so a dentist at home can work with them. The large Korean implant brands are sold in many countries. Your interpreter stays reachable and relays your photos and questions to the clinic.
Will they shave down healthy teeth for veneers?
It depends on the veneer type and your teeth. Some need a thin layer of enamel removed, and that can't be undone. Ask the dentist to show you how much, on a model, before you agree. Your interpreter asks about minimal-prep options for you.
What you can hold us to

Quote first, deposit later
You never pay a deposit before you hold a written, itemised quote.

A name and a face before you fly
You know who your interpreter is, and which language she speaks, before you board.

You pay us nothing
No booking fee, no interpreter fee, no fee for asking. The clinic pays our coordination fee.

Your stay in Seoul for dental work
Whitening takes one visit. Veneers and the first implant stage usually take 5 to 7 days with about three visits, because the lab needs time in between. Dental work leaves you free between appointments, so it is the easiest treatment to combine with a holiday.
Send a panoramic X-ray or CT from home first. The plan gets more exact and your first visit gets shorter.
After implant surgery: soft, cool food for a few days, no straws, no smoking, no alcohol.
Keep one free day at the end of your trip for a final bite adjustment.
Take your X-rays, implant brand and part numbers home with you, in English.
