COSTS AND FUNDING

Compare a complete journey,
not a starting price.

Keep the original clinic quote in Korean won. When comparing in pounds, note the exchange rate, date and payment fees. Ask about exclusions and what happens if your plan changes after examination.

Four parts of your own budget
  1. KRW quote

    Clinical care

    Assessment, treatment, temporary work, final work and reviews.

  2. GBP bookings

    Travel and stay

    Flights, accommodation, local transport and time away.

  3. Agreed care

    Return and follow-up

    Further trips, UK reviews and ongoing maintenance.

  4. Unknowns

    Changes and problems

    Extra nights, altered treatment and costs outside insurance.

Fill these categories with current written estimates. No clinic prices or savings percentages are assumed.

EXPLORE THE PEOPLE AND PLACE

Know who will treat you.

Use the existing clinic and dentist profiles to inspect published backgrounds and treatment information. Contact the provider through its international website to confirm current arrangements. This UK edition does not imply that a provider has UK registration or a particular consultation language.

In pain now?

Do not postpone urgent assessment while planning travel. Use local dental services where you are. Severe mouth, lip, throat or neck swelling with difficulty breathing or opening an eye, heavy mouth bleeding that will not stop, or serious facial or jaw injury needs emergency care. In the UK, call 999 or go to A&E.
