Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of your smile — whitening, veneers, and natural-looking ceramic restorations. We focus on results that look natural, and explain what's realistic for your teeth before you commit.
Cosmetic work changes how your teeth look, but it's still dentistry — the bite has to work and the teeth underneath have to be healthy. The most useful conversation is usually about what's realistic for your teeth, and which of the options changes the least to get there.
Decay and gum disease are treated before cosmetic work, and if your concern is mainly about alignment, orthodontics often gives a better result with less removal of healthy tooth.
Changes the colour of your own teeth without removing any tooth structure. Existing crowns and fillings don't change colour, so they may need replacing afterwards to match.
Small chips and uneven edges corrected with composite, usually in a single visit.
Thin facings bonded to the front of the teeth. Less tooth is removed than for a crown, but it isn't nothing — and it can't be undone.
For teeth that are heavily filled, cracked, or already crowned, where a veneer wouldn't hold.
We start with what actually bothers you about your smile, because that decides which treatment is worth doing.
We check the health of the teeth and gums first, and scan so the design is based on your real bite.
We set out what each option would achieve, what it costs, and what it removes from your teeth permanently — in writing, in English.
Whitening and bonding are quick. Veneers and crowns are made to fit, tried in, and adjusted for shade and bite before they're fixed.
Whitening fades and needs topping up; veneers and crowns need the gum line kept clean. We tell you what upkeep your choice involves before you choose it.
Veneers and ceramic restorations are designed by our prosthodontics specialist — the field concerned with how restorations look, fit, and hold up under a real bite.

These are the items that make up an estimate for cosmetic.
We don't publish a price we can't stand behind. Your figure is confirmed in writing after the 3D scan and examination, itemised so you can compare it.
It depends on why they're discoloured. Surface and age-related staining usually responds well; a tooth darkened from the inside after root canal treatment is a different problem with a different solution. We'll tell you which yours is before you pay for anything.
Veneers need a thin layer of the tooth's front surface removed, which can't be reversed. It's less than a crown requires, but it is permanent — so it's worth checking first whether whitening, bonding, or orthodontics would get you what you want.
Not necessarily. Whitening changes natural tooth, not ceramic or composite, so existing restorations at the front may end up looking darker and need replacing to match. We'll point out which ones before you start.
Purely cosmetic work is private pay. Crowns placed to restore a damaged tooth are often partly covered by NHIS, which is a different situation. We'll tell you which category your treatment falls into.
Yes, and that's the part of the consultation that matters most. We'll say what each option can and can't achieve for your teeth, in English, and give you the cost in writing before anything starts.

I did clear aligner treatment at Seoul Lab Dental Clinic in Uijeongbu, and the results are amazing. My teeth look so much better now, the price was very reasonable, and the whole process was comfortable and professional. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this dental clinic for foreigners living in the Uijeongbu city area. The English dentist is available three days a week. The treatment is communicated well and very comfortable. Dental costs are also communicated clearly especially for those who don't have additional dental insurance.
Several of the doctors speak English. I have visited the clinic twice, and on both occasions, they did not recommend any unnecessary treatments. They also clearly explained the cost before proceeding with any treatment, without me having to ask. The reception staff are also very easy to communicate with via KakaoTalk.
I visited because I had doubts about a diagnosis from another hospital claiming that root canal treatment was absolutely necessary, and I would have regretted not coming here. I was truly grateful for the honest explanation that the examination results showed the condition wasn't that serious. They explained everything thoroughly and step-by-step, and above all, I feel confident because there was absolutely no overtreatment. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an honest dental clinic!
