What does a family dentist in Seoul provide?
A family dentist provides routine care for all ages: check-ups, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions and advice for children's teeth. Gangnam One Day Dental Clinic has 13 dentists across five departments, so if a family member needs gum treatment, oral surgery, orthodontics or implants, they can be referred within the same clinic. Inquiries are handled on WhatsApp in four languages.

Everyday dental care under one roof
Most family dental needs are routine: a check-up, a dental cleaning, a small cavity needing a filling, a sensitive tooth or an infected tooth needing a root canal. The integrated dentistry team, including Dr. Choi Jae-woong, Dr. Yang Sung-eun, Dr. Park Jung-ho and Dr. Kang Hee-yoon, handles general care for adults and children.
When a problem goes further, the clinic's other departments are in the same Gangnam location: oral & maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, prosthodontics and orthodontics. That avoids sending your family to separate clinics for each step.
- Check-ups, X-rays and dental cleaning
- Tooth-coloured fillings for cavities
- Root canal treatment and crowns
- Tooth extractions and wisdom teeth
- Night guards for grinding and TMJ assessment
- Children's check-ups and early orthodontic evaluation
For expat families and visitors
Many families living in or visiting Seoul want a dentist who explains treatment in their language. The team responds in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and all inquiries go through WhatsApp, so you can send photos, X-rays or questions before deciding to visit.
For children, early check-ups focus on prevention: fluoride, sealants and monitoring how adult teeth erupt. See our pediatric dentistry page for details.
Not sure if this is right for you? Send a photo or X-ray — a dentist replies on WhatsApp in English, Chinese or Japanese.
Get a free opinionWhen general care becomes specialist care
A family dentist should know when to refer. Deep gum pockets go to the periodontics team, impacted wisdom teeth to oral surgery, missing teeth to the implant and prosthodontic teams, and crowded teeth to orthodontics led by Dr. Kim Do-hoon.
Because records, X-rays and 3D CT scans stay in one clinic, the next dentist sees the full history without repeating tests unnecessarily.

| Bleeding gums, pockets | Periodontics | 2–4 |

| Crooked teeth | Orthodontics | Consultation, then monthly |

- Visit 1
Clear plan and estimate
The dentist explains findings, options and an estimate for each person, and what is urgent versus what can wait.
- Same or next visit
Treatment
Cleanings and small fillings can often be done the same day. Larger treatment is scheduled around your family's timetable.
- Every 6–12 months
Recall
Regular check-ups catch small problems early, when treatment is simpler and less costly.
Things to know before you decide
- Not every treatment can be done in one day; root canals, crowns and gum therapy usually need several visits.
- Very young or anxious children may need a short familiarisation visit before treatment.
- Some medical conditions or medications, such as blood thinners, need to be shared before treatment.
- Korean national health insurance coverage depends on eligibility; ask the team what applies to you.
