Porcelain Veneers in Gangnam Seoul

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that give front teeth a new colour and shape while looking natural.

In short: porcelain veneers are custom ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth to fix stains, chips, gaps or uneven shapes. They resist staining and can last many years with good care. A thin layer of enamel is usually shaped first, and treatment typically takes two to three visits.

Questions patients ask us

Porcelain veneers FAQ

How long do porcelain veneers last?
Many last 10 years or more with good care. Grinding, accidents and gum health affect lifespan.
Are porcelain veneers better than composite?
Porcelain resists stains and lasts longer; composite needs less enamel removal and is easier to repair. Your dentist explains which fits your goals.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Preparation is done under local anaesthetic. Teeth may feel sensitive for a few days.
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Seoul?
Cost depends on your diagnosis, the materials and the number of teeth or visits involved. After your examination we give you a written, itemised quote in English before any treatment begins.
Can I get veneers on a short trip?
Usually, yes. Plan for about one to two weeks in Seoul for two to three visits.
