Visiting Seoul · APGUJEONG, SEOUL
Can I have a dental consultation in English in Seoul?
Plan a visit you can understand, from the first question to the next appointment.
The short answer
Yes. lofi esthetic dentistry offers English consultation in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul. The clinic is at 3F, 49 Apgujeong-ro 28-gil. You can request an appointment online and share your concerns and travel dates. A request needs clinic confirmation; do not assume that submitting a preferred time has secured the appointment.
Who are the dentists at lofi?
The team includes Dr. Ryan Kim and Dr. Joey Chung. Dr. Kim graduated from NYU College of Dentistry. Dr. Chung graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry and holds a Master of Public Health from the University of Southern California.
Their education and career histories are available in the clinic’s Meet Our Doctors section. If you want to see a particular dentist, ask about availability when requesting your appointment. A profile does not confirm who will be available at a particular time.
How do I request an English consultation?
Use the appointment request page and explain your main concern. You can also contact the clinic through the contact options on the website. State your preferred date and time in Korea time and include your travel dates if you are visiting from abroad.
Keep the clinic’s confirmation so that the agreed date and time are clear. An enquiry, a selected calendar slot or a discussion of possible dates should not be treated as a confirmed appointment without agreement.
What can I discuss at the first visit?
You can explain your concerns about a smile makeover, veneers, dental implants, full mouth restoration or teeth whitening. Discuss what you want to change and any problems with chewing, sensitivity or previous treatment. The appropriate treatment is determined after assessment.
Bring records you already have and questions about alternatives, treatment stages and follow-up. If you do not understand a term, ask the dentist to explain it before deciding. You do not need to choose a procedure before requesting a consultation.
How should I plan care around a trip to Korea?
Tell the clinic when you will leave Seoul and whether returning for further visits is possible. Ask which proposed visits involve assessment, treatment or follow-up. The clinic’s location is convenient for planning travel, but proximity to your hotel does not determine the treatment timeline.
Before returning home, ask what records and follow-up instructions you should keep. For an ongoing plan, clarify how care will be coordinated with your dentist at home.
