Dental veneers in Korea are significantly more affordable than in many Western countries, while still offering high-quality results thanks to modern clinics and advanced technologies. Prices vary depending on the material used, clinic location, and complexity of your case.

Here’s a clear breakdown of typical veneer costs in Korea (especially in Seoul) for 2025:

2) Clinic & Lab Quality
Clinics with in-house labs or high-end cosmetic teams may charge more for custom aesthetics and digital design workflows.

3) Number of Teeth
Most smile makeovers involve multiple veneers (e.g., 6–10 on the upper front), so total costs add up – but many clinics offer package pricing for larger cases. MAKE Dental

4) Additional Procedures
If you need pre-treatment (gum contouring, orthodontics) or follow-ups, expect higher overall costs. Gangnam Dentique Clinic

🪙 Cost Comparison: Korea vs Other Countries

To put these numbers in perspective:

• In the United States or UK, porcelain veneers often cost $800–$3,000+ per tooth.
• In Korea, similar porcelain veneer quality can be 40–70% less expensive than in many Western countries.

This cost advantage, combined with advanced dental technology and cosmetic expertise, is why many international patients choose Seoul for veneers.

🪥 Total Budget Considerations

When planning veneer treatment in Korea, remember to account for:

• Consultation & scans (often included but sometimes billed separately)
• Follow-ups or adjustments
• Travel and accommodation if you’re visiting from abroad
• VAT/tax on cosmetic treatments (around 10%) — ask your clinic what’s included
