How Much Are Veneers in Korea? Real Totals for 2 to 10 Teeth
How much are veneers in Korea, really? Not “from KRW 650,000,” but the total you will actually pay for your smile. That is a fair question, and it deserves a real answer.
Behind it sits a quieter fear. You fly all the way to Seoul, sit in the chair, and the quote suddenly doubles. More teeth, a “special” material, or a surcharge for being foreign.
So here are our totals by number of teeth, plus exactly what can and cannot change that figure.
A note from Dr. Kim
I understand that worry, because nobody should have to renegotiate their smile after a long flight.
“Minimal intervention, maximum beauty.” That idea shapes Blanche no-prep veneers, and it shapes how we quote: per tooth, itemized, before you decide anything.
How much are veneers in Korea per tooth?
At Blanche, every veneer is priced per tooth, VAT excluded. There are three tiers. The difference is who works on your case, how the porcelain is made, and how long the warranty runs.
- BASIC — KRW 650,000. 1-year warranty. Dentist-led, made by a Blanche Lab ceramist in Swiss ceramic with CAD/CAM.
- PLATINUM — KRW 850,000. 5-year warranty. Chief dentist and senior ceramist, with hand-layered Swiss ceramic fired at about 800°C and advanced shade layering.
- Signature PLATINUM — KRW 1,500,000. 10-year warranty. I am in charge personally, with a dedicated ceramist and hygienist, a VIP room, and gum contouring and other supporting treatments included.
The one-day option adds KRW 200,000 per tooth to any tier. It costs more because diagnosis, design, fabrication and adjustment are compressed into one day. The dentist and our in-house lab are fully dedicated to you for that day.
How much are veneers in Korea for 2 to 10 teeth?
Here are the totals. All figures are in KRW, VAT excluded.
| Number of teeth | BASIC | PLATINUM | Signature PLATINUM | One-day add-on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 teeth | 1,300,000 | 1,700,000 | 3,000,000 | +400,000 |
| 4 teeth | 2,600,000 | 3,400,000 | 6,000,000 | +800,000 |
| 6 teeth | 3,900,000 | 5,100,000 | 9,000,000 | +1,200,000 |
| 8 teeth | 5,200,000 | 6,800,000 | 12,000,000 | +1,600,000 |
| 10 teeth | 6,500,000 | 8,500,000 | 15,000,000 | +2,000,000 |
For example, 6 PLATINUM veneers done in one day come to KRW 5,100,000 plus 1,200,000, so KRW 6,300,000 before VAT.
We do not convert these into dollars, pounds or other currencies, because exchange rates change daily. Please check today’s rate when you read this.
Think of it like a restaurant menu with printed prices. It is not one that says “market price,” so you can add up the bill before you order.
Why 6–8 upper teeth is common
When you smile, the upper front teeth show first. For a symmetrical smile line, 6–8 upper teeth is common.
However, the right number depends on how wide your smile is. A wide smile shows more teeth toward the sides, and a narrower smile shows fewer. So the exam decides, not a package. Our guide on how many veneers you need explains how we count.
What is in the price, and what is not
How much are veneers in Korea once you are actually in the chair? This is where the fear of a doubled quote usually lives, so let me be specific.
What does not change your price
First, no-prep and minimal-prep cost the same. If your exam shows a tooth needs minimal prep under 0.1 mm, the price does not go up.
Second, Korean and international patients pay the same pricing. There is no foreigner surcharge.
Third, we usually need no temporaries, so there is no temporary-veneer step to budget for. If you have old veneers, we remove them with a laser, with no separate removal fee. Revision is priced the same as new treatment.
Why prices differ between clinics
Bonding quality is one reason. We use an Ivoclar adhesive system, among the highest-priced bonding systems. It is biocompatible and resists edge discoloration. So when you compare quotes, ask which bonding system each clinic uses.
What can add a line to your quote
Some things must come first. Gum inflammation, cavities, or heavy grinding are treated before veneers. With significant crowding, orthodontics may be suggested first to preserve tooth structure.
If your exam finds any of these, it appears as its own itemized line. You can then decide later, at home. Our article on veneers Korea cost goes deeper into each factor.
“How many teeth would I actually need?”
Send us just two photos: one of your face straight on, and one smiling. We will tell you roughly how many teeth show in your smile, so you can estimate your total before you fly.
Budgeting the whole trip
So how much are veneers in Korea once the trip is included? Flights and hotel are your own, and they depend on your city and season. Keep 2–3 days in Seoul: the treatment day, plus one recommended follow-up check.
One-day treatment takes about 4–5 hours on the day, or 5–6 hours with many teeth. You can go out while the lab works. We are a 30-second walk from Nonhyeon Station Exit 4 in Gangnam, about an hour from Incheon Airport.
For the full one-day program — technology, pricing, and booking — see our One-Day Veneers page.
In short, multiply the number of teeth by your tier price. Then add the one-day option if you choose it, VAT, and your own travel for 2–3 days. For step-by-step trip planning, see getting veneers in Korea.
Finally, remember the long view. Veneers are not something you must replace every few years. With proper care and regular check-ups, they can last over 10 years, and depending on care, 20–30 years or more.

Frequently asked questions
How much are veneers in Korea for a full smile?
For 6–8 upper teeth at Blanche, BASIC comes to KRW 3,900,000–5,200,000, PLATINUM to KRW 5,100,000–6,800,000, and Signature PLATINUM to KRW 9,000,000–12,000,000, VAT excluded. Your exam decides the exact number of teeth.
Do foreigners pay more for veneers in Seoul?
Not at Blanche. Korean and international patients pay the same pricing, and no-prep and minimal-prep veneers cost the same.
Can the price change after my exam?
The per-tooth price does not change. The exam can change the number of teeth, or show that gums, cavities or grinding need treatment first, and you receive itemized costs to decide later, at home.
Side effects and individual differences
Temporary sensitivity, a foreign-body feeling, or mild gum swelling can occur. Results and longevity vary with each person’s teeth and habits.
When I lecture to other dentists, I remind them that a clear quote is part of good treatment. A patient who trusts the number can focus on the smile itself. And that smile should be one that still works twenty years from now.
How your first consultation works
1. We listen to your concerns and the smile you want.
2. Based on your exam, we explain every available option.
3. We give itemized costs and timelines. You are welcome to decide later, at home.
We repeat every explanation at least four times, and no decision depends on one person’s judgment alone.
