Why International Patients Choose New York White Dental Clinic

New York White Dental Clinic is led by Director Kim Woong-bi, who built his clinical foundation on training and study at NYU College of Dentistry before returning to Korea. He personally performs implant surgeries at the clinic, with a particular focus on flapless (incision-free) navigation implant technique — a minimally invasive approach that uses digital planning to guide implant placement without the larger surgical flap used in conventional implant surgery. Director Kim has placed second in an international implant competition, and in 2024 the clinic received the Medical Brand Grand Prize at Korea's Best Brand Awards, hosted by the Korea Best Brand Association.

Alongside implants, the clinic has a strong focus on dental contouring (aesthetic reshaping) for patients with gapped front teeth, chipped teeth, naturally irregular tooth shapes, discoloration, or cavities affecting the front teeth — combining functional and cosmetic goals in a single treatment plan.

The clinic is built around efficiency for patients who cannot visit frequently, including those traveling from outside Seoul or from abroad: treatment plans are designed to minimize the number of visits required, using precise diagnostics up front to reduce the need for follow-up correction visits.

Director Kim Woong-bi's Background

Kim Woong-bi, Director. Director Kim built his clinical foundation through training and study at NYU College of Dentistry, later applying that training to implant and dental-contouring cases in his own Seoul practice. He personally performs implant surgeries rather than delegating them, with a specific clinical focus on flapless, minimal-incision technique. He has placed second in an international implant competition, and in 2024 New York White Dental Clinic received the Medical Brand Grand Prize at the 23rd Korea Best Brand Awards, hosted by the Korea Best Brand Association.

Signature Treatments & Technology

Flapless Navigation Implants: Rather than opening a large surgical flap, the clinic uses a digitally guided, minimal-incision approach to implant placement. A published meta-analysis comparing flapless and conventional flapped implant techniques found flapless approaches associated with implant survival rates of approximately 98.6% in prospective studies and 95.9% in retrospective studies.^[1]

Dental CT and Laser Diagnostics: The clinic uses dedicated dental CT and laser imaging equipment alongside ultrasonic surgical instruments, aimed at faster, more precise, and safer treatment.

Dentozone Sterilization System: The clinic uses an automated water sterilization system (branded "Dentozone" in-house) that activates only during treatment, intended to keep treatment water free of bacterial contamination.

Dental Contouring: For patients with gapped teeth, chipped front teeth, naturally irregular tooth shapes, discoloration, or front-tooth cavities, the clinic offers aesthetic reshaping treatment aimed at correcting these concerns without necessarily requiring full veneers or crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does New York White Dental Clinic treat international patients?
Yes. New York White Dental Clinic is a Registered Foreign Patient Attraction Institution under Korean law, and MTK notes English and Mongolian language support at the clinic. MTK additionally provides dedicated interpreters experienced in dental terminology for booking, treatment explanation, and cost confirmation.

What is flapless navigation implant surgery?
It's a minimally invasive implant technique that uses digital planning and guides to place the implant through a small opening rather than lifting a full surgical flap. Published research comparing the two approaches has found flapless techniques associated with high implant survival rates, generally comparable to or better than conventional flap surgery.

How much do dental implants cost at New York White Dental Clinic?
As a market reference, domestic-system implants in Korea generally run ₩700,000–₩1,800,000 per tooth, and imported/premium systems ₩1,300,000–₩2,500,000+ per tooth. Submit a free consultation request through MTK for a quote specific to your case, including whether the flapless technique is suitable for your bone condition.

What is dental contouring, and is it different from veneers?
Dental contouring at this clinic refers to reshaping teeth to correct gaps, chips, irregular shapes, or minor discoloration — sometimes without the more extensive preparation required for full veneers or crowns. Whether contouring alone is suitable for your case depends on the extent of correction needed; share photos through MTK for an initial assessment.

What are the clinic's hours?
The clinic generally operates in the afternoon and evening, from around 14:30 to 21:00. Confirm exact hours and any day-of-week variation with MTK before booking your appointment.

How do I get a price quote before traveling?
Contact MTK concierge with your dental concern or any existing X-rays for a written quote from the clinic before your visit — free of charge.
