Key Takeaways
If you are visiting Garak-dong from abroad, be aware that language support varies by clinic and is not recorded in the public data used here — none of the five clinics below is confirmed to have English-speaking staff, so you must check by phone or on the clinic's booking page before you go. Booking is generally done by phone (numbers are listed for each clinic), and you should bring your passport or ARC, a list of current medications, and any previous dental records or X-rays. Ask in advance whether an English-speaking dentist or an interpreter can be present at your consultation.
If you are looking for an implant clinic in Garak-dong, the first place to check on the provided list is 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic). It has 895 Naver reviews and 6 specialists registered with the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (3 in integrated dental medicine, 1 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 1 in conservative dentistry, and 1 in prosthodontics). Its Google rating is 3.8, and some visitor reviews mention implant check-ups and implant surgery following a tooth extraction. One caveat: the address is provided only as the clinic name in the source data, so the exact road address still needs to be confirmed. The comparison below does not rank clinics by treatment outcome or effectiveness; it organizes the collected reviews, registry information and visiting convenience.
The other clinics compared here are 마음편한행복치과의원 개롱역점 (Maeum Pyeonhan Haengbok Dental Clinic, Gaerong Station Branch), 더블유치과의원 (W Dental Clinic), 서울이삭치과의원 (Seoul Isak Dental Clinic) and 서울리오치과의원 (Seoul Rio Dental Clinic). Ratings are shown only where the platform provided a value; unverified platform ratings were not estimated. Whether implants can be performed at all, and what your individual treatment plan would be, must be asked directly at each clinic.
How We Compared
We collected and compared 2,578 Naver Place visitor reviews, 1,678 Kakao Map reviews and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registry data. The average Kakao Map rating of the five selected clinics is 4.6 based on the summary data provided. Per-clinic review counts are the sum of the numbers displayed on Naver, Kakao and Google; blog reviews differ in nature from visitor reviews, so they were excluded from the totals. This is not a count of unique individuals after checking for duplicate postings across platforms, but the sum of the review counts displayed on each platform. Individual ratings are listed only where the provided data contained a value, and where separate information such as lunch hours or booking methods was missing, we say so and flag it as needing confirmation.
서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic)
This is the first clinic introduced in this comparison. It has 895 Naver reviews and 5,960 blog reviews, with Kakao and Google review counts each recorded as 0. Its Google rating is 3.8, and no Naver rating was provided. Specialists registered with the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service total 6: 3 in integrated dental medicine, 1 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, 1 in conservative dentistry and 1 in prosthodontics. Registered treatment areas include integrated dental medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, conservative dentistry and prosthodontics, and 1 cone-beam CT unit is registered. A specialist count or equipment list alone cannot predict your individual treatment outcome, so confirm the actual treatment plan during your consultation.
"I had gum treatment and a filling, and they checked my implant. No waiting, quick and kind guidance, and the treatment finished fast — I left feeling refreshed." (가연임, October 20, 2026)
"My tooth broke, so I had it extracted and then an implant. The surgery went well, and they even operated through lunchtime to help me — thank you." (푸른바람의꿈3, August 27, 2026)
Reviews also mention regular check-ups and scaling. The location is listed in the provided data as "206 m from Exit 3 of 5개롱역," so it is worth confirming the station name before you visit. Hours are Mon & Thu 09:30–21:00, Tue, Wed & Fri 09:30–18:30, and Sat 09:30–14:00; Sunday hours were not provided. Lunch hours are also unconfirmed, so call ahead. The address in the data consists only of the clinic name, so the exact address needs to be confirmed. The phone number is 02-6952-2788, and booking and parking are listed as available. The website is seoulkwondental.co.kr and the blog is blog.naver.com/oksusu_tooth. When you consult about an implant, separate your questions into whether extraction is needed, the treatment stages, the prosthesis, and any additional costs — and remember that reviews are individual experiences.
마음편한행복치과의원 개롱역점 (Maeum Pyeonhan Haengbok Dental Clinic, Gaerong Station Branch)
It has 720 Naver reviews and 444 Kakao reviews, for a total of 1,164, plus 3,014 blog reviews. The Kakao rating is 4, the Google rating is 3, and no Naver rating was provided. No information on the number of registered specialists was available. Specialist staffing therefore cannot be compared from the data alone, and it is best to ask directly about the treating dentist and the treatment plan during an implant consultation. Actual visitor reviews repeatedly describe calm explanations during oral examinations and treatment, and a stated preference for saving the natural tooth where possible. These are the writers' experiences and do not mean the same treatment applies to every patient.
"I booked an oral examination and went in. I found them while looking for a dental clinic near Gaerong Station, and the treatment was thorough and painless. I liked that they aim to save as much of my own tooth as possible." (lotto3211, October 23, 2026)
"I booked an oral examination and went in. They looked carefully and explained things calmly, which was good. I also liked that they explained a plan to save as much of the tooth as possible." (sonc****, October 21, 2026)
The address is 서울 송파구 오금로 404 원일빌딩 403호 (Wonil Building, Suite 403, 404 Ogeum-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul), listed as 42 m from Gaerong Station Exit 3. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:30–18:30, Sat 09:00–13:30, and Sun 09:00–13:00. Evening hours are not given in the provided data and lunch hours are unconfirmed, so call 0507-1365-2872 before visiting. Booking and parking are available, and separate men's and women's restrooms and Wi-Fi are listed. The website information was provided as a blog address. If you need implant treatment, ask when booking a consultation about the scope of examinations, the treatment period, whether extraction or bone grafting is required, and the cost. The phrase "no overtreatment" in reviews should be read only as that visitor's opinion.
더블유치과의원 (W Dental Clinic)
It has 212 Naver reviews and 27 Kakao reviews, for a total of 239, plus 122 blog reviews. A Kakao rating of 4.7 and a Google rating of 5 were provided, and no Naver rating was confirmed. The Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service information lists integrated dental medicine as a treatment area and 1 cone-beam CT unit. The number of specialists was not provided, so it cannot be compared numerically. Reviews include one user who says they are currently receiving implant treatment and one long-term patient who has had dental care there for years. Ratings and reviews are reference material for your decision; they do not guarantee suitability or results of any procedure.
"I'm having an implant done. Best of all, it doesn't hurt." (hja****, October 13, 2026)
"I've had everything here from cavity treatment to orthodontics. The director and the dental hygienists are all kind, and I trust them." (JJONG18, October 10, 2026)

Booking and parking are available, and a waiting area, Wi-Fi and simple payment options are listed. Detailed information is available on the website (wdentalgarak.com) and blog (blog.naver.com/wwdental). Reviews mention relocation or expansion, but confirm current facilities and procedures before visiting. For an implant consultation, it helps to ask item by item about the materials used, the prosthetic plan, whether bone grafting is needed, and the costs.
서울이삭치과의원 (Seoul Isak Dental Clinic)
It has 94 Naver reviews and 24 Kakao reviews, for a total of 118, plus 170 blog reviews. The Google rating was provided as 5, and no Naver or Kakao rating appears in the data. The Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registry lists 1 specialist in integrated dental medicine, several treatment areas and 1 cone-beam CT unit. Treatment areas include oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics and periodontics. Actual reviews mention a family member who started implant treatment and the explanations given about treatment, but those reviews alone cannot be generalized into a treatment outcome.
"My dad started implant treatment, and he's doing better with it than we first worried. He says the director explains what was done at each visit." (uyxj****, October 20, 2026)
"My teeth were sensitive and I wondered if it was a cavity, so I visited. I had been worrying and searching online for ages — I should have just come in sooner. It was the first time nerve treatment didn't hurt." (hgvm****, October 21, 2026)
The location is given in the provided data only as the clinic name, so the road address cannot be confirmed. It is listed as 335 m from Gaerong Station Exit 4, but confirm the station name before visiting. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:30–18:30 and Sat 09:30–13:00; Sunday hours, evening hours and lunch hours were not provided. Call 02-400-7728 to confirm the address, whether booking is required, and how to use parking. The convenience information lists booking and parking, and the blog is 서울이삭치과 블로그 at blog.naver.com/ysagseoul. When consulting about implant treatment, ask for the examination results and alternatives, the schedule for each treatment stage, and the costs — and if a family member comes with you, confirm the explanations together with the patient's consent.
서울리오치과의원 (Seoul Rio Dental Clinic)
It has 657 Naver reviews and 1,183 Kakao reviews, for a total of 1,840, plus 3,449 blog reviews. A Kakao rating of 5 and a Google rating of 3 were provided, and there is no Naver rating. No information on the number of registered specialists was available, so it cannot be confirmed. Visitor reviews cover scaling, wisdom tooth extraction and diagnosis, and the excerpted reviews provided do not make implant treatment experience easy to confirm. Review counts indicate the volume of user opinion only, not the standard of implant care.
"I had scaling after a check-up, and the dentist looked carefully and did the scaling cleanly." (seo****, October 15, 2026)
"Now I understand why so many patients have been coming here for years. They don't overtreat, and they diagnose exactly what the patient really needs." (gjhn****, October 5, 2026)
The address appears in the provided data only as the clinic name, so the exact road address needs to be confirmed. It is listed as 32 m from Songpa Station Exit 4. Hours are Mon & Wed 10:00–21:00, Tue, Thu & Fri 10:00–19:00, and Sat 09:30–14:00. Evening hours are shown for Mon & Wed, but confirm the actual cut-off for registration by phone.

The website is seoulrio.com, the blog is blog.naver.com/w676ilkv0aif3, and Instagram is instagram.com/seoulrio.

Implant Clinic Checklist
- Basis for diagnosis — Ask which examinations are needed and why an implant was judged appropriate.
- Alternatives — Ask whether there are options to preserve the tooth other than extraction.
- Treating clinician — Confirm who will handle the consultation and the procedure, and check the registered specialist information.
- Treatment stages — Ask about the planned stages — extraction, implant placement, prosthesis — and the expected timeline.
- Total cost — Separate the implant body from additional costs such as examinations, prosthesis and bone grafting.
- Materials and prosthesis — Ask which implant materials and which type of prosthesis will be used.
- Aftercare — Ask about the follow-up schedule and how to get in touch if a problem arises.
- Booking and hours — Confirm evening and weekend availability, the registration cut-off time and lunch hours.
- Parking and access — Confirm parking availability and the actual walking route from the entrance or station exit.

Warning Signs to Watch For
- Being rushed into treatment without examination or explanation — If the basis for diagnosis and the alternatives are hard to confirm, ask for an explanation.
- Costs not separated into totals and extras — It is better to get the cost items — materials, prosthesis, bone grafting — in writing.
- Claims that promise or guarantee results — Conditions and treatment courses differ between individuals, so treat guarantee-style language with caution.
- No clear aftercare plan — Confirm the follow-up schedule and how to contact the clinic at the consultation stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start when comparing implant clinics in Garak-dong?
In this data, 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) was introduced first according to the assigned order. Compare registered specialist information, review counts and ratings, distance and opening hours, then decide based on your own examination results and what you are told in consultation.
Do more reviews mean better implant treatment results?
No. Review counts and ratings are reference material for understanding user experience and do not guarantee an individual diagnosis or outcome. Implant suitability and the treatment plan must be confirmed through an actual examination and consultation.
How much do implants cost?
The provided 2026 reference range is 800,000–2,000,000 KRW per implant depending on the material. If bone grafting is required, 300,000–800,000 KRW may be added. Actual costs vary with the treatment plan and the items applied.
Does National Health Insurance cover implants for people aged 65 and over?
The provided data states that those aged 65 and over receive coverage for up to 2 implants over a lifetime, with an out-of-pocket cost of approximately 400,000–500,000 KRW. Confirm your individual eligibility and co-payment at the consultation.
Which clinics offer evening or weekend appointments?
According to the provided schedules, 서울권치과의원 (Seoulkwon Dental Clinic) lists hours until 21:00 on Mon & Thu, and 서울리오치과의원 (Seoul Rio Dental Clinic) until 21:00 on Mon & Wed. 마음편한행복치과의원 개롱역점 (Maeum Pyeonhan Haengbok Dental Clinic, Gaerong Station Branch) lists Saturday and Sunday hours, and the remaining three list Saturday hours. Registration cut-off times and lunch hours require a separate inquiry.
Can I book an implant consultation in English in Garak-dong?
The data used here does not record which languages are spoken at any of the five clinics, so we cannot say which of them can consult in English. What you can do is call the clinic directly (numbers are listed above) or use its booking page and ask whether an English-speaking dentist or a medical interpreter can be scheduled for your appointment, whether the treatment plan and cost estimate can be provided in writing in English, and how much of the consultation will actually be conducted in English. If English-speaking support is essential for you, confirm it before paying a deposit or booking a surgery date.
Final Thoughts
When choosing an implant clinic in Garak-dong, it is better not to rely on review numbers alone but to check the basis for diagnosis, the treating clinician, the treatment stages and total cost, aftercare, and the practical journey to the clinic. For international patients, add one more step: confirm English-speaking availability by phone or on the booking page before you travel. This article summarizes the provided reviews, Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registry data and opening-hours information; it does not guarantee the treatment effectiveness of any institution or recommend treatment. Addresses, hours, ratings and other details can change, so check with the clinic before visiting. Medical information here is general reference material only, and individual diagnosis and treatment should be decided through consultation with a clinician.
