Key Takeaways
If you are a foreign patient planning a dental visit in Seocho-gu (서초구), keep the Korean clinic names and addresses below — you can show them to a taxi driver. Language support varies by clinic and is not recorded in the source data, so confirm by phone or on the clinic's booking page whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be available before you book. Bring your passport or ARC, your insurance details, and any previous X-rays or CT images. Read on for what to check when choosing a clinic for wisdom tooth extraction in Seocho-gu: do not decide on review counts alone, and instead confirm directly whether the clinic offers extraction consultations, whether it can take imaging, and whether a specialist will see you. In the data provided, Kakao Map ratings were highest for Oksusu Dental Clinic (4.9 from 222 reviews) and Deoganghan Dental Clinic Bangbae (4.7 from 121 reviews). Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic has three dentists listed with the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA), including one oral and maxillofacial specialist, and four cone-beam CT units on record. Goreuda Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch likewise has one oral and maxillofacial specialist, four dentists in total, and four cone-beam CT units on record. The visitor reviews provided, however, do not deal in detail with wisdom tooth extraction experience, so it is not possible to state that any one clinic is better at it.
Review counts and ratings are reference points for choosing a clinic. Naver ratings in particular were not included in the collected data, and each clinic's opening hours and whether it performs wisdom tooth extraction should be confirmed by phone before you visit.
How We Analyzed
We collected and analyzed 6,998 Naver Place visitor reviews, 2,598 Kakao Map reviews, and registration data from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. The five selected clinics average 4.6 on Kakao Map. Each clinic profile reflects the Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts and ratings provided, along with opening hours, address and transit, amenities, and specialist information registered with HIRA. Naver ratings and Google review counts were not in the source material, so we did not estimate them. Review counts are tallied per platform, and duplicate posts by the same user could not be verified, so the totals cannot be read as numbers of unique visitors. The quotations below are a selection of the reviews provided.
연세더편한치과의원 (Yonsei The Pyeonhan Dental Clinic)
Yonsei The Pyeonhan Dental Clinic is on the fourth floor of Umyeon Plaza II, 68 Taebong-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul (서울 서초구 태봉로 68 우면프라자II 4층). The review counts provided are 157 on Naver, 75 on blogs, and 23 on Kakao; the Kakao rating is 4.2 and the Google rating is 3. Naver ratings and Google review counts are not in the source data. The number of dentists registered as specialists with HIRA could not be confirmed, so if specialist care matters to you, ask the clinic directly. The reviews describe explanations before and after treatment, thorough care, staff manner, and convenient parking, but no wisdom tooth extraction experience was identified.
"The director consults with you himself before and after treatment. He explains honestly which teeth need work and which don't, and what the treatment options are. Above all, he is very skilled. He treats you delicately without pain, so I keep coming back with peace of mind." (Daengeuni, September 29, 2026)
"The facility is clean and the care is really thorough! The director consults with you in person every time and explains everything in detail, and that is what I like most." (Dajaeseo, September 7, 2026)
The transit information says to leave Seonbawi Station Exit 1, take Seocho bus 18, 541, or 917, ride five stops, and get off at Nature Hill Complex 5. Part of the route description is cut off in the text provided, so it is worth confirming the way with the clinic before you set out. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 09:30–18:30, and Saturday 09:00–13:30; Thursday and Sunday hours were not provided. Lunch hours are also missing from the data and need confirming. Reservations, simple payment, and parking are listed as amenities. When you book, ask whether the clinic extracts wisdom teeth, how much appointment time is set aside depending on how deeply the tooth is impacted, whether imaging is done in-house, and how parking works. A simple extraction and a fully impacted extraction can differ in difficulty and cost, so a consultation beforehand is practical.
강남레옹치과의원 (Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic)
Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic is on the fourth floor of 415 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul (서울 서초구 강남대로 415 4층), 122 m from Gangnam Station Exit 10. The data includes 1,747 Naver reviews, 2,058 blog reviews, and 518 Kakao reviews; the Kakao rating is 4.4 and the Google rating is 4.7. HIRA lists three specialists — one each in oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics, and periodontics — and four cone-beam CT units are recorded. A registered oral and maxillofacial specialist is one factor you can check at a wisdom tooth consultation, but the data alone does not show who will perform an individual extraction or how much extraction experience the clinic has. The reviews cover waiting times and staff manner for general care, and orthodontic treatment.
"After booking a general appointment, I waited less than 10 minutes; the nurses and the doctor were kind, and the treatment was thorough and quick." (Pponiaeyong, November 8, 2026)
"The staff are always kind and the clinic is clean, which I really like. Even though it's a dental clinic, I'm never scared and always leave having been treated comfortably. The scaling is very neat too." (HHH412, November 6, 2026)
Hours are Monday and Thursday 10:00–21:00, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 10:00–19:00, and Saturday and Sunday 10:00–15:00. Evening hours are listed for Monday and Thursday, but lunch hours are not in the source data. Reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed. Before visiting, check whether the wisdom tooth extraction consultation and the imaging appointment have to be booked separately, and whether extractions are available in the evening or at weekends. The cost of extraction can vary with the position of the tooth and how deeply it is impacted, and if it sits close to the nerve canal, CT imaging or a referral to a larger medical institution may be needed.
더강한치과의원 방배 (Deoganghan Dental Clinic Bangbae)
Deoganghan Dental Clinic Bangbae is on the fourth floor of Bangbae Central Building, 83 Bangbae-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul (서울 서초구 방배로 83 방배센트럴빌딩 4층), 41 m from Bangbae Station Exit 3. The data includes 1,345 Naver reviews, 640 blog reviews, and 121 Kakao reviews; the Kakao rating is 4.7 and the Google rating is 5. Naver ratings and Google review counts are not in the source data. The number of dentists registered as specialists with HIRA could not be confirmed. The reviews mention checkups and scaling, treatment with sufficient explanation, and waiting times when visiting without an appointment. No specific reviews of wisdom tooth extraction were provided, so you need to confirm directly whether the clinic handles extractions.
"I had my national health checkup and scaling here and was satisfied enough to leave a review. From the checkup to the scaling, I was treated comfortably and without any inconvenience. Above all the scaling was really thorough, so I plan to come back." (ryu****, November 4, 2026)
"The doctors are kind. They explain in detail and do the treatment you need. I went at 6 p.m. without a reservation and was seen after waiting only a few minutes." (you****, November 2, 2026)
Hours are Monday and Tuesday 10:00–20:30, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 10:00–19:00, and Saturday and Sunday 09:30–14:00. Evening hours are listed for Monday and Tuesday, and lunch hours are not in the data. Reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are the amenities provided. Ask in advance how bookings are made, whether wisdom tooth consultations are available at weekends, and how aftercare instructions are given. The imaging required and the length of the appointment can differ depending on whether it is a simple extraction or an impacted one, so if you already have X-rays or a CT scan, ask whether they can be used at the consultation.
옥수수치과의원 (Oksusu Dental Clinic)
Oksusu Dental Clinic is on the third floor of 483 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul (서울 서초구 강남대로 483 3층), 67 m from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 2. The data includes 302 Naver reviews, 512 blog reviews, and 222 Kakao reviews; the Kakao rating is 4.9 and the Google rating is 4.8. Naver ratings and Google review counts are not in the source data. The number of HIRA-registered dental specialists is not in the data. The reviews mention explanations during treatment, checkup and scaling experiences, and staff who look out for patients' anxiety. However, no quoted review in the source data describes a wisdom tooth extraction directly.
"This is a clinic I have been going to steadily for a long time. The director and the nurses treat me kindly every visit and explain things well, so I trust them. They are thorough with treatment, and I want to keep coming here." (Gwiyeomdungi, November 10, 2026)
"I once had an uncomfortable scaling at another clinic, so I am careful about choosing a dentist, but at Oksusu every scaling has been comfortable and I have never had a problem." (HEELOg, October 31, 2026)
Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 09:30–18:30, Thursday 09:30–20:30, and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Evening hours are listed for Thursday, and Sunday hours were not provided. Lunch hours are not in the data. Reservations, parking, simple payment, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are the amenities provided. Before you visit, confirm the extraction consultation booking, whether imaging is available, and parking and Thursday appointment hours. A Kakao rating of 4.9 does not say anything about extraction outcomes, so it is better to have the position and difficulty of your wisdom tooth assessed first and then compare treatment plans.
고르다치과의원 강남점 (Goreuda Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch)
Goreuda Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch is on floors 8 and 9 of Seoho Building, 10 Gangnam-daero 69-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul (서울 서초구 강남대로69길 10 서호빌딩 8·9층), 406 m from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 7. The data includes 3,447 Naver reviews, 5,602 blog reviews, and 1,714 Kakao reviews. The Google rating is 3.6, and the Kakao rating and Google review count are not in the source data. HIRA lists four specialists — two in prosthodontics, one in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and one in periodontics — and four cone-beam CT units are recorded. The reviews centre on implant consultations and treatment; no specific cases of wisdom tooth extraction were provided.
"After booking the implant I was seen straight away, and even after moving I still come back to Goreuda, the clinic I already used — the satisfaction from the treatment outweighs the distance." (kimjang2128, November 10, 2026)
"I didn't understand why a bone graft was needed, but seeing the photos while it was explained made it clear. It didn't feel like they were pushing treatment for no reason." (Mamimadeol1005, November 10, 2026)
Hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 10:00–19:00, Tuesday and Thursday 10:00–20:30, and Saturday 10:00–14:00. Evening hours are listed for Tuesday and Thursday, and Sunday hours and lunch hours are not in the source data. Reservations, parking, valet parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed. Before visiting, check the terms and cost of valet parking, how to book a wisdom tooth extraction, and which department handles it. Even with an oral and maxillofacial specialist on record and CT equipment listed, how each patient is treated and whether an extraction is possible are decided after examination and consultation.

Checklist for Choosing a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Clinic
- Whether the clinic extracts wisdom teeth — First confirm that the clinic handles both simple and impacted wisdom tooth extractions.
- Who performs the extraction — Ask who handles the consultation and the extraction, and whether an oral and maxillofacial specialist is available.
- Assessing the position and difficulty of the tooth — Have the tooth's position relative to the gum, and whether it is impacted, examined and explained to you.
- Distance from the nerve canal — If the tooth is close to the nerve canal, ask whether additional CT imaging or a referral to a larger medical institution is needed.
- Imaging and extraction costs — Confirm how the charges for imaging, anaesthesia, extraction, and any additional treatment are applied.
- Booking and waiting — Ask in advance whether you need a consultation-only appointment and whether same-day extraction is possible.
- Aftercare instructions — Check that you will be told how to manage bleeding and pain, what to eat, and when to come back.
- How to make contact in an emergency — Confirm the phone number and procedure for problems that arise outside opening hours.
- Transit and parking — Given how you will travel after an extraction, check public transport, parking, or valet terms.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- If a clinic states that extraction is necessary without explaining the examination results or the position of the tooth, go back over the examination and the treatment plan.
- If you are rushed into payment without an explanation of the cost items and any additional tests needed, ask what each item costs and why it is required.
- If you cannot get a specific answer about how close the tooth is to the nerve canal or how deeply it is impacted, ask for a fuller explanation.
- If you are not told about aftercare or whom to contact if something goes wrong, confirm this before treatment.
These points are not an assessment of any particular clinic but general things a patient should check during a consultation. Diagnosis and treatment methods depend on your own oral condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
When choosing a wisdom tooth extraction clinic in Seocho-gu, what should I check first?
Start by confirming whether the clinic can assess the position and impaction of your wisdom tooth, and whether it explains who will perform the extraction and what imaging is planned. Review ratings and review counts are reference material and do not guarantee an extraction outcome.
How much does wisdom tooth extraction cost?
According to the reference information provided, a simple extraction costs about 10,000–30,000 KRW as the patient's share under National Health Insurance, and a fully impacted extraction around 50,000–100,000 KRW. The actual figure can differ depending on your condition and on imaging or additional treatment, so confirm the real cost with the clinic before you visit.
What happens if a wisdom tooth is close to the nerve canal?
The reference information provided notes that a tooth close to the nerve canal may require CT imaging and referral to a university hospital. Whether imaging and treatment are needed is decided by the dentist after examining your condition.
If a clinic has a high review rating, does that mean it is good at wisdom tooth extraction?
It cannot be stated that way. The reviews in this material cover general care, checkups, scaling, orthodontics, and implants, and for some clinics no wisdom tooth extraction experience could be specifically identified. Ask about extraction services and the treatment plan directly at a consultation.
Can I be treated in English at these clinics?
The source data for these five clinics does not record language services, so we cannot confirm that any of them has English-speaking staff, an interpreter, or an international patient desk. Call the clinic or check its booking page and ask directly: whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be available on the day you plan to visit, whether you can book by phone or online, and whether bringing a written summary of your symptoms or previous X-rays would help. Because the treatment plan and costs are explained during the consultation, it is worth confirming in advance that the person performing the extraction can explain them in a language you understand.
Can I have a consultation and the extraction on the same day?
Whether same-day extraction is possible at each clinic is not in the data provided. When you book, tell them the position of the wisdom tooth and your symptoms, mention whether you already have X-rays or scans, and ask whether the consultation and the extraction can be done on the same day.
Final Thoughts
When comparing wisdom tooth extraction clinics in Seocho-gu, check not only reviews and access but also whether an oral and maxillofacial specialist is registered, whether imaging is available, and how clearly the extraction plan and costs are explained. In the data provided, the Kakao ratings are 4.9 for Oksusu Dental Clinic and 4.7 for Deoganghan Dental Clinic Bangbae, and specialist and cone-beam CT details are on record for Gangnam Leon Dental Clinic and Goreuda Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch. That information alone cannot tell you how an extraction at a particular clinic will turn out or which treatment suits you personally. This article is reference material based on collected reviews and publicly registered information and is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. Ask the clinic about specific services and costs and consult the dentist; if language is a concern, confirm beforehand that an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be available for your appointment.
