국민건강보험공단 applies to international students once you’re enrolled (which you are), and most regular dental clinics accept it.

✅ Covered (Partially)

These are insured treatments, so you’ll usually pay 30–50% out-of-pocket:

• Dental consultation & basic exam
• X-rays
• Scaling (once per year)
• Simple tooth extractions
• Wisdom tooth removal (medical cases)
• Root canal treatment (basic materials)
• Amalgam / basic resin fillings

💡 Example: Wisdom tooth removal can cost as little as ₩5,000–10,000 with insurance.

❌ Not Covered (Out-of-Pocket)

These are considered cosmetic or premium:

• White cosmetic resin fillings (most front teeth)
• Crowns (zirconia, gold, ceramic)
• Veneers
• Implants
• Cosmetic orthodontics

💡 Example:

• Resin filling: ~₩80,000–120,000
• Zirconia crown: ~₩450,000–600,000

Prices vary widely by clinic, so getting 2–3 quotes is normal and smart.
