 |
|
I'm long overdue for a root canal. Can anyone recommend a good English speaking dentist? I live in Bundang but I don't mind traveling to a good dentist.
Also, does anyone know if National Health Insurance covers any of the cost? Or around what the cost is? I'm in the dark there and haven't been able to find any information. |

WY Dentistry near Hakdong Station in Gangnam. I don't know about the cost, but the guy is good and he is 100% fluent in English, as he is essentially American.
I don't know how much national insurance will cover in a root canal, but my last check up was 85,000 instead of 140,000 because of my health insurance. And for example, when getting fillings, national insurance covers amalgam fillings but doesn't cover the white composite fillings. |

| As best I can recall, they cover the actual root canal, but not the crown. I believe I paid about 6,000W for treatments, and 250,000 for the crown. |

| Is there anywhere else better to get a crown replaced than Seoul National University Dental clinic? |

It is really important to have the treatment without stopping,,,
If not,,it is possible to lose ur tooth,,,
And all cost for root canal tx. are covered by insurance,,but the cost for crown and core are not garanted ..
So the root canal cost may be below 30,000 won and the crown cost between 300,000 and 500,000
And u have to have the crown tx. in the clinic that u have the root canal treatment,,,because it is conveinent when u need the repair or re-endodontic treatment,,,
Well dental clinic is located in southern seoul,,,
