Hello all!

Would any of you happen to have a listing of English speaking cosmetic dentists in the Seoul area?

Price doesn't matter but English ability is an absolute must! Any personal experiences you want to share about particular practices are always welcome!

Thanks! Very Happy

Hus-Hu clinic in Apgujeong has English speaking dentists and dermatologists and they have an English-speaking receptionist. Amazing office, I love them and I've had great experiences there.

I only had a cleaning done there and I had a good experience, as good as back home and I felt like they knew what they were doing. Haven't had anything more complicated done there yet but I'm probably going to have whitening done there so I'll post my experience when I get the process started.

I like it but maybe it depends on who works on you - if you didn't have a good experience, it's probably worthwhile to find a new place. I find dental clinics kind of a dime-a-dozen in Seoul so I'm sure you could find a new place easily. I'll likely keep going there because it's the same office as my derm. so it's just convenient for me.

I assume so - when I went for my cleaning, they noted that I had bondings and cleaned them accordingly. From what I saw, they do pretty much everything, teeth related.

Feel free to give them a call if you have questions - the English speaking receptionist is great and seems to run the whole place so she'll likely be able to help you if you want to know about procedures or pricing.

i'd be interested in hearing about how your whitening goes, since i'm thinking about having that done in the near future myself.

in terms of my own experience, i will say that i found the dentist knowledgeable, if expensive. the woman who cleaned my teeth, on the other hand, had rough hands (my teeth hurt for two days after the cleaning) and was a bit rude. i won't go into too much detail, but overall, it wasn't a horrible experience - just one that might lead me to go elsewhere next time.
