Can anybody suggest a good English speaking dentists in the Seoul area?

Will it be possible to get 2nd or 3rd opinions here? or Should I just stick to one guy?

I know some dentists don't use latex gloves when they work, I'd like to avoid that situation.

I've been to some excellent dentists here. Fast, efficient and highly competent. Cute nurses too! The last dentist I went to spoke English well enough to explain what was going on. That was in Sangbong.
Have a look in the English language newspapers. They sometimes have adverts for dentists in Seoul.

can you give me a name or address to work with? If he speaks english, I really want to check him out. I'm not going in for a checkup.

I honestly can't remember the exact name of the dentist. I think it's Yonsei dentist. I could tell you where it is, if you knew Sangbong.

is sangbong in the seoul area? on the subway?

How was the price of the whole thing?

[cj1976]

Sangbong is line 7 on the Seoul subway. I had a root canal and a crown fitted. Most of the dental surgery is covered by insurance, but you need to pay a small fee towards the medicine and materials used in the procedure. I think that came to around 40k. The crown itself is not covered by insurance, so I had to pay 350k for that.

I don't know how up to date this is, but it might help. Good luck with that. Toothache is the only pain worse than a kick in the nads.

I had a friend that went to the dentist in the link. The dentist got her training in the US and speaks English well. I'm planning on checking it out myself when I have time. The website is well designed and has all the information you'd need.

I've been more than happy with my dentist, or at least as happy as anyone can be getting his wisdom teeth yanked out and cavities filled. Cheap and professional, I think you'll be fine just about anywhere, and most dentists know at least enough English to let you know what is happening.

the dentist i went to was pretty good. all of my coworkers were satisfied with it too.

the dentist was educated in the US, i think his daughter went to cornell or something. anyways, he speaks english well and the place is clean and professional.

the dentist is near Coex Mall and Posco Intersection . let me know if you're interested and i'll try to hook it up with discount

I go to Seoul dental hospital on the 11th floor of an office tower opposite the CGV in Gangnam. The dentist's name is Park Jung ju. Not foreign educated but well renown and has a great touch. The number is 02-3482-7528.
