One of my colleagues husband is an English speaking dentist over in Yeongdeungpo, west Seoul. I don't know how good his English is though.
I can find some more details if you like. |

| Columbia Dental in Itaewon is pretty good. I had some light work done there, and my friend had a root canal. It takes more visits than back home (something that takes 2 or 3 visits in the west takes 5 or 6 here), but the work is good and they speak really good English. I also love the towel that they put over your face with a hole cut out for your nose and mouth. Now I don't have to look at the tools! |

| Yep, Dirtywon is probably the best place to find an English speaking dentist. |

| I've ben going to Hu's Hu in Apgujeong. Nice facility and equipment, and my dentist has been very good. They have English-speaking staff who are very accommodating and keep you informed. |

The place I went to was really clean. The head dentist has a practice in NYC as well.
Also, you really think that the rest of Korea is clean compared to Itaewon? 
I've never had recycled side dishes in Itaewon. Elsewhere, well... I've passed on the banchan in many places after seeing an ajumma scrape it back into the container with the "fresh" stuff.  |

I went to Tuff's Dental in Gangnam for a clean up. The dentist lived in the US for a long time, including all her schooling. Speaks perfect English.
I only had a cleaning and check up done, so can't really comment on any major procedures, but it seems pretty good. |

Easy now love, I wasn't dissing the 'Won. I just like to use the term in an affectionate way.  |

| I am withdrawing my recommendation of Hu's Hu. I'm happy with the work by the dentist but the final bill significantly exceeded the quote I was given. |

Boston Classic on the 8th floor of the new Lotte Department Store in Cheongryangri (Cheongryangri subway and train stations).
The dentist speaks English well and regularly attends seminars overseas. He explains everything clearly and doesn't overcharge. One of my co-workers, and a couple of friends also go to him. All of us are extremely happy with his work. |

I have conversation classes with a dentist in Yeonshinnae. If that is more convenient for anyone reading this PM me and I'll get you contact information / directions.
Cheers. |

A co-worker and I have both had good experiences (for a dentist, of course) here:
