I have a front tooth (so quite visible) needing a filling. Since it would be visible I'm thinking that a white filling may be better (from a cosmetic point of view).

THe dentist quoted me 150,000 won for the job. Does that seem right. The filling will be quite small.

It depends on the type of white filling.

There are about 4 dif kinds - generally the harder (longer lasting) ones cost more - In that price range i'm guessing your getting a mid level strength one.........

Seems right to me. I just went to the dentist yesterday and had a root canal started. The 2 xrays were 150$ and the first part of the root canal was 100$. Only 4 more visits to go!
I went to Columbia Dental and saw Dr. Kim. Nice lady, perfect English.

My dentist in Apgujeong quoted me the same price; that seems pretty standard.

Definitely standard I would say. I saw a kid with a mouthful of silver fillings the other day......poor kid.Looked atrocious.

I had all my old hardware metal fillings replaced while in Korea. I was offered the gold fillings or the cheap standard white fillings. I think it cost me about 10,000 won per filling.
