So, I have a cavity and should see a dentist about it. It doesn't hurt or anything so I'm not in much of a hurry. Especially after the horror story I heard today from my co-worker.
Anyway, can anyone suggest a good dentist, preferrably around the Hyehwa area? I should get this taken care of, but after hearing my co-worker's story about her fiancee's experience at the dentist in Apgujeong, I'm tempted to just let the tooth rot out.
Thanks. |

From a previous thread. Perhaps this is useful:
| Quote: |
I've been having some complicated work done on a tooth over the past 6 weeks, and I am very pleased with the quality of dental care here. The office looks/feels very much like a dental office in the US. In fact, I can't point out any significant differences. I guess it largely depends on where you go.
I've had a total of 8 appointments and have paid W41,000 total.
When I was home in the US last week, I had a dentist there check everything out, just to make sure it was okay, and both dentists in the office said the work looks great. My one appointment in the US cost $49, and they didn't actually do anything but look at it.
If you're in the Anyang/Gunpo area (just south of Seoul on the blue line), I highly recommend Kim and Lee Seoul Dental Clinic in TodayMall. PM me if you need directions.
Unlike other posters have said, the dentist and dental assistants have worn gloves every time I've been there. |

much cheaper, had a root canal started fri, cost me 6800 won and 1500 for some pain killers afterwards
crowns will run 250-500k or about 1/3rd the price in the states. I should know my cousin is an office manager for a dentist in the states and we always compare prices |

This is who I went to. Excellent excellent work. I had to get a root canal, but it was still the most pleasant experience at the dentist I've ever had.
Thanks for the advice. |
