Earlier I wrote about my experience of removing a wisdom tooth. This article continues the story of my treatment. Since my lower wisdom teeth grew sideways, they changed the position of the neighboring teeth and because of this, a crisis arose. I was in need of a root canal. This time, I talk about problems that you may face while looking for a clinic, and then recommend a good place that foreigners can go to.
Problems That I Faced
While looking for a clinic, I had several problems. Firstly, not all clinics could provide me with the cost of services in advance. I visited some of them personally, and some I contacted on SNS. But in each case, they told me that they could not even give an approximate price, because an initial consultation and an X-ray were needed. On the one hand, this may make sense, but still, in my opinion, the lack of an opportunity to provide in advance the cost of services was a little suspicious. In such a situation, it is difficult to get the right idea about the clinic and make a decision to continue treatment in it.
Secondly, it is important to check the list of services provided in each clinic, as well as the availability of relevant specialists. I went to the clinic with my friend and thought that they could provide me with treatment, too. But after they took an x-ray, they said that they did not have an orthodontist, which is necessary in my case, so they could not help me. It turns out that I paid for the reception and x-ray in vain.
S Plant Dental Hospital
After reading the reviews, I found a clinic in Seoul that suited me in terms of service and prices. Since the first social media post with a representative, I have only had positive experiences at this clinic. I was immediately told what the cost of the services would be, what services were covered by insurance, as well as the work schedule of the orthodontist. You can sign up online by writing to one of the official accounts on social networks.
According to the x-ray results, I had to do not only tooth filling but also root canal treatment. In this clinic, I was attracted not only by the low price but also by the fact that they have a fixed price for root canal treatment, regardless of the number of visits. Although in most clinics that I contacted, I was said I would have to pay depending on the number of visits.
In addition to prices, I would like to highlight the advantage of the clinic in that it also has a service in a foreign language, which can be very important for those who do not speak Korean. Support is available in the following languages: English, Chinese, and Russian. There is no additional charge for this service.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I want to say that try to make sure that all the necessary treatment, especially related to the teeth, is carried out in my home country since dental services are expensive in Korea (without insurance). But, if you need dental treatment, then S Plant Dental Hospital in Seoul is a good clinic that I can recommend. Among the key advantages are low prices, friendly staff, and support in three foreign languages.
