Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have a toothache at night?
Take ibuprofen for pain relief, use a cold compress, and visit us first thing when we open. If it's extremely severe, Seoul has 24-hour emergency dental clinics, but they tend to be more expensive.
How much does toothache treatment cost?
Simple filling: ₩80,000–200,000. Root canal: ₩200,000–400,000. Prices are much more affordable than in most Western countries.
I'm leaving Seoul tomorrow — can you help today?
Yes! We can provide emergency treatment same-day. For complex issues, we'll stabilize the situation and provide documentation for follow-up treatment at home.
