Key takeaways
If you are a foreign patient planning a visit in Hwagok-dong, expect language support to vary from clinic to clinic: the public data used in this article does not state which languages, if any, the staff at these clinics speak, so confirm it by phone or on the clinic's own booking page before you go. Booking is listed as an available service at all five clinics, but the booking method is not specified, so a phone call is the safest route. Bring photo ID (passport or alien registration card), your insurance or payment card, and a list of any medications plus previous dental records if you have them.
If you are looking for a clinic for root canal treatment (신경치료) in Hwagok-dong, the first entry in the supplied clinic data, 이백점치과의원 (Ibaekjeom Dental Clinic), is a reasonable place to start. It has 436 Naver reviews and 350 Kakao reviews, and its Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) registration lists one specialist in integrative dentistry. However, no data on actual root canal case volume or treatment outcomes was provided, so it is not possible to state that one clinic is better at root canal treatment than another. The order below follows the request and introduces Ibaekjeom Dental Clinic first; ratings are shown only where a value was confirmed for that platform.
Among the selected clinics, the average Kakao Map rating is 3.9. If you are considering root canal treatment, check not only reviews but also how the diagnosis is explained, the treatment plan and expected number of visits, the cost, and whether booking and parking are available.
How the comparison was built
The five clinics were compiled from the Naver Place visitor reviews (1,195) and Kakao Map reviews (1,789) recorded in the collected data summary, together with Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration information. Each clinic's total review count adds together the Naver, Kakao and Google review numbers provided; blog reviews were excluded from the visitor review totals. Naver ratings were not included in the per-clinic materials and are therefore marked “not provided”. Google review counts were supplied as 0 for every clinic, and a rating is shown only where one was listed separately. Some of the actual visitor reviews supplied were quoted, and those quotations appear below.
이백점치과의원 (Ibaekjeom Dental Clinic)
Introduced first, as requested. It has 436 Naver reviews and 350 Kakao reviews, a total of 786; the Kakao rating is 3 and the Google rating is 2. No Naver rating was provided. The HIRA registration lists one specialist in integrative dentistry and one cone-beam CT unit. The listed treatment specialties include conservative dentistry (치과보존과), but the supplied materials do not separately state whether the clinic performs root canal treatment or provide related case volume or outcomes.
“The director is so kind and thorough and treats you without pain. The other teachers are really kind too.” (jjy****, October 9, 2026)
“They only recommend the treatment you actually need and they look very carefully and in detail.” (초롱62, October 8, 2026)
The address is 서울 양천구 남부순환로 352 3층, listed as the 3rd floor of the Sinwol Intersection Medical Building. Line 5 Hwagok Station Exit 6 can be used, and parking is included in the supplied information. The stated hours are Monday and Thursday until 20:00, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday until 18:00, and Saturday 09:30–13:30. Sunday hours and the lunch break are not in the materials. A booking and waiting area is available, so call (0507-1373-2003) before visiting to confirm whether an appointment is possible and when a root canal consultation can be scheduled. It is practical to ask, at that consultation, whether root canal treatment is actually needed, whether it falls within the scope of the conservative dentistry speciality, and what the treatment stages and expected costs would be.
연세숙면치과의원 강서구화곡 (Yonsei Sukmyeon Dental Clinic, Gangseo-gu Hwagok)
It has 282 Naver reviews and 1,148 Kakao reviews, a total of 1,430. The supplied materials list a Google rating of 4.4, but the Google review count is 0, and no Kakao or Naver rating was confirmed. The HIRA registration lists treatment specialties including conservative dentistry and one cone-beam CT unit. The number of specialists was not provided. The mere fact that conservative dentistry is listed does not allow you to judge the specific method or outcomes of root canal treatment.
“They examine you thoroughly.” (불친절한소년, September 14, 2026)
“They looked carefully with a camera at the uncomfortable parts of my teeth and gums, so I am having sleep treatment without any worry.” (kim****, August 31, 2026)
The address is 서울 강서구 화곡로 157 Roi빌딩 3층, listed as 69 m from Line 5 Hwagok Station Exit 7. The hours are Monday and Thursday until 20:00, Tuesday and Friday until 19:00, and Saturday 09:00–14:00. Wednesday and Sunday hours and the lunch break are not in the supplied materials. Booking, parking, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities. The phone number is 02-2693-2275; check before visiting whether a root canal appointment is available and what the parking conditions are. Reviews mention thorough examinations and explanations and experience of sleep treatment, but no specific feedback on root canal treatment was provided. Before treatment, it is worth confirming the basis for the diagnosis and the treatment plan.
연세왕치과의원 (Yonsei Wang Dental Clinic)
It has 354 Naver reviews and 289 Kakao reviews, a total of 643. The Kakao and Google ratings are each listed as 5, and no Naver rating was provided. The Google review count is 0. No HIRA specialist information was provided, and there is no treatment specialty information either. It is therefore not possible to confirm from these materials alone whether there is a specialist in root canal treatment or conservative dentistry. The reviews describe experiences with crowns, routine check-ups and scaling, but the quotations provided do not directly describe a root canal experience.
“I am receiving crown treatment and regular care. They are very kind and thorough, so I am very grateful.” (지켈과그레켈, October 17, 2026)
“I felt they were kind from the consultation, and throughout the treatment they explained the process in detail, which was good.” (최고8112, October 6, 2026)
The address is 서울 강서구 곰달래로 167 2층 202호, listed as 507 m from Kkachisan Station (Lines 5 and 2) Exit 2. The hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until 18:30, Tuesday until 20:30, and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Sunday hours and the lunch break are not in the materials. Booking, a waiting area, parking, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are included in the supplied information. The phone number is 0507-1415-2082. When asking about root canal treatment, confirm the treating clinician's scope of practice, the examinations and treatment plan, and the interval between appointments. The fact that reviews mention explanations and thoroughness is background information only and does not guarantee an individual treatment result.
연세플라워치과의원 (Yonsei Flower Dental Clinic)
It has 47 Naver reviews and 2 Kakao reviews, a total of 49. The Kakao rating is 3.8 and the Google rating is 5, with a Google review count of 0. No Naver rating was provided. No HIRA specialist count or treatment specialty information was provided, so the scope of root canal care and whether a specialist is present cannot be confirmed. The supplied reviews describe fillings, tooth extractions and scaling, but no review directly mentioning root canal treatment was identified.
“Every treatment hurt so much that I put off coming to the dentist as long as I could, but this was the first time I actually dozed off during a filling.” (련킴, October 2, 2026)
“I chose it because the reviews were good, and they were kind and told me only about the parts that needed treatment.” (당산동마실러4197, September 8, 2026)
The address is 서울 강서구 강서로 52 화곡판타지아, listed as 20 m from Kkachisan Station Exit 1. The hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday until 18:30, Thursday until 20:30, and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Sunday hours and the lunch break are not in the supplied materials. Booking and parking are listed as amenities, and the phone number is 02-2607-7528. If you want a root canal consultation, check when booking whether that treatment is available and whether there is enough time for an examination and consultation. The reviews mention explanations and kindness, but they are not material for judging pain or prognosis in root canal treatment. The specific treatment method should be discussed with the clinician after your teeth have been examined.
서울윤치과의원 강서화곡본점 (Seoul Yun Dental Clinic, Gangseo Hwagok Main Branch)
It has 76 Naver reviews and 0 Kakao reviews, a total of 76. The supplied materials list a Google rating of 5 with a Google review count of 0. No Naver or Kakao rating was provided. The HIRA specialist count and treatment specialty information could not be confirmed. The reviews mention fillings, orthodontics and paediatric care, but no separate information on root canal treatment was provided, so it cannot be stated that this is a clinic that is good at root canal treatment.
“After booking a filling, I went straight in with no waiting time, and both the doctor and the dental hygienist were kind and explained things thoroughly, which was good.” (반항감자, October 16, 2026)
“I visited for my child's check-up and had fluoride applied as well. They were kind and my child was comfortable during treatment.” (꽃길6528, October 16, 2026)
In the address field of the supplied materials only the clinic name is given, so the detailed address cannot be confirmed. It is listed as 117 m from Line 5 Hwagok Station Exit 6, and the phone number is 0507-1461-1515. The hours are Monday and Wednesday until 19:00, Tuesday and Friday until 20:00, and Saturday 09:00–14:00. Any days not covered by those hours, and the lunch break, are not confirmed in the supplied materials. Booking, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities. Before visiting, confirm the address, whether root canal treatment is available, and the parking conditions by phone. The reviews show satisfaction with how fillings were explained, but when you consult about root canal treatment it is better to ask separately about the diagnosis, the treatment stages and the cost.

Checklist for choosing a clinic for root canal treatment
- Basis for the diagnosis — check whether they explain in specific terms why root canal treatment is needed and what the examination results show.
- Treatment plan — ask about the stages of treatment, the expected number of visits and the follow-up plan.
- Scope of care — confirm before booking whether that clinic can provide a root canal consultation and treatment.
- Treating clinician — check who will be treating you and whether the clinic's own information matches the publicly available Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service records.
- Cost information — ask in advance about the costs that can arise at each stage, including examinations, treatment and any restoration.
- Pain management — check how to tell the clinician about anaesthesia and any discomfort during treatment.
- Appointment intervals — confirm the treatment schedule, the times you can attend, and whether evening or Saturday hours are available.
- Location and parking — check the exit and walking distance, whether parking is available and the conditions for using it.
- Explanations and question time — ask questions until you understand the treatment options and precautions; if you need an English-speaking dentist, confirm language support before booking.
Warning signs
- If the diagnosis or the reason for treatment is not explained, you can ask again which examination results the recommendation is based on.
- If the treatment and the cost are not explained adequately, confirm the staged plan and the expected cost before starting.
- If questions are blocked or the treatment options are not explained, ask for an explanation and, if necessary, consider seeking another clinician's opinion.
- If anyone claims that review ratings guarantee a treatment result, bear in mind that reviews and an individual diagnosis and outcome can differ.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start when choosing a clinic for root canal treatment in Hwagok-dong?
This article introduces 이백점치과의원 (Ibaekjeom Dental Clinic) first, as requested. However, the supplied data contains no information for comparing root canal case volume or outcomes, so check location, opening hours and reviews, and then confirm directly whether root canal treatment is available and how the diagnosis is explained.
Is Ibaekjeom Dental Clinic good at root canal treatment?
The supplied data alone cannot establish skill or outcomes in root canal treatment. The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service information lists one specialist in integrative dentistry and lists conservative dentistry among the treatment specialties, but no root canal case data was provided separately.
How should I compare clinics that have no Naver rating?
Per-clinic Naver ratings were not in the collected data and are marked as not provided. Refer to the review counts provided, ratings confirmed on other platforms, and the addresses and opening hours — but do not judge the quality of treatment on review counts alone.
Do the reviews show root canal treatment experience?
The quotations provided cover a range of experiences, including kindness, explanations, fillings, extractions and scaling. No review directly mentioning root canal treatment was identified in the supplied materials, so they cannot be read as root canal treatment feedback.
Can I get evening or Saturday appointments?
Evening weekday hours and Saturday hours differ by clinic. 이백점치과의원 is listed as open until 20:00 on Monday and Thursday, 연세숙면치과의원 until 20:00 on Monday and Thursday, 연세왕치과의원 until 20:30 on Tuesday, 연세플라워치과의원 until 20:30 on Thursday, and 서울윤치과의원 until 20:00 on Tuesday and Friday. Confirm that the clinic is operating before you visit.
Is there an English-speaking dentist in Hwagok-dong, and how do I book as a foreigner?
The data this article is based on does not state which languages the staff at any of the five clinics speak, so it cannot confirm an English-speaking clinic in Hwagok-dong — treat any claim of language support as something to verify yourself. Booking is listed as an amenity at all five clinics, but the booking method is not specified, so call the number given for the clinic you are considering (for example 0507-1373-2003 for 이백점치과의원) and ask directly whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be available at your appointment. At the same time, ask whether interpretation, a written treatment plan and a cost estimate can be provided in English, and re-confirm the opening hours, because lunch breaks are not listed in the data.
Final notes
When you are looking for a clinic for root canal treatment in Hwagok-dong, this article presents 이백점치과의원 (Ibaekjeom Dental Clinic) first in the order requested, and compares five clinics' reviews, ratings, locations and opening hours within the limits of what could be confirmed. However, no specific data on root canal case volume or outcomes was provided. Use the reviews and public information as background, and decide on the actual diagnosis and treatment plan in consultation with a dental professional. This article summarises the supplied materials and is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment.
