Why choose a clinic near Gangnam Station rather than right on top of it?

For multi-visit treatments such as porcelain veneers or implants, you will make the trip more than once, so an easy, repeatable route matters.

Tips for first-timers around Gangnam Station
- Use a Korean map app. Naver Map and KakaoMap usually give more detailed walking and transit directions in Korea than international apps. Search 루시드치과의원 or the address.
- Allow time for the transfer. Changing lines at Sinnonhyeon involves some walking between platforms, so add a few minutes at busy times.
- Avoid the peak rush if you can. Morning and evening commuting hours are the most crowded on Line 2 and Line 9.
- Message us if you are lost. Send a screenshot of where you are on WhatsApp and the team can guide you.
- After treatment, consider a taxi back to your hotel if you have had a numbing injection or an extraction and feel tired.
