Seolleung is one of Gangnam's busiest interchanges, with Line 2 and the Suin-Bundang Line meeting under Teheran-ro and the royal tombs park just to the north. If you live, work or are staying near Seolleung, Lucid Dental Clinic is close — but the fastest route is not obvious from a subway map, so here is exactly how to do it.
What is the quickest way from Seolleung Station to Lucid Dental?
Take the Suin-Bundang Line one stop north to Seonjeongneung, transfer to Line 9, and ride one stop west to Eonju. The clinic is in front of Eonju Exit 3.
- Board the Suin-Bundang Line (yellow) at Seolleung heading toward Wangsimni/Cheongnyangni. Ride one stop to Seonjeongneung.
- Follow the Line 9 (gold) transfer signs. Allow a few minutes: the transfer involves several escalators.
- Take a Line 9 train toward Gaehwa / Gimpo Airport — but check that it is a local (일반) train, not an express (급행).
- Get off at Eonju, the very next local stop, and follow signs to Exit 3.
- Enter the COWAY Building at 606 Nonhyeon-ro and go up to the 3rd or 4th floor.
Why does it matter whether the Line 9 train is local or express?
Express trains do not stop at Eonju. If you board an express at Seonjeongneung heading west, the next stop is Sinnonhyeon, and you will need to double back.
Line 9 runs both services on the same tracks. Seonjeongneung, Sinnonhyeon and Bongeunsa are express stops, while Eonju is served only by local trains. The platform screens and the train's front display show 일반 (local) or 급행 (express), usually in English as well. If an express pulls in first, simply wait for the next local.
One more tip: Eonju's platforms are unusually deep, about five levels below the street, because the ground around the station is higher. Give yourself two or three extra minutes to ride the escalators or elevator up to Exit 3.
How do the travel options from Seolleung compare?
The subway transfer is usually the most predictable choice; a taxi is quickest when traffic is light.

Is the clinic practical for treatments that need several visits?
Yes. Being two stops away matters most for treatments with repeat appointments, such as braces or aligner check-ins, implant stages, and root canals.
- Clear aligners and braces: Adjustment and progress visits are regular and short. Invisalign is listed from ₩10,000,000 and Clippy-C ceramic braces from ₩3,490,000 as reference fees. See Invisalign in Seoul for foreigners.
- Implants: Placement, healing checks and the final crown happen over several months. A single implant (fixture, custom abutment and zirconia crown) typically comes to about ₩1,190,000–1,490,000 before any bone grafting. Read more on dental implants in Seoul.
- Wisdom teeth: Extraction plus a follow-up check a week or so later. See wisdom tooth extraction in Seoul.
These are reference "from" prices only. A consultation and exam are required, and individual results vary.

Is there anything nice to do near Seolleung after an appointment?
The Seolleung and Jeongneung royal tombs park is a quiet green space near Seolleung Station, and a gentle place to walk after a check-up.
The tombs belong to the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, a group of 40 tombs inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009. Keep any walk short and easy after surgery such as an extraction or implant placement, and follow the aftercare instructions you are given. If you are also visiting COEX, see our route from COEX and Samseong.
What if I get off at the wrong stop?
It happens often at Seonjeongneung, and it is easy to fix. If an express carries you on to Sinnonhyeon, cross to the opposite platform and take a local train one stop back toward VHS Medical Center; Eonju is the next station.
If you are running late, send a quick WhatsApp message so the team can adjust your slot rather than hold the chair empty.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring your passport or Alien Registration Card, a list of any medicines you take, and any recent dental X-rays or records you have.
If you are enrolled in Korea's National Health Insurance, covered care such as annual scaling is typically billed through insurance; cosmetic treatments are not. Our first visit guide walks through check-in, and travelers from overseas should read the international patients page.
