If you work in one of the office towers along Teheran-ro or live in the officetels around Yeoksam-dong, you do not need to cross the city to see an English-speaking dentist. Lucid Dental Clinic sits on the same road that runs through Yeoksam Station — Nonhyeon-ro — just a few blocks north, beside Exit 3 of Eonju Station on Line 9.
How far is Lucid Dental from Yeoksam Station?
The clinic is roughly 800 meters north of Yeoksam Station, which is about a 10–15 minute walk for most people. You stay on one road the whole way, so it is hard to get lost.
Yeoksam Station on Line 2 sits under the intersection where Teheran-ro meets Nonhyeon-ro. Lucid Dental is at 606 Nonhyeon-ro, on the third and fourth floors of the COWAY Building, directly in front of Eonju Station Exit 3.
What is the easiest walking route from Yeoksam?
Come up from Exit 7 of Yeoksam Station and walk north along Nonhyeon-ro, keeping the large CHA hospital complex on your route as a landmark.
- Exit 7, Yeoksam Station (Line 2). Exit 7 is the one signposted for CHA hospital. When you reach street level you are on Nonhyeon-ro.
- Head north (away from Teheran-ro). Walk straight along Nonhyeon-ro. You will pass the CHA Gangnam medical buildings around the 560s street numbers.
- Keep going to the Eonju Station exits. Road numbers rise as you go. Eonju Station exits appear on both sides near the Bongeunsa-ro junction.
- Look for Exit 3 and the COWAY Building. The clinic entrance is right in front of Exit 3. Take the elevator to the 3rd or 4th floor reception.
Expect a steady uphill stretch heading north. The ground around Eonju sits higher than Teheran-ro — the same reason Eonju's own platforms are built unusually deep underground. If you are recovering from treatment or carrying luggage, a bus or taxi is a kinder option on the way there; the return trip to Yeoksam is downhill.
Can I take a bus or taxi instead of walking?
Yes. City buses run up Nonhyeon-ro from the Yeoksam Exit 7 area, and a taxi ride is very short.
CHA Gangnam's own directions list routes 147, 463 and 4211 from Yeoksam Exit 7 along Nonhyeon-ro toward Eonju. Bus routes and stop names change from time to time, so check the live arrival board in Naver Map or KakaoMap before you ride. For a taxi, show the driver the Korean address: 서울 강남구 논현로 606, 언주역 3번 출구.

| Subway via Line 9 | Not practical — no direct Line 2 to Line 9 link here | Skip; walking is faster |
Can I see a dentist after work near Yeoksam?

A short visit such as a check-up or scaling can often fit into a long lunch if you book ahead, but the clinic itself pauses for lunch from 13:00 to 14:00 on weekdays. See our guide to late-night dentist hours in Gangnam for more on evening visits.
What treatments do Yeoksam office workers usually come in for?
Most visits from nearby offices are routine: check-ups, cleanings, fillings and cracked or sensitive teeth. Some patients also plan cosmetic work such as veneers or clear aligners.
- Cleanings: If you are enrolled in Korea's National Health Insurance, adult scaling is typically covered once per calendar year. Read more in scaling and teeth cleaning in Seoul and NHIS dental coverage for foreigners.
- Cavities: Resin fillings start from ₩60,000–150,000 per tooth as a non-covered reference fee. See cavity treatment.
- Night guards: Desk stress and clenching are common; a custom night guard is listed from ₩600,000.
- Veneers: LUCINATE porcelain veneers start from ₩1,190,000 per tooth (≈US$850 at roughly ₩1,400 per US$ — check today's rate).
All fees are reference "from" prices. Your final plan and quote are confirmed only after an exam, and individual results vary.
What if I have a dental emergency at the office?
Call or message the clinic on WhatsApp first so the team can tell you how soon you can be seen. For a broken tooth, lost crown or swelling, being a 10-minute walk away helps.
If your face is badly swollen, you have a fever, or you have trouble swallowing or breathing, go to a hospital emergency room instead. Our emergency dentist guide for Gangnam explains what counts as urgent.
Where else is the clinic convenient from?
Because the clinic is on Line 9 and Nonhyeon-ro, it is also easy to reach from neighboring stations. Colleagues coming from Gangnam Station can use our Gangnam Station directions, and anyone east of Yeoksam can check the route from Seolleung Station. Visitors from abroad should start with our international patients guide.
