A Dentist Open Late in the Evening in Gangnam

Lucid Dental Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul is open until 20:30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, so you can see a dentist after work without taking time off. It is in front of Eonju Station Exit 3 on Line 9, a short walk from Yeoksam, and English consultations are available. Book ahead on WhatsApp.

Which evenings is Lucid Dental Clinic open late?

Lucid Dental Clinic stays open until 20:30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays and Fridays it closes at 18:00, and on Saturdays it is open 10:00–16:00.

For people who work in Gangnam's offices, that means you can leave work at 18:00 or 19:00 and still get to a dental chair without taking time off. The table shows the latest closing time for each day.

There is a 13:00–14:00 lunch break on weekdays, but no break in the evening. The clinic is closed on Sundays and over the Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays.

What is the latest appointment I can book?

Closing time is 20:30, so the latest slot depends on what you need. A short check or a review visit can be later than a first exam with X-rays or a filling. Tell us what you need when you message, and we will offer a start time that leaves enough room to finish properly rather than rushing.

If you have a larger treatment planned, such as a crown preparation or an implant step, an earlier evening start or a Saturday appointment may suit you better.

What kinds of treatment work well in an evening slot?

• Check-ups and consultations. Get an exam and a clear plan in English after work; see our dental exam page.
• Scaling. A thorough cleaning fits comfortably into an evening; more on teeth cleaning in Seoul.
• Fillings and inlays. Resin fillings start from ₩60,000–150,000 (≈US$43–107) and inlays from ₩300,000 (≈US$214) when not covered.
• Whitening and cosmetic consultations. Plan veneers or tooth whitening without missing a work meeting.
• Night guard fittings. If you clench under work stress, a custom night guard starts from ₩600,000 (≈US$429). See night guards for bruxism.

USD figures are approximate at roughly ₩1,400 per US$; check today's rate. Fees are reference "from" prices confirmed at consultation, and individual results vary.

How do I get there after work?

The clinic is in the COWAY Building at 606 Nonhyeon-ro, directly in front of Exit 3 of Eonju Station on Line 9. How you get there depends on where your office is.

1. From the Gangnam Station area: take the Shinbundang Line one stop north to Sinnonhyeon, then Line 9 one stop east to Eonju. Or walk about 20 minutes north-east.
2. From the Yeoksam Station area: the clinic is roughly a 10–15 minute walk north, which is often quicker than taking the subway at rush hour.
3. From anywhere on Line 9: ride to Eonju. Only local trains stop there; express trains stop at Sinnonhyeon and Seonjeongneung, the stations either side, where you can switch to a local train.
4. By taxi: show the driver the address 서울 강남구 논현로 606 (606 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu). Evening traffic in Gangnam can be slow, so allow extra time.

Our Gangnam Station page has step-by-step walking directions.

Is an evening appointment different from a daytime one?

No. The same dentist-led care, English consultation and clinical standards apply in the evening as during the day. The main difference is time: because the clinic closes at 20:30, very long procedures are usually easier to schedule earlier in the day or on a Saturday.

After evening treatment, check the aftercare advice before eating dinner, especially if you have had a local anesthetic. Numbness can last a while, so it is safer to wait until feeling returns before chewing, to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.

Should I use an evening slot for my yearly NHIS cleaning?

It is a practical choice. If you are enrolled in Korea's National Health Insurance and are 19 or older, NHIS typically covers one scaling each calendar year, from January 1 to December 31. A cleaning you do not use by December 31 does not roll over.

Many office workers leave it until the last weeks of the year, when evening slots get busier. Booking your cleaning on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening earlier in the year avoids that rush and lets the dentist spot small problems, such as early cavities or gum inflammation, while they are usually simpler to treat. NHIS lists the outpatient copay at clinic-level providers as 30% of the covered cost. Bring your Residence Card so the clinic can confirm your eligibility, and read our guide to NHIS scaling for the details.

Tips for a smooth after-work visit

• Book on WhatsApp a few days ahead; Tuesday to Thursday evenings are popular with office workers.
• Send a message if you are running late on the subway so the team can adjust.
• Bring your Residence Card if you are enrolled in NHIS, or a passport if you are visiting.
• Brush before you come if you can; it makes cleanings and exams more comfortable.
• If you need several visits, ask to book them all on late evenings to keep your workdays clear.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lucid Dental Clinic open late on Fridays?

No. On Fridays the clinic closes at 18:00. The late evenings are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, until 20:30.

Can I get emergency treatment in the evening?

If you have a toothache or a broken tooth on a Tuesday to Thursday, message on WhatsApp and ask for the earliest evening slot. For spreading swelling, trouble breathing or uncontrolled bleeding, call 119 or go to a hospital emergency room.

Do evening appointments cost more?

The clinic's non-covered reference fees are the same listed fees whatever the time. For NHIS-covered care, ask at the desk if you want to know how your copay is calculated.

Can I start veneers or implants with evening appointments?

Consultations and many shorter steps can be done in the evening. Longer steps may be booked earlier in the day or on a Saturday so there is enough time. The dentist will plan the visits with you.

Is there parking for evening visits?

Ask the team on WhatsApp about parking before you drive. Because the clinic is directly at Eonju Station Exit 3, the subway is often the simplest option.
