A Seongnam Dentist for Hanam, Gwangju and Yongin Residents
Published by The Seoul Dental Clinic · Meet the dentists
Residents of Hanam, Gwangju and Yongin can reach our Taepyeong clinic in Seongnam by public transit or car. We do not state travel times here because they vary. What we can do is plan your treatment so you make as few trips as the work allows.
Why people travel across city borders
Many residents of the areas around Seongnam choose a dentist for reasons beyond distance: language, a clear price list, or a recommendation from a friend. If you are in this position, a bit of planning makes the trip worthwhile.
Our clinic is in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, by Taepyeong Station, Exit 5. Nearby stations include Moran, Sujin, Sinheung and Gachon Univ.
Getting here without exact numbers
We deliberately do not quote minutes or fares, since they depend on your starting point and the time of day. Your transit or navigation app will give a current estimate.
If you travel by subway, search for Taepyeong Station on the Suin-Bundang Line and use Exit 5. If you are coming via the Suin-Bundang Line, stations such as Moran and Bokjeong appear on both lines, which can help with changing.
How we help you minimize trips
Start with a message
Describe your concern and any X-rays you already have. We can often tell you what to expect before you travel.
Book one longer consultation
The English consultation is published as free, and your dentist can examine you and outline a plan in one visit.
Plan the sequence
For treatments with several stages, we discuss which steps can be grouped and which need healing time in between.
Schedule follow-ups sensibly
Some checks can be spaced out, and we explain which ones matter most.
Treatments and how visits tend to be structured
These patterns are general. Your own plan depends on examination.
| Treatment | Typical visit pattern |
|---|---|
| Check-up and scaling | Usually a single visit; additional (non-covered) scaling is ₩50,000, and insurance-covered scaling follows national rules |
| Implants | Several stages with healing between; your dentist sets the schedule |
| Aligners | Initial planning, then periodic checks |
| Crowns | More than one visit is commonly needed |
Price list as published; confirm at consultation.
Planning around work and family
Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday 09:30–20:30, Thursday 09:30–19:00, Friday 09:30–18:30 and Saturday 09:30–13:00, with no lunch break; the clinic is closed on Sundays and open on public holidays. If you are bringing children, mention it when you book, since our list includes kids' care such as fluoride and filling of baby teeth.
If the journey is long, avoid scheduling an appointment right before something important. Some treatments can leave you tired or numb for a few hours.
Questions before you commit
We encourage you to ask questions by message first. That is a low-cost way to check whether a long trip is worth it, and we will tell you honestly if something could be done closer to home.
You are also welcome to get a second opinion elsewhere. We would rather you feel confident in the plan.
Practical tips for longer journeys
A bit of preparation means the journey feels worthwhile. If anything changes on the day, tell us and we will do what we can to adjust.
- Keep the clinic phone number handy and call if you are running late.
- Eat before an appointment unless we advise otherwise, particularly if you travel far.
- Bring previous X-rays or records, so no visit is wasted repeating information.
- If you will be numb afterward, consider a ride home or time to rest before the return trip.
