Leading treatments
Veneers (laminates)
Veneers, called laminates in Korea, are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of the teeth. The clinic's own line is called LUCINATE. The clinic says it uses lithium disilicate ceramic blocks, designed from an intraoral scan, milled in-house on two CEREC CAD/CAM units and finished in its in-house lab, with no or minimal tooth reduction (enamel trimmed by about 0.01–0.2 mm where needed). It offers three grades. LUCINATE Classic takes about 7–10 days to make and has 3 years of aftercare. LUCINATE Premier is made in one day by the clinic's senior dentist, who is not named, with 5 years of aftercare. THE LUCINATE is made in one day to a design by the chief dentist, Dr. Park, with 10 years of aftercare. The fee table lists them at ₩1,190,000, ₩1,390,000 and ₩1,990,000 per tooth. The aftercare periods are the clinic's own, and what they cover is not published, so ask in writing.
The clinic says veneers are subject to VAT and that you should check the written estimate to see whether VAT is included. Its Kakao Map notice of 21 October 2026 says LUCINATE prices rise in November 2026, so confirm the price before you book. For planning, the clinic gives about 1–2 weeks for porcelain veneers, or 1–2 days for One-Day LUCINATE in suitable cases.
Dental implants
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a post (fixture) placed in the jawbone and a crown on top. The clinic quotes a complete implant per tooth: the fixture, a custom abutment (₩100,000) and a zirconia crown (₩500,000). The total is ₩1,190,000 with a MegaGen AnyOne fixture (fixture ₩590,000), ₩1,290,000 with an Osstem BA fixture (₩690,000) and ₩1,490,000 with an Osstem SOI fixture (₩890,000). Extraction, bone graft and sinus lift are extra.
The clinic says a bone graft or sinus lift is added only if the CT shows it is needed, that implants are placed under sleep (conscious) sedation or local anesthesia, that One-Day and plasma-activated implants are available for suitable cases, and that visitors usually need two trips months apart. HIRA's non-insured fee data, which has no date, lists an implant with a zirconia crown at ₩950,000. The clinic's table of 22 October 2026 is newer and higher, so ask which price applies to you.
Orthodontics
The clinic offers front-teeth (anterior) alignment, Clippy-C ceramic self-ligating braces, lingual braces and Invisalign clear aligners, and what it calls LUCINATE Orthodontics, which combines alignment with veneers for minor cases. The fee table lists anterior alignment at ₩1,290,000 per arch (about 6–8 months, retainer extra), Clippy-C braces at ₩3,490,000, lingual braces at ₩5,280,000 and Invisalign at ₩10,000,000, with a retainer at ₩300,000 per arch. The braces and aligner rows are appliance fees for the full treatment, so ask whether adjustment visits cost extra. The clinic names an orthodontist, Dr. Lee Jong, but HIRA lists no orthodontics specialist at this clinic (see Doctors).
Teeth whitening
In-office whitening lightens the color of the teeth with an agent applied at the clinic. The clinic says it is often done before veneer shades are matched, and plans whitening as one day. It names no product and publishes no price: it quotes whitening after a short exam, and it says whitening is subject to VAT.
Dental crowns
A crown is a cap that covers a damaged or root-canal-treated tooth. The clinic offers zirconia and all-ceramic crowns, which it says are milled chairside on its CEREC units. Its table prices a zirconia crown on an implant at ₩500,000 and quotes natural-tooth crowns only after an exam. HIRA's non-insured fee data lists natural-tooth zirconia and all-ceramic crowns at ₩950,000 each, with no date and VAT not stated. Confirm the price in writing.
Scaling
Scaling removes tartar from the teeth. HIRA's non-insured fee data lists full-mouth scaling at ₩59,000, VAT not stated. The clinic says National Health Insurance covers one scaling a year for insured adults aged 19 and over, and that visitors without Korean insurance pay the non-insured fee. The clinic's own fee table does not list scaling.
Prices
Prices are from the clinic's own fee table on the Korean pages of its website (21 items, last updated on 22 October 2026), which the clinic calls reference fees confirmed after an exam, and from HIRA's non-insured fee data for items the clinic does not price itself (natural-tooth crowns and scaling). The clinic says locals and visitors are charged from the same table, and its English price page says there are no discount or event prices. The table does not state VAT; the clinic says veneers, whitening and gum contouring are subject to VAT, so check the written estimate. Prices may change in November: the clinic's Kakao Map notice of 21 October 2026 says LUCINATE prices rise in November 2026 and mentions an existing price that ends on 31 October. The new prices are not published, so check before you book. HIRA's fee data has no date and differs from the clinic's table for implants (₩950,000) and resin fillings; the clinic's newer table is used. Approximate US dollar amounts use the exchange rate of 23 October 2026.

Doctors
Park Hyun-minChief / representative dentist (대표원장)
Korea's HIRA registry (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service) lists 1 dentist at Lucid Dental Clinic and no dental specialist in any field (October 2026). HIRA does not publish names. The clinic's website lists 7 dentists and describes three of them as Ministry-certified specialists in orthodontics, prosthodontics and integrated dentistry. HIRA does not show these specialties at the clinic, so they are the clinic's claims, and this listing uses HIRA's count of 1 and gives no specialist title. The clinic names these dentists; their English spellings are the directory's, except Dr. Park Hyun-min's:
- Dr. Park Hyun-min (박현민), chief and representative dentist. The clinic says Dr. Park graduated from Kyung Hee University College of Dentistry and holds an esthetic dentistry certification (심미치과 인정의) from a dental academy, which is not a government specialist title. The clinic says Dr. Park leads implant planning and designs THE LUCINATE grade.
- Dr. Lee Jong (이종), orthodontics. The clinic calls Dr. Lee a Ministry-certified orthodontics specialist and Invisalign-certified; HIRA lists no orthodontics specialist at the clinic.
- Dr. Song Ji-eun (송지은), implants and prosthetics. The clinic calls Dr. Song a Ministry-certified prosthodontics specialist; HIRA lists no prosthodontics specialist at the clinic.
- Dr. Kim Ui-hyeon (김의현), implants and fillings. The clinic calls Dr. Kim a Ministry-certified integrated dentistry specialist; HIRA lists no integrated dentistry specialist at the clinic.
- Dr. Kim Yun-hui (김윤희), implants and prosthetics. The clinic says Dr. Kim is a certified member of the Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, an academy certification.
- Dr. Park Jun-seong (박준성), implants and general dentistry. The clinic says Dr. Park graduated from Kyung Hee University College of Dentistry.
- Dr. Kang Eun-jeong (강은정), implants and prosthetics. The clinic says Dr. Kang graduated from Pusan National University's dental school.
Which of the seven is the dentist registered with HIRA is not published. Ask who will treat you.
