Dental Implants in Korea Cost
What the Price Includes and What Costs Extra
Dental implants are one of the main reasons people look at treatment in Korea. This article explains how much a dental implant costs in Korea at our clinic, what is usually included, what is charged separately such as bone grafting, and why the total plan matters more than the headline price.
How much does a dental implant cost in Korea?
These are the standard implant fees on our clinic's published price list in Seoul:
| Item | KRW | Approx. USD |
|---|---|---|
| Implant, per tooth (Osstem or Dentium, Korean brands) | KRW 1,200,000 | about $905 |
| Implant with a zirconia crown, per tooth | KRW 1,500,000 | about $1,131 |
| Bone graft, per site (only if needed) | KRW 200,000 – 1,000,000 | about $151 – $754 |
Whether you need a bone graft, and how much, depends on the condition of your jawbone, which we check on X-rays and a scan before quoting.
Why can implants in Korea cost less?
How treatment is organised and how many cases clinics see
Clinics in Seoul treat a large number of implant cases, and diagnosis, surgery and the final crown can often be handled in one clinic. This helps keep costs under control.
Choice of implant brands and materials
Korea makes its own implant systems, such as Osstem and Dentium, so clinics have more choice of brands and materials. Ask which system will be used, because it affects the price and future maintenance.
What is included, and what costs extra?
Often included
- Consultation and examination
- Placing the implant fixture
- The abutment and the final crown (check which crown material)
Often charged separately
- Bone grafting or sinus procedures when bone is lacking
- Extractions and temporary teeth
- Upgrading the crown material
- Extra visits or follow-up after you go home
Why the total treatment plan matters
An implant is not finished in one day. After the implant is placed, the bone needs time to heal before the final crown is fitted, so most international patients make more than one trip. The cost of those trips belongs in your comparison.
- How many trips will I need, and how long is each stay?
- What happens if bone grafting is needed?
- Who do I contact if something feels wrong after I return home?
Healing time and the need for grafting differ from person to person, and an implant plan can only be confirmed after an examination.
