How much does an implant cost in Seoul?
It ends at $570 (₩800,000) — a base price that already includes a custom abutment and zirconia crown. The price never changes once you’re in the chair.
| Fixture brand | Fee (KRW) | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Megagen, Neo | ₩800,000≈ $570 | Custom abutment + zirconia crown |
| Osstem SA | ₩900,000≈ $640 | Custom abutment + zirconia crown |
| IBS | ₩1,200,000≈ $850 | Custom abutment + zirconia crown |

| Straumann | ₩1,600,000≈ $1,130 | Roxolid alloy + SLActive hydrophilic surface — healing in ~3–4 weeks (Swiss global-premium fixture) |
All brands include: 3D CT diagnosis · custom abutment · genuine zirconia crown · 7-year fixture warranty · lifetime data storage. Navigation-guided surgery and immediate anterior temporaries are billed separately only when needed (see below).
How is All-on-X full-arch pricing structured?
Full-arch treatment restores an entire jaw with 4–8 implants when few or no teeth remain. Seongmo Dental Clinic publishes base prices for two tiers: an economical hybrid (PMMA/acrylic) and a stronger, more esthetic zirconia + titanium-bar option.
| Arch | Hybrid (PMMA/acrylic) | Zirconia + Ti-bar |
|---|---|---|
| Lower full arch | ₩6,900,000~≈ $4,890~ | ₩8,500,000~≈ $6,020~ |
| Upper full arch | ₩7,900,000~≈ $5,590~ | ₩9,500,000~≈ $6,730~ |
| Both arches | ₩11,900,000~≈ $8,430~ | ₩14,000,000~≈ $9,910~ |
Both tiers use multi-unit abutments (MUA) — case-dependent same-day or next-day fixed temporary teeth, minimizing time without teeth. Titanium bar/zirconia bridge specs apply to the zirconia + Ti-bar tier.
When and how much does bone grafting add?
| Procedure | Fee (KRW) | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Simple graft | ₩200,000≈ $140 | Premium collagen bone graft material (InterOss·ExCelos, etc.) + membrane |
| Standard graft | ₩300,000≈ $210 | Premium collagen bone graft material + membrane |
| Complex graft | ₩500,000≈ $350 | Premium collagen bone graft material + membrane |
| Sinus lift (standard) | ₩500,000≈ $350 | Premium collagen bone graft material + membrane |
| Sinus lift (complex) | ₩800,000≈ $570 | Premium collagen bone graft material + membrane |
What order do implant costs occur in?
- 3D CT diagnosis — bone density, nerve position, insured vs. non-insured items clarified
- Treatment plan — total estimated cost provided in writing before treatment begins
- Bone graft (if needed) — ₩200,000–800,000 depending on bone condition
- Fixture placement — ₩800,000–1,600,000 by brand; same-day placement possible when conditions are met
- Osseointegration wait — duration varies by bone condition, no added fee
- Custom abutment + zirconia crown — included in implant fee, no separate charge
- Regular checkups & warranty care — Plazen/Perioflow maintenance, lifetime prosthetic data storage
Navigation-guided surgery — ₩100,000 for the first implant, +₩50,000 each additional (max ₩300,000 per arch). Immediate anterior temporary — ₩100,000 per tooth, placed same day.
Resin vs. inlay — how does cavity treatment pricing differ?
Catch it early and it’s a $42 (₩60,000) filling. Wait, and inlay treatment starts at $210 (₩300,000). The longer decay is left untreated, the more it costs. Seongmo Dental Clinic shows you the extent with Q-ray fluorescence before any drilling.
Same molar, different timing — how much does the cost change?
Based on Seongmo Dental Clinic’s fee schedule — the longer treatment is delayed, the higher the tier. The cheapest treatment is always today’s treatment.
Small cavity — standard & no-prep resin fees
| Item | Fee (KRW) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pit resin | ₩60,000≈ $42 | Per surface · discount for additional surfaces |
| Cervical resin | ₩70,000≈ $50 | Per surface · discount for additional surfaces |
| Occlusal resin | ₩100,000≈ $71 | Per surface · discount for additional surfaces |
| Interproximal resin | ₩120,000≈ $85 | Per surface · discount for additional surfaces |
| Wisdom tooth resin | ₩150,000≈ $110 | Hard-to-access rearmost molar · per surface |
| Diastema resin | ₩200,000≈ $140 | Per surface · discount for additional surfaces |
| ICON resin infiltration | ₩120,000≈ $85 | White spots · semi-permanent · no-drill option |
Early decay can sometimes be treated with the AquaCare water-jet system — no drill, no anesthesia, removing only decayed tissue. Especially recommended for children and needle-phobic patients.
Premium bond-fill resin — why doesn’t it chip or fall out?
Bond-fill resin is a premium restorative that resists chipping and detachment far better than standard resin; Seongmo Dental Clinic backs bond-fill restorations with a 5-year warranty. Bond Fill is a 4-META/MMA-TBB class material that retains flexibility and elasticity even after curing — where standard resin can loosen or fracture over time, bond-fill’s high bond strength and elasticity hold up at wear- and fracture-prone sites.
| Item | Fee (KRW) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pit bond-fill | ₩100,000≈ $71 | 5-yr warranty · chip/detach-resistant resin |
| Cervical bond-fill | ₩130,000≈ $92 | 5-yr warranty · cervical fracture repair |
| Occlusal bond-fill | ₩180,000≈ $130 | 5-yr warranty · occlusal wear repair |
| Interproximal bond-fill | ₩200,000≈ $140 | 5-yr warranty · chip/detach-resistant resin |
| Diastema bond-fill | ₩300,000≈ $210 | 5-yr warranty · chip/detach-resistant resin |
Deep decay — inlay/onlay fees
| Item | Fee (KRW) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid inlay | ₩300,000≈ $210 | Resin-ceramic composite · lowest cost option |
| Ceramic inlay | ₩400,000≈ $280 | Natural shade match · strong bond limits secondary decay |
| Ceramic onlay | ₩550,000≈ $390 | Covers cusps · less tooth reduction than a crown |
| Gold inlay, class I | ₩650,000≈ $460 | Single occlusal cavity · long clinical track record |
| Gold inlay, class II | ₩700,000≈ $500 | Includes interproximal surface · wear pattern like natural teeth |
| Gold onlay | ₩800,000≈ $570 | Protects molars under heavy bite force |
Ceramic inlays/onlays are milled and fired in-house — case-dependent same-day fabrication and delivery, no temporary-tooth period, one anesthesia visit.
In conclusion, Seongmo Dental Clinic diagnoses cavity extent precisely with Q-ray fluorescence and recommends the least-invasive treatment that still preserves enamel.
Crown & veneer prices — and how to choose between them
Zirconia $320 (₩450,000), E-max $500 (₩700,000), veneers $390–530 (₩550,000–750,000) — and less tooth reduction means the tooth lasts longer. Seongmo Dental Clinic starts by considering the option that removes the least structure.
| Item | Fee (KRW) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Zirconia crown (posterior) | ₩450,000≈ $320 | Core billed separately |
| Zirconia crown (anterior) | ₩500,000≈ $350 | Core billed separately |

| E-max crown (anterior) | ₩700,000≈ $500 | Core separate · custom 1:1 shade matching |
| Endocrown (anterior) | ₩750,000≈ $530 | No further reduction after root canal · can preserve a root-only tooth · core separate |
| Minimal/no-prep veneer | ₩550,000–750,000≈ $390–530 | VAT included · discount for multiples · no-prep possible case-dependent |
| Gold crown | ₩850,000≈ $600 | Core billed separately |
| Resin core | ₩50,000≈ $35 | Essential reinforcement after root canal |
| Fiber-reinforced resin core | ₩200,000≈ $140 | Biomimetic material that cushions bite force like dentin · extends tooth/restoration lifespan |

|---|---|
| Hybrid inlay | Cost is the top priority |
| Ceramic inlay | High strength, strong bond — for long-term use |
| Ceramic onlay | Wide decay, minimal reduction still preferred |
| Overlay | ~50% less reduction than a crown, extends natural-tooth life |
| Gold inlay/crown | Preference for a long clinical track record |
| Zirconia crown | Balance of high strength and reasonable cost |
| E-max crown | Glass-ceramic translucency, natural esthetics |
| Endocrown | Preserves a root-only tooth without extraction |
| Minimal/no-prep veneer | Minimal or no reduction for an overall smile makeover |

What should you check when choosing a dentist near Sungshin Women’s University?
When choosing a clinic, it matters whether fees are disclosed, whether materials are genuine and to standard spec, and what warranty and data-management systems are in place after treatment.
| Checkpoint | Typical practice | Seongmo Dental Clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Fee disclosure | Case-by-case after consultation | Every fee published · multi-tooth discount |
| Implant materials | Brand/spec varies | Abutment matching Seoul National University Dental Hospital spec + genuine zirconia |
| Root canal | Files only | Plazen® (Plazen RCT®) plasma + files combined |
| Anesthesia | Standard injection | Topical → i-ject 32G → QuickSleeper intraosseous, staged |
| Scaling | Ultrasonic only | EMS Airflow full system (only complete set in Seongbuk-gu) |
| Prosthetic data | Storage policy varies | Stored for life — rapid remake if damaged |
| Treatment warranty | Case-by-case | Fixture 7 yrs · bond-fill 5 yrs · ceramic 3 yrs, by item |
The EMS Airflow full system reduces gum irritation compared to ultrasonic-only scaling, and Plazen® sterilizes micro-canals a file alone cannot reach — Seongmo Dental Clinic discloses these equipment, material and warranty differences alongside every fee.
The price you see on this page today is the same price you’ll hear in the treatment room.
Key dental terms explained
- Non-covered (non-insured) treatment
- A treatment not covered by Korean National Health Insurance, paid entirely out of pocket — implants, veneers, professional whitening and similar items. Fees vary by clinic, so checking the published schedule in advance matters.
- Fixture
- The implant body placed in the jawbone. It functions as an artificial tooth root through osseointegration; surface treatment differs by brand.
- Abutment
- The connector piece linking the fixture to the crown. Seongmo Dental Clinic uses custom abutments matching Seoul National University Dental Hospital specification.
- Osseointegration
- The process by which a placed fixture fuses solidly with the jawbone. Waiting time varies with bone quality and site, predicted via 3D CT.
- Plazen (Plazen RCT®)
- A root-canal adjunct device that uses plasma energy to sterilize bacteria inside the canal. It reaches micro-canals standard files cannot, billed at the same National Health Insurance root-canal fee.
- Overlay
- A restoration covering the entire occlusal surface including cusps, but removing roughly 50% less tooth structure than a full crown. Preserving enamel improves bond strength and tooth longevity.
- Endocrown
- A restoration for a root-canal-treated tooth reduced to little more than the root, retained by the internal pulp-chamber space rather than extraction.
- Bond Fill
- A 4-META/MMA-TBB class restorative material that stays flexible and elastic even after curing. Higher bond strength than standard resin suits cervical-fracture and occlusal-wear repair, backed by a 5-year warranty.
- Light curing
- Hardening a resin restorative by exposing it to curing light. Shade selection and cure quality determine how well a resin restoration finishes.
- QuickSleeper
- An intraosseous anesthesia device that delivers anesthetic directly inside the jawbone. Onset is faster than a standard injection, and the numbed area is more localized.
- Ivotion
- Ivoclar’s digital denture system. A single disc combining tooth and gum material is milled as one piece, so it warps and traps air less than hand-built dentures, needs fewer visits, and — because fabrication data is stored — is easy to remake if damaged.
- Conscious sedation
- A sedation technique using midazolam or remimazolam to reduce anxiety while the patient keeps breathing independently. Recovery is faster than with general anesthesia.
