Full-mouth dental implants in Busan — a whole bite, rebuilt fixed.
When most or all teeth are beyond saving, we rebuild both arches as fixed implant-supported teeth — upper 7 + lower 6 fixtures, ₩15,000,000–20,000,000 plus guide fee, published like everything else here. Teeth that stay in your mouth, screwed to bone — not a denture that sleeps in a glass.

What do full-mouth implants cost in Busan — and what does that buy?
Our published range for fixed full-mouth implants is ₩15,000,000–20,000,000 for both arches — upper 7 fixtures + lower 6 — plus the surgical guide fee, with the CT (₩30,000) opening the plan. Where the number lands inside the range depends on bone: grafting needs, fixture tiers, and how much rebuilding your jaw asks for — all itemised in a written plan before anything begins.
What it buys is specific: fixed teeth — a full bridge per arch, screwed to fixtures, cleaned in your mouth, never taken out at night. It is the most treatment dentistry does in one plan, which is exactly why this page spends less time selling it and more time on the honest question underneath: whether you actually need it, or whether saving the teeth you still have serves you better. Both paths get priced below.
Not many implants — one structure.
A full-arch rebuild is a different animal from thirteen separate single implants — and dramatically more efficient. Instead of one fixture per missing tooth, each arch gets a calculated set — seven in the upper jaw, six in the lower — positioned where your bone is strongest, and a single continuous bridge of teeth is fixed across them. The fixtures are pillars; the bridge is the span; your bite is the traffic it carries.
The word doing the work is fixed. The bridge screws to the fixtures and stays — you eat with it, sleep with it, clean it in your mouth. Nothing sits in a glass, nothing rocks on gums, nothing is re-glued each morning. It’s the closest dentistry comes to issuing a second set of teeth, and it’s the only full-mouth option we offer, because it’s the one we’d choose ourselves.
And because the fixtures load the jaw the way roots did, the bone under them keeps its job and keeps its volume — the same Wolff’s-law economics that make every implant a preservation device, multiplied across the whole arch. A full-arch plan doesn’t just restore chewing; it stops the quiet facial-collapse clock that toothlessness starts.
Six roads to a full-arch conversation — one of them leads away from it.
A mouth past the tipping point
The core caseWhen most teeth are loose, broken-down or already gone, rescuing survivors one by one becomes serial expensive goodbyes. Past that tipping point, one planned rebuild beats five years of piecemeal extractions — financially and emotionally.
Periodontitis took the arch
Disease first, then rebuildAdvanced gum disease is the most common author of full-arch stories. The sequence is non-negotiable: active infection treated and settled, then fixtures — a rebuild on inflamed ground inherits the fire.
Done with the denture
Glass-to-fixed convertsLong-time denture wearers know the list: rocking on shrinking ridges, food rules, the nightly glass. Fixed full-arch replaces the appliance with anatomy — and existing denture wearers often feel the difference most vividly of anyone.
One arch, not both
Half-plans welcomeFrequently only one jaw has collapsed — commonly the upper — while the other holds. We plan per arch: one rebuilt fixed, the other maintained or partially restored, priced separately and honestly.
Serial failures, mounting bills
The arithmetic consultRoot canal, crown, re-treatment, extraction, bridge, repeat — some mouths burn full-arch money in instalments while never getting full-arch stability. A CT and a candid spreadsheet settle whether patching still makes sense.
Savable teeth still standing
Then we say noIf your CT shows a workable number of sound, saveable teeth, full-arch is over-treatment and we’ll refuse it — extraction of healthy teeth to simplify a rebuild is surgery serving a product. Strategic saving comes first; the rebuild waits for genuine need.
How a full-arch rebuild actually goes.
CT, verdicts & the written plan
The CT (₩30,000) maps every tooth’s prognosis and every region’s bone. Out comes the honest ledger — what’s saveable, what isn’t — and the itemised plan with the ₩15,000,000–20,000,000 range narrowed to your number, guide fee included in writing.
Digital surgical design
Thirteen fixtures earn their guide fee: positions, angles and depths are planned on your scan and locked into a printed surgical guide, so surgery executes a design instead of improvising one.
Surgery, arch by arch
Failed teeth are removed and fixtures placed per the guide — sequenced and staged to your anatomy and stamina. Provisional solutions cover the healing chapters; the plan tells you exactly what you’ll wear when, before you commit.
The integration months
Bone adopts the fixtures over a healing period measured in months and confirmed by testing — thirteen quiet handshakes underground. International patients spend this chapter at home with WhatsApp check-ins.
The bridges arrive
Integration confirmed, the final bridges are fabricated, screwed to the fixtures, and tuned bite-first — contacts, speech, symmetry. Then the strangest part: within weeks, a rebuilt mouth starts feeling like simply your mouth.
Three paths for a failing mouth — compared without a thumb on the scale.
| Full-arch fixed — ₩15M–20M + guide | Strategic save + partial implants | Keep patching tooth by tooth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Both arches rebuilt as fixed bridges on 7+6 fixtures — one plan, one structure | Sound teeth kept and treated; gaps filled with single implants(₩750,000–1,700,000 each, crown included) | Treat each crisis as it comes — the default nobody chose on purpose |
| Right when | Most teeth genuinely unsaveable — the CT, not fatigue, says so | A workable core of healthy teeth still stands — our first recommendation whenever true | Failures are rare and isolated — a young problem, not a collapsing one |
| The honest cost shape | Largest single number in dentistry — and often smaller than a decade of the third column | Scales with gap count — frequently the best value in mid-collapse mouths | Feels cheapest per visit; compounds quietly into the most expensive path per decade |
| What we’ll tell you | “Yes” only after the tooth-by-tooth ledger proves it | Our default bias — keeping teeth beats replacing them, every time it’s honest | Fine until the arithmetic flips — and we’ll show you the flip point on your own chart |
The pattern to notice: full-arch is the right answer to the right mouth and an expensive answer to the wrong one. The CT consult exists to find out which mouth is yours — and our bias runs toward saving teeth, because a clinic that reaches for the biggest plan first isn’t diagnosing.
Bridge engineering — in the civil-engineering sense.
The fixture counts aren’t marketing round numbers — they’re load calculations. A short tour of the physics you’re buying:
Pillars where the loads live
A full arch chews with tonnes of cumulative daily force, heaviest at the back. Fixtures are stationed like bridge pillars — densest where molars grind, angled where anatomy demands — so no section of the span carries more than its engineering allows.
Why the upper gets seven
Upper jawbone runs softer than lower — biology’s quiet joke — and borders the sinus, which limits fixture length in the back. Softer ground plus shorter pillars equals one more pillar: seven up, six down isn’t symmetry-breaking, it’s soil mechanics.
Cantilevers kept honest
Any bridge tooth hanging beyond the last fixture is a lever prying on the whole structure with every bite. Good full-arch design keeps these overhangs short and calculated — one of the invisible differences between a planned rebuild and a cheap one, and part of what the guide fee actually buys.
Structures get inspected
A fixed bridge is serviceable by design: it unscrews at the clinic for deep cleaning or repair, then goes back on — while daily care happens in your mouth like natural teeth. Routine checks and scaling (₩30,000) are the bridge inspections of dentistry; skip them and even Swiss engineering corrodes.
Why is the price a range — what moves ₩15M toward ₩20M?
Bone, mostly. Collapsed arches often need grafting or sinus work before fixtures have honest footing; fixture tier choices and the complexity of your provisional phase move the number too. The guide fee sits on top, stated separately because it’s a real cost we’d rather name than bury. Your CT consult converts the range into one written figure — before anything irreversible happens.
Is full-arch treatment painful? It sounds enormous.
The surgery is bigger than a single implant; the experience is more manageable than the imagination insists. Placement runs under local anaesthesia in planned, guided stages — the guide shortens surgical time considerably — and the recovery week is swelling-and-soft-food territory, medicated and mapped in advance. Ask patients what surprised them and the common answer isn’t pain — it’s how quickly the new teeth stopped feeling like news.
Am I too old for full-mouth implants?
Age alone almost never disqualifies — healthy patients integrate fixtures well late into life, and restored chewing pays its biggest dividends exactly then: nutrition, speech, the social confidence of a secure smile. What we actually assess is health context — bone on the CT, gum status, medications, healing capacity — individually and honestly. Plenty of our most delighted rebuild patients came in convinced they’d waited too long.
Can you rebuild just my upper jaw?
Yes — single-arch rebuilds are routine, and the upper is the frequent flyer: softer bone and gum disease tend to take it first while lower teeth soldier on. We plan per arch — upper 7 fixtures fixed, lower maintained, partially restored, or scheduled for later — each priced separately so you’re never buying an arch you don’t need. The CT settles which of your jaws is actually asking.
What happens to my remaining teeth in a full-arch plan?
They get individual verdicts, not a group sentence. Every standing tooth is graded on the CT — sound, treatable, or beyond saving — and we don’t extract healthy teeth to make room for a product. Sometimes the honest outcome is a smaller plan than you walked in expecting: a strategic-save path with single implants filling true gaps. The rebuild earns its scale only when the ledger proves it.
How do I clean a fixed full-arch bridge?
Mostly like teeth, with two additions: brushing as normal, plus a water flosser or interdental brushes worked under the bridge line daily — that under-span corridor is where trouble recruits. Clinic visits add professional cleaning with periodic unscrew-and-service deep cleans. The structure can’t decay, but the gums under it remain fully biological — maintenance is the warranty you administer yourself.

Small truths about full-arch rebuilds.
- The consult is where the money is saved. The gap between a right-sized plan and a reflexive maximal one can be thousands — in either direction. A ₩30,000 CT and an honest tooth ledger are the cheapest items on this page and decide everything above them.
- Smoking and full-arch are a genuinely bad pair. Thirteen fixtures multiply the stakes of throttled healing. We’ll discuss odds candidly — and a rebuild this size is the most persuasive quitting deadline a mouth ever issues.
- Your face is part of the plan. Tooth length, lip support and smile line are designed, not inherited from the wreckage — rebuild patients get a say in their smile that nature never offered. Bring opinions; bring old photos.
- Speech has a short adjustment chapter. A new palate-adjacent bridge changes the acoustics for a couple of weeks — s-sounds especially. It resolves with use; reading aloud speeds it. Plan around it if you talk for a living.
- The provisional phase is part of the deal, not a delay. What you wear between surgery and final bridges is planned, functional and discussed upfront — nobody leaves toothless, and knowing the interim plan in writing is half the anxiety cured.
When full-arch is right — and when we’ll refuse it.
The rebuild is right when…
- the CT ledger shows most teeth genuinely beyond saving — verdicts, not vibes
- gum disease is treated and settled, giving fixtures honest ground
- you want fixed teeth — cleaned in your mouth, never in a glass
- you’re done funding serial failures and want one engineered answer with one written price
We’ll refuse or redirect when…
- saveable teeth still stand in workable numbers — extracting health to sell hardware is where we stop being the right clinic for the job, on purpose
- active periodontitis rages — treatment first; rebuilds on infection inherit it
- health factors stack against thirteen integrations — we’ll say so plainly and plan smaller or staged
- the budget only stretches with regret — a well-planned partial path now beats a financed rebuild that strains everything around it
Full-mouth implant FAQ.
The full fixed rebuild of both arches: thirteen fixtures (upper 7, lower 6), the surgical phases, and the final fixed bridges — with the surgical guide fee stated additionally, and site work like grafting or sinus lifts itemised where your CT requires them. Your written plan lists every line before treatment starts, because a number this size deserves an anatomy: you'll know exactly what's inside yours.
It's a chaptered story rather than a single date: extractions and any site rebuilding, fixture surgery, integration months confirmed by testing, then final bridges — with the calendar set by your bone's healing, not by a brochure. Grafting adds chapters; strong bone shortens them. The honest version of "how long" is the written timeline you'll get at the CT consult, mapped to your anatomy and, for international patients, to your feasible trips.
For chewing power, stability and bone preservation — categorically, and it's why fixed is the only full-mouth option we offer. A removable denture rests on gums that keep shrinking beneath it, needs periodic refitting, and caps bite force at a fraction of natural. Fixed bridges on implants load the bone, hold still under steak, and live in your mouth permanently between clinic services. Dentures remain the budget-honest option elsewhere; we've simply chosen to do the version we believe in.
We don't sell the one-day version — deliberately. Same-day loading protocols exist and suit a narrow band of ideal-bone cases, but they trade integration certainty for a headline, and thirteen fixtures are a lot to gamble on a slogan. Our protocol is staged: surgery, a planned provisional phase, integration confirmed by testing, then final bridges. Slower to advertise; considerably kinder to a ₩15–20M investment.
This is the quiet advantage of engineered redundancy: the arch is designed so a single fixture loss doesn't strand the bridge. The failed site is assessed, healed and typically re-placed, with the structure serviced around it — an unscrew-repair-rescrew procedure rather than a start-over. It's also why fixture count and positioning matter more than minimum-implant marketing: margins are designed in before they're needed.
