Dental Implants in Busan, Korea

From placement to the final crown, most implants take about 2–4 months, because the implant needs time to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). If a bone graft or sinus lift is needed first, add a few more months of healing. We give you a precise timeline for your case after the CT scan — and plan visits around your travel.

Sometimes the placement and a temporary can be done in one visit, but the final crown usually comes after healing, so most patients plan two trips or a longer stay. We're honest about this up front — we won't rush the timeline in a way that risks the result. Message us with your dates and we'll map out what's realistic.

Yes. Our implant fixture prices include the custom abutment and the zirconia crown for that tooth. If you need a bone graft or sinus lift first, those are quoted separately and shown clearly in your written estimate — never added as a surprise.

All three are genuine, reliable systems; "best" depends on your case. Straumann is the premium Swiss benchmark often chosen for front teeth or demanding cases. Osstem is our most popular all-rounder — excellent reliability and value, placed by Osstem AIC faculty. DIO is a solid value option. Your specialist recommends the right fit for your bone, location and budget.

The surgery itself is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during placement — most patients are surprised how straightforward it is. Mild soreness or swelling for a few days afterward is normal and managed with simple medication. Digital-guided, minimally invasive placement generally means a smoother recovery.

Only if your jawbone has shrunk where the tooth is missing, which is common after teeth have been gone a while. Your cone-beam CT tells us exactly. Simple grafts are often done at the same appointment as the implant; larger ones heal first. We'll confirm whether you need one — and the cost — before anything begins.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last for decades — many for life. The titanium fixture is very durable; the crown on top may occasionally need attention over many years. The biggest factor is gum and bone health, so cleaning around the implant and periodic reviews matter.

There's no upper age limit — many implant patients are older, and general health matters far more than age. The one exception is younger patients whose jaw is still growing; we usually wait until growth is complete. A quick assessment confirms suitability either way.

Often, yes — but it's case by case. Where the site can be grafted and re-implanted after healing, we can revise it. Some situations, such as when extensive block bone grafting would be required, may not be suitable. Send us photos and any records or CT on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest assessment.
