About how much does an implant cost?

The price of one implant basically consists of three items: fixture, abutment, and crown. If bone is lacking, a bone graft is added as an item, and for an upper molar with insufficient remaining bone, a sinus lift. Yeonhap Dental Clinic explains item by item after the CBCT diagnosis, and publishes the fee per implant including a custom abutment and crown, along with the amounts for additional items, on our Non-covered Treatment Fees page.

How much do I pay for NHI-covered implants at age 65 or older?

If you are 65 or older and still have some natural teeth, up to 2 implants per lifetime are covered with a 30% patient copayment, and the copayment per implant is about KRW 430,000. Coverage for completely edentulous patients is scheduled to expand in January 2027, and bone grafts and sinus lifts are not covered by insurance.

Why is the implant bone graft cost charged separately?

A bone graft is a separate procedure from implant placement, so it is listed as its own item. It is needed only when the width or height of the jawbone is insufficient, and that area must be confirmed on the CBCT. The amounts by range are on our Non-covered Treatment Fees page, and even for NHI-covered implants, a bone graft is not covered.

What should I check in a low implant price estimate?

Check three things: whether the abutment and crown are included among the items, whether a bone graft or sinus lift will be added separately later, and whether the warranty and reoperation criteria are written down. Even if the total is low, the final amount changes if items are added later. Only an estimate written item by item allows comparison.

Why Diagnosis Matters

What determines the cost of an implant?

The price of one implant is the sum of the root (fixture), the connecting post (abutment), and the crown, and a bone graft or sinus lift is added only when bone is lacking. Yeonhap Dental Clinic's standard fee per implant includes a custom abutment and crown. All items and amounts are on our Non-covered Treatment Fees page.

Consultation Checklist

What we check at your first consultation

The cost comes out as an item-by-item estimate after we confirm the three points below through a 3D CBCT and consultation.

The number and location of missing teeth: front or back teeth, upper or lower jaw
The width of the jawbone and the bone remaining up to the maxillary sinus. Whether a bone graft or sinus lift is needed
If you are 65 or older, your history of using 2 NHI-covered implants and NHI-covered partial dentures at the same site

Treatment Options

Implant Prices: How They Are Made Up

The three basic items, additional items that apply only when needed, and NHI coverage for ages 65 and older.

Three basic items: whether the price of one includes the abutment and crown

The price of one implant is the sum of the root (fixture), the connecting post (abutment), and the chewing part (crown). Even for one implant, the price differs depending on whether the abutment is stock or custom, and our clinic's fee includes a custom abutment and crown.

Additional items: pontic, bone graft, and sinus lift only when needed

If fewer implants are placed than missing teeth and bridged with a prosthesis, a bridge pontic is added. We consider a bone graft if 2 mm on the cheek side and 1.5 mm on the tongue side do not remain, and a sinus lift if the remaining bone in an upper molar is under 7 mm; both are non-covered even for NHI-covered implants.

National Health Insurance: age 65 or older, some natural teeth remaining, up to 2 for a lifetime

If some natural teeth remain and the coverage conditions are met, the copayment per implant is about KRW 430,000 (30% under NHI). Coverage for completely edentulous patients is scheduled to expand in January 2027 (for those who already use NHI-covered complete dentures, 7 years after receiving support), and the detailed conditions are in our NHI implant guide.

Planning Points

How to Read An Estimate

Look not at the total but at the number of items and their basis.

Diagram of four things that should appear in an implant estimate: the number of items, the CBCT basis for a bone graft or sinus lift, whether the abutment and crown are included, and warranty and reoperation criteria

4 things to check in an estimate

Whether there are 3 items or 5, the CBCT basis for a bone graft or sinus lift, whether the abutment and crown are included, and the warranty and reoperation criteria. An estimate can be compared only when these four are written down, and Yeonhap Dental Clinic provides it in writing if you wish.

Why prices differ by clinic

Because the placement difficulty, whether a bone graft is needed, the abutment and crown makeup, diagnostic equipment, and aftercare criteria differ, it is hard to compare by the total alone. Yeonhap Dental Clinic publishes its standard fees and does not include items that are not needed.

Before Visit

Helpful details before your visit

If you know the points below when you come, you can get an item-by-item estimate at the first consultation.

The location and number of missing teeth, and when the tooth was extracted
If you are 65 or older, how many NHI-covered implants you have used and whether you have received NHI coverage for a partial denture
The area that bothers you most now and your symptoms
Whether you take diabetes or osteoporosis medication, or antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin or Plavix

Implant Prices: Our Criteria at Yeonhap Dental Clinic

Fee per implant: This includes the fixture, custom abutment, and crown; if fewer implants are placed than missing teeth and bridged, a bridge pontic is added separately. Bone graft: Not done if 2 mm on the cheek side and 1.5 mm on the tongue side remain; if needed, the amount varies with the graft range. Sinus lift: Considered when less than 7 mm of remaining bone is present in an upper molar; the amounts differ for the crestal approach and the lateral approach. Inclusions and warranty: A 3D CBCT is included in the surgery fee if surgery proceeds. The 3–5-year fixture and 2-year crown warranties apply to patients who continue 6-month check-ups. The amounts for each item are on our Non-covered Treatment Fees page.

Why implant prices differ from clinic to clinic

Prices differ from clinic to clinic because what is included in the same "one implant" differs. The manufacturer, whether the abutment is stock or custom, whether the crown is included, the criteria for adding a bone graft, and the number of post-surgery checks all vary by clinic. For this reason, Yeonhap Dental Clinic publishes its standard fees and, on the first day, provides an item-by-item estimate that includes only the items needed according to the CBCT. Sources: Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, non-covered treatment fee information · National Health Insurance Service, dental implant coverage guide · Ministry of Health and Welfare, results of the Sept. 8, 2026 Health Insurance Policy Deliberation Committee (strengthening dental coverage) Treatment results and costs may vary by individual oral condition.
