Same-Day Dental Implants (Immediate Load Implants)

If you’re considering same-day dental implants, also known as immediate load implants, in Korea, here’s what you need to know:

Same-day implants allow a temporary crown to be placed on the implant immediately after surgery, reducing the overall treatment time and eliminating the need for multiple visits to wait for healing. Prices typically range from ₩2,000,000–₩4,000,000 (USD $1,600–$3,200) per tooth. Premium systems or cases requiring bone grafting can increase costs up to ₩5,000,000–₩7,000,000 (USD $4,000–$5,600+) per tooth.

What Affects the Price?

Several factors influence same-day implant costs:

  • Bone condition: Sufficient bone density is required; grafting increases cost
  • Implant system/material: Titanium vs Zirconia; domestic vs imported brands
  • Tooth location: Front teeth may require higher aesthetic consideration
  • Clinic type & location: Premium clinics in central Seoul may charge more
  • Anesthesia/sedation: IV sedation or general anesthesia increases cost
  • Diagnostic imaging: X-rays or CT scans for implant planning

What’s Typically Included

Quotes for same-day implants often include:

  • Pre-op consultation and diagnostic imaging (X-ray/CT)
  • Local anesthesia (sometimes IV sedation or general anesthesia)
  • Implant placement and temporary crown placement
  • Post-op care/follow-up, including medications and check-ups

Always confirm with the clinic exactly what is included in the quoted price.

How to Plan & What to Ask the Clinic

  • Ask: “Does the price include the implant, temporary crown, and final crown?”
  • Ask: “Will bone grafting be required?”
  • Ask: “What implant system and materials are used?”
  • For foreign patients: confirm English support and transparent pricing
  • Consider after-care: healing time (usually 3–6 months), follow-up visits, and replacement with the final crown

Example Cost Snapshot for Seoul

  • Standard same-day implant: approx ₩2,000,000–₩4,000,000 (USD $1,600–$3,200) per tooth
