Dental implants in Pyeongchon, Anyang — replacing a missing tooth
Compare an implant on value, not on price
If you are comparing implants on price alone, we may not be the clinic for you.
But if you compare on value, you have come to the right place.
Three things that decide how long an implant lasts — the fixture, where it is placed, and the care afterwards
We study not the lowest price but the
lifespan
of the implants we place.
01
Which implant we place
We use established implant systems
and explain the options open to you.
02
Where we place it
The angle, the position and the depth of the
fixture affect how long an implant lasts.
See the placement for yourself.
03
How we look after it
A structured recall programme lets us check the implant,
the gums around it and your bite at regular visits.

Implant cases that needed more planning — bone grafting where the ridge had resorbed
Implant cases
that needed more planning
- Finding
Very little bone was left, so grafting was needed.
- Treatment
The sinus membrane was lifted, bone grafting was done, and the implants were placed in the same operation.

Dental implants — questions we are often asked
- Does getting an implant hurt?
- The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so there is little pain during it. Some discomfort afterwards is normal and is managed with prescribed medication. Tell us if you are anxious about the procedure and we will talk through what will happen first.
- How long does an implant last?
- With regular check-ups and good daily cleaning, implants are commonly used for ten years or more. How long yours lasts depends on your own oral health and habits, so no single figure applies to everyone.
- Is an implant covered by National Health Insurance?
- Implants are covered only in the limited cases that NHIS defines, so most implant treatment is paid by the patient. The examination, extractions and gum treatment around it may be covered. Bring your Alien Registration Card and we will check what applies before you decide.
- How many visits does it take?
- Usually several visits spread over a few months, because the bone needs time to heal around the implant before the crown is fitted. If you are planning to leave Korea, tell us at the first visit so we can talk about what is realistic in the time you have.
