What Is a Dental Implant?

A biocompatible titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone to replace a tooth root and support a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.

Who’s a Good Candidate

  • One or more missing/failing teeth
  • Adequate bone (or willingness for graft/sinus lift)
  • Healthy gums and good hygiene habits
  • Non-smoker or ready to reduce for healing

Treatment Options

  • Single Implant + Crown for one tooth
  • Implant Bridge to span multiple teeth
  • All-on-X (Full Arch) with 4–6 implants per jaw
  • Immediate Provisional (case dependent) for esthetic zones
  • Bone/Sinus Augmentation when volume is limited

Step-by-Step Timeline

  1. Consult & Diagnostics — CBCT, photos, bite analysis
  2. Digital Planning — Virtual positioning; guide if indicated
  3. Surgery — Local anesthesia; grafting if needed
  4. Healing (Osseointegration) — ~8–12 weeks (longer if grafted)
  5. Restorations — Scan/impressions → custom abutment + crown/bridge
  6. Maintenance — Hygiene every 3–6 months; night-guard for grinders

Travel Plan (Typical)

  • Trip 1 (2–5 days): Consult → scan → surgery (+ temporary in front tooth cases when appropriate)
  • Home healing (8–12+ weeks) with remote check-ins
  • Trip 2 (3–7 days): Final scans/try-ins → deliver crown/bridge

Comfort & Safety

  • Local anesthesia ± sedation
  • Aseptic protocol; sensitivity and swelling usually manageable with standard meds

Esthetics That Look Natural

  • Tissue management for papilla/gingival symmetry
  • Shade strategy coordinated with any whitening before final shade match
  • Layered ceramics or monolithic zirconia depending on load and esthetics

Expected Costs (Guide)

  • Single implant + crown: ₩1.5M–₩3.0M per tooth
  • Bone graft / sinus lift (if needed): ₩400K–₩1.5M+ per site
  • All-on-4/6 (per arch): ₩10M–₩20M+

FAQs

Does surgery hurt?
You’ll be numb during the procedure; most report pressure more than pain. Post-op discomfort is manageable with routine meds.

How soon can I chew?
Soft diet for 1–2 weeks; full loading after your dentist confirms integration.

What if I’m missing bone?
Ridge augmentation or sinus lift can rebuild volume; timing depends on case.
