Three systems behind “One Day” dentistry
Speed only matters if the result lasts. These are the tools that let us do both.
0.01 mm
T-Scan digital bite analysis
A sensor records the force and timing of every tooth contact, so implants and crowns are adjusted to an even bite and protected from overload.
PlasmaOne
Plasma-cleaned implant surfaces
Vacuum plasma removes organic contaminants from the implant surface just before placement, increasing blood wettability to support early bone integration.
14 years
Oneday Lab — in-house laboratory
Our own lab (14th floor, opened 2022) can make prosthetics from temporary to final in a single day — no waiting for an outside lab, fewer trips for you.

FAQ
Questions international patients ask us
Is there an English-speaking dentist at Gangnam One Day Dental Clinic?
Yes. Consultations and treatment explanations are available in English, and the clinic also supports Chinese and Japanese. All inquiries and bookings are handled on WhatsApp at +82-10-5298-2875.
Can I really get dental implants in one day in Seoul?
Often, yes. When bone quantity and quality allow, the implant is placed and a temporary tooth is fitted on the same day (immediate loading). Because the clinic has its own dental lab, prosthetics from temporary to final can be made on site. If you need bone grafting or have weak bone, more visits are needed — the dentist confirms this after a 3D CT scan.
How much do dental implants cost in Korea?
The cost depends on the implant system, whether bone grafting is needed and the type of crown. Send a panoramic X-ray or photos on WhatsApp for a provisional estimate before you travel; the final price is confirmed after an in-person exam and CT scan. See our implant cost guide.
How many days should I stay in Seoul for implant treatment?
It depends on your case. Simple cases with immediate loading may need only a few days for the exam, surgery and check-up. Final crowns are usually fitted after the implant has integrated with the bone, which typically means a second trip some months later. You'll receive an estimated schedule before you book flights.
Which implant brands do you use?
The clinic uses OSSTEM and MegaGen implant systems, two widely used Korean implant manufacturers, and treats implant surfaces with PlasmaOne vacuum plasma before placement.
What makes this clinic different from other Gangnam dentists?
Three things: 24 years of practice since 2002; an in-house laboratory (Oneday Lab) that shortens treatment time; and T-Scan digital bite analysis led by Dr. Kim Jin-hwan, Vice President of the Korean Academy of Stomatognathic Function and Occlusion, to balance the bite on implants and crowns.
Is sedation available if I'm nervous?
Yes. IV sleep sedation is available for implant surgery. Your medical history is reviewed beforehand to confirm it is safe for you.
Can expats use insurance at the clinic?
Expats enrolled in Korean National Health Insurance can use it for covered treatments. For private or travel insurance, ask your insurer which documents it needs, then ask the clinic on WhatsApp whether they can be provided.
