How do dental implants work in Seoul, and how long does treatment take?
A dental implant is a titanium root placed in the jawbone that supports a crown, bridge or denture. At Gangnam One Day Dental Clinic, implants are planned with 3D CT, placed using OSSTEM or MegaGen systems, and restored in an in-house lab. Treatment usually takes 2 to 6 months, or less when bone allows an immediate-load (same-day) implant.

Which implant treatment fits your situation?
Implant treatment is not one procedure. The right option depends on how many teeth are missing, how much bone you have, and how quickly you need teeth back. Our 13 dentists work across 5 departments, so oral surgery, periodontics and prosthodontics plan your case together.
If one tooth is missing, a single-tooth implant replaces it without touching the neighbouring teeth. If most or all teeth are missing, a fixed full arch such as All-on-4 or a removable implant-supported denture may suit you better.
- One missing tooth: single implant and crown
- Several teeth in a row: implant bridge on 2 or more implants
- A whole arch: All-on-4, full-arch fixed bridge or implant overdenture
- Extraction needed today: immediate implant, when bone and stability allow
- Problem with an existing implant: implant repair and occlusion check
How we plan and place implants
Every case starts with a 3D CT scan and an intraoral scan. These show bone height, width and nerve position, so the implant size and angle are chosen before surgery. Implant surfaces can be treated with PlasmaOne vacuum plasma before placement.
After the crown is fitted, Chief Director Dr. Kim Jin-hwan's team checks the bite with T-Scan Novus digital occlusion analysis. Dr. Kim wrote the chapter "Controlling the Occlusion of Implant-Supported Restorations" in the IGI Global Handbook of Research on T-Scan Technology Applications in Dental Medicine. Balanced bite forces help protect the implant over time.

- OSSTEM and MegaGen implant systems
- PlasmaOne vacuum plasma surface treatment
- T-Scan Novus bite analysis after loading

Get a free opinionTreatment for patients travelling to Seoul
About 60% of our implant patients travel from outside Seoul. Our in-house Oneday Lab, opened in 2022 in our Startplex building, can make temporary to final prosthetics in one day with CAD/CAM milling, which helps reduce the number of trips.
When bone allows, an immediate-load implant can give you a temporary tooth on the day of surgery. Where bone is thin, bone grafting may be needed first, which adds healing time. Send your X-ray or CT on WhatsApp and we will outline the likely number of visits before you book flights.
| Single implant | Implant bridge | All-on-4 / full arch | Implant overdenture | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teeth replaced | 1 | 2–4 in a row | A full arch (10–14 teeth) | A full arch |
| Implants needed | 1 | 2–3 | 4–6 per arch | 2–4 per arch |
| Fixed or removable | Fixed | Fixed | Fixed | Removable |
| Typical time to final teeth | 2–6 months | 2–6 months | 3–6 months (temporary arch on day 1 if stable) | 3–6 months |
| Bone graft likely? | Sometimes | Sometimes | Often avoided by angled implants | Sometimes |

WhatsApp review
Send recent X-rays, CT or photos. We reply with a provisional plan, likely visits and an estimate range.
- Day 1
Examination and 3D CT
Full exam, 3D CT and intraoral scan. The dentist confirms the plan, implant system and timeline with you.
- Surgery day
Implant placement
Implants are placed under local anaesthesia, with IV sleep sedation if you prefer. A temporary tooth may be fitted when stability allows.
- 2–6 months
Healing
The bone bonds to the implant (osseointegration). Many patients return home during this period.
- Final visit
Final crown and bite check
The final crown or bridge is fitted and the bite is balanced with T-Scan Novus.
Things to know before you decide
- Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking or recent jaw radiotherapy can reduce implant success; the dentist reviews your medical history first.
- Thin or soft bone may need bone grafting, which typically adds 3–6 months of healing.
- Gum disease must be treated before implants, because untreated infection can spread to the implant (peri-implantitis).
- Swelling and mild discomfort for 2–5 days after surgery are common.
- Implants need daily cleaning and regular check-ups; they cannot decay but the surrounding gum and bone can still become inflamed.
