Dentures replace missing teeth with a removable set. Published fees include ₩1.8M per arch for a complete denture, ₩1.4M for a partial and ₩300,000 per arch for an immediate denture, with relines at ₩150,000 and repairs at ₩200,000. Your dentist advises which type suits your mouth.
Denture Types
A complete denture replaces all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw. A partial denture fills gaps when some natural teeth remain, and it clips onto or rests against them for support. An immediate denture is made in advance and fitted on the day teeth are removed.
The best type depends on how many teeth you have left, the health of your gums and how much bone remains. Your dentist examines you before recommending anything, and may take X-rays to see what lies beneath the gums.
A partial denture may be suggested when you still have healthy teeth, but a bridge or an implant is also possible in many mouths. A good consultation compares the options using your X-rays and your budget, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
For those who want something more secure than a standard removable denture, an implant overdenture attaches to implants with magnetic attachments. It is still removable for cleaning, but it sits more firmly.
- Complete denture: replaces every tooth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial denture: fills gaps and uses remaining teeth for support.
- Immediate denture: fitted the day teeth are removed.
- Implant overdenture: removable, held by magnetic attachments.
Dentures for Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Bundang Residents
New dentures usually need a few follow-up adjustments because the gums change shape as they settle, so living or working close to the clinic helps. It is beside Taepyeong Station Exit 5 in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, near Moran, Sujin and Sinheung, and reachable from Bundang on the Suin-Bundang Line side of the local map.
Residents around Gachon University and Wirye New Town can plan visits without going into central Seoul. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, with no lunch break, and closed on Sundays; ask for English-language consultation when you book.
The first step is an examination, often with X-rays, to see the state of your remaining teeth, gums and bone. The dentist then explains which kinds of denture could work, along with implant-supported choices if you want something more secure.
Ask how many visits you will need for impressions, try-ins and fitting, so you can fit them around work or travel. Speaking and eating with a new denture takes practice, and the follow-up visits are where the fit is fine-tuned.

Immediate Dentures
If you are having teeth removed, an immediate denture means you leave with teeth in place instead of waiting for the gums to heal. It is made beforehand from measurements taken earlier, so there is no gap in your smile on the day.
As the gums heal and shrink, the denture will need adjusting or replacing, and many patients later move to a permanent denture. Your dentist can explain what to expect and how the stages fit together.
Because an immediate denture is fitted over fresh extraction sites, follow the aftercare advice carefully and attend the review visits. Ask in advance about eating, cleaning and what to do if a sore spot appears.
The published fee for an immediate denture is ₩300,000. Extractions themselves are not on the published list, so that part of the cost is quoted after examination.
Relines and Repairs
Over time the jaw changes shape and a denture can loosen. A reline refits the underside to your gums, and repairs can fix a crack or a broken tooth. If your denture rocks, rubs or no longer holds, book a check instead of putting up with it.
We do not publish separate fees for relines or repairs, so these are quoted after examination. Do not try to glue or adjust a denture at home, because a poor repair can damage the denture or the gums.
Dentures need daily care. Remove and clean them after meals, soak them overnight as advised, and brush your gums and tongue. Avoid harsh abrasives, which can scratch the surface and hold stains.
If a denture breaks, stop wearing it and contact the clinic rather than using a home repair kit.
- Clean after meals and soak overnight as advised.
- Handle over a towel or basin of water to avoid dropping it.
- Bring the denture to every check-up.
Dentures vs Implants
Both replace missing teeth. They differ in cost, comfort and what they need from your jawbone. Many patients consider implants for stability, while others prefer the lower cost and simpler procedure of a denture. Either can be a reasonable choice for the right person.
A magnetic implant overdenture is a middle path, using a small number of implants to hold a removable denture more firmly.
| Denture | Implant | |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed or removable | Removable | Fixed in the jaw |
| Published fee | ₩300,000 – ₩1.8M by type | From ₩350,000 per implant (MegaGen, with PFM crown) |
| Needs bone | Less | Enough bone, or a graft |
| Maintenance | Daily cleaning, relines | Care like natural teeth |
| Surgery | Usually none, unless teeth are removed | Yes, under local anesthesia |
A magnetic implant overdenture is a middle option; ask the dentist.

What this video covers
For patients with no remaining teeth, the dentists compare three approaches: conventional dentures, implant-retained dentures, and fixed full-arch implants. Conventional dentures rest on the gums rather than being anchored to bone, so they can lift or slip when chewing or speaking, and an upper denture covers the palate, which can affect speech and the sense of food temperature and taste; over time the jawbone shrinks, so dentures often become loose. Implant dentures clip onto two to four implants (lower jaw) with snap or magnetic attachments, reducing movement, but they are still removable, may need to come out at night, and may need adjustment as the bone changes. Full-arch implants fix a complete set of teeth on four to six implants without covering the palate and do not need removing, but cleaning under the bridge with a water flosser or interdental brush and regular check-ups are needed.
- Conventional dentures rest on the gums and can loosen as the jawbone shrinks
- Implant dentures clip onto 2-4 implants for more stability but remain removable
- The choice depends on bone condition, general health, budget and lifestyle
