About DIO Implants
DIO is one of the implant brands we offer alongside MegaGen, Osstem and Straumann. On the published list it is priced at ₩550,000.
A dental implant has three parts: the fixture placed in the jaw, an abutment that connects to it, and the crown that you see. Which brand to use depends on your budget, the tooth position and your dentist's recommendation.
Choosing between brands is partly about price and partly about what each quote contains. Looking at a single number can mislead, so it helps to ask what sits inside it before comparing one clinic or one brand with another.
Your dentist can explain how a brand fits your situation, for example a back tooth that takes heavy chewing force compared with a front tooth that is more visible. We do not rank brands against each other on this page.
- Fixture: the root-like part placed in the jaw.
- Abutment: the connector between fixture and crown.
- Crown: the visible tooth, listed separately as a PFM or zirconia implant crown.
DIO Implants for Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Bundang Residents
The clinic is by Taepyeong Station, Exit 5, in Sujin-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam. If you live or work in Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin, Sinheung, Gachon or the Wirye New Town area, you can see your dentist without going into central Seoul.
Moran and Sujin are on the Line 8 side of the local map, and Moran and Bokjeong also appear on the Suin-Bundang Line, so many Bundang-side residents can plan a route by subway. We do not quote travel times; check your own route in a map app before booking.
Implant care is spread over more than one visit, so a clinic you can reach easily is a practical advantage. Placement, review and the crown fitting each need an appointment.
For a DIO implant, an examination comes first. Our dentists will explain what is suitable for your case, and you can ask in English. The clinic is open Mon–Wed 09:30–20:30, Thu 09:30–19:00, Fri 09:30–18:30 and Sat 09:30–13:00, closed Sundays.
What Is Included in the Price
The table shows how the published DIO figure relates to the other items on the price list. On the clinic's schedule the implant, abutment and crown are listed as separate items, so reading it line by line is the easiest way to compare against another quote.
An implant crown is listed separately at ₩350,000 (PFM) or ₩450,000 (zirconia) per tooth. For example, a DIO implant at ₩550,000 plus a zirconia implant crown at ₩450,000 comes to ₩1,000,000 before any abutment or bone work your case may need. When you compare quotes, check whether the crown and abutment are in the figure.
Items that are not in the DIO figure are priced on their own and only if your case needs them. These include the implant crown, a custom or zirconia abutment, bone graft, sinus lift, sedation and any treatment of neighboring teeth.
| Part | How it is listed |
|---|---|
| Implant fixture | ₩550,000 |
| Abutment (custom ₩100K / ₩300K, zirconia ₩200K) | Separate, only if needed |
| Implant crown (PFM ₩350K / zirconia ₩450K) | Separate item, per tooth |
| Guided / navigation placement | Ask whether it is planned for your case |
| Bone graft (₩100K to ₩1M) | Separate, only if needed |
| Sinus lift | Quoted after CT examination, only if needed |
| Conscious sedation (₩300K / ₩400K) | Separate, optional |
Prices are the published non-covered price list in KRW. Your written quote lists exactly which items your case needs; confirm at consultation.
Who It Suits
DIO may suit someone who wants a mid-range implant price without moving up to a premium brand. It is a conversation to have with your dentist, who considers bone, bite and your goals.
If you need bone work first, a bone graft (₩100K to ₩1M by extent) is separate from this price, and a sinus lift is quoted after CT examination.
Not everyone is a candidate for every implant plan. Gum disease, heavy smoking, some medical conditions and some medicines can affect whether and when an implant is sensible. Tell your dentist about your health history so the plan reflects it.
If several teeth are missing, a different approach, such as a bridge of implants or a full-arch option, may be more practical than one implant per tooth. Your dentist can compare these after imaging.
- Single missing tooth in a good position
- You want to compare brands side by side
- You want the implant, abutment and crown shown as separate lines in your quote
- You would like to discuss guided placement
Procedure and Healing
The steps below show a typical sequence. Timing between steps depends on your bone, your health and whether grafting is needed, so your dentist gives you a schedule for your case.
Local anesthesia is used for placement, and conscious sedation can be added if you are anxious. Your dentist will give written aftercare instructions, and you should contact the clinic if something does not feel right.
Outcomes depend on your case, health and aftercare.
Examination
Your dentist reviews X-rays and 3D imaging.
Placement
The implant is placed with computer guidance under local anesthesia.
Healing
The jaw heals around the implant. The length depends on your case.
Crown
The abutment and implant crown are fitted and adjusted.
