A front tooth implant has to look right as well as work, so planning matters more than in the back of the mouth. Your dentist looks at the gum line, neighboring teeth and smile before suggesting a plan. Published implant prices start at ₩350,000 (MegaGen implant + PFM crown); for other brands the implant crown is a separate item (PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000). Timing after extraction depends on your case.
Why Front Teeth Need Extra Care
Front teeth are seen every time you smile. The shape of the gum, the color of the crown and the position next to your other teeth all matter.
Because of that, front tooth implants usually involve more planning than back-tooth implants. Your dentist examines the area and explains what is realistic.
In the front of the mouth the bone is often thin, and the gum line of the new tooth has to match its neighbors. A crown that is the right color but sits slightly too long or short is noticeable. The angle of the implant also affects how natural the crown looks, which is one reason careful planning, including guided placement where suitable, matters here.
A good consultation includes a look at your smile line, your neighboring teeth and how much of the gum shows when you smile. Ask your dentist to show you the plan before surgery, not only after.
- Gum shape: the gum around the new tooth should echo its neighbors.
- Color and shape: the crown is matched to your natural teeth.
- Bone: thin bone in the front may need support before or during placement.
- Neighbor teeth: their position affects spacing and symmetry.

Steps for a Front Tooth Implant
The order below is typical. Your own plan may add or remove steps, and the length of each depends on your case.
Examination
Imaging shows bone, root position and the gum line.
Planning
The implant angle and crown shape are planned with the neighboring teeth in mind.
Placement
The implant is placed as planned. Ask whether guided placement is planned for your case and how it appears on your quote.
Temporary and final crown
Ask whether a temporary tooth is suitable while you heal, then the final crown is fitted and the bite checked.
Timing After Extraction
Some cases allow an implant soon after a tooth is removed, and others need the socket to heal first, or a bone graft to rebuild the area (listed at ₩100K to ₩1M). There is no single right answer.
If a tooth is cracked or loose, do not wait to be seen. Your dentist can tell you what can be saved and what cannot.
Extraction itself is quoted after examination since it depends on the tooth. What helps your result is protecting the socket: keep it clean as instructed, avoid pressure, and avoid smoking, which slows healing.
During the healing period you may be concerned about a visible gap. Ask in advance what temporary options exist for your case, since this is something your dentist can plan for rather than improvise.
Crown Options and Published Prices
On the clinic's schedule the implant, abutment and crown are listed as separate items, except MegaGen, which is listed with a PFM crown. For other brands, add an implant crown (PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000), plus a custom (₩100,000 / ₩300,000) or zirconia (₩200,000) abutment if your case needs one. For example, an Osstem standard implant at ₩650,000 plus a zirconia implant crown at ₩450,000 is ₩1,100,000 before any abutment or bone graft.
The table lists the published figures so you can see how the options compare. Which one suits a front tooth is your dentist's call after seeing your smile.
| Option | Published price |
|---|---|
| MegaGen implant + PFM crown (crown included) | ₩350,000 |
| DIO implant (crown separate) | ₩550,000 |
| Osstem standard / premium (crown separate) | ₩650,000 / ₩800,000 |
| Straumann implant (crown separate) | ₩1,300,000 |
| Implant crown, PFM / zirconia (per tooth) | ₩350,000 / ₩450,000 |
| Bone graft | ₩100,000–₩1,000,000 |
Price list as published; confirm at consultation. Abutment: custom ₩100,000 / ₩300,000 or zirconia ₩200,000, only if needed. Your written quote lists exactly which items apply.
Implant, Bridge or Denture?
An implant is not the only way to replace a front tooth. Your dentist can explain the alternatives so you can decide with full information.
| Implant | Bridge | Partial denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Needs neighbor teeth shaped? | No | Usually yes | Sometimes, for clasps |
| Surgery? | Yes | No | No |
| Feels like | A fixed tooth | A fixed tooth | A removable appliance |
| Decided by | Bone, gums, health | Neighbor teeth condition | Preference and fit |
Outcomes depend on your case. Dentures are published at ₩150K to ₩1.8M.
Looking After the Result
Brush and clean around the implant as your dentist shows you, and keep regular check-ups. Outcomes depend on your case and aftercare.
Clean the gum edge gently but thoroughly, and use floss or small brushes between the implant and neighboring teeth. If you grind your teeth, tell your dentist, since a night guard may be advised (price quoted after examination). Report any bleeding, swelling or looseness early.
Questions to Ask at Your Consultation
Bring any earlier X-rays and a photo of your smile before the tooth was lost, if you have one. Ask your questions in English.
A written plan lets you compare choices and understand exactly what the price covers.
- Can the tooth be replaced soon after extraction in my case?
- Will I have a temporary tooth, and what kind?
- Which crown do you suggest for a visible tooth, and why?
- Do I need a bone graft, and what does it cost?
- How many visits will it take, and how far apart?

Front Tooth Implant: frequently asked questions
How much is a front tooth implant?
Published implant prices run from ₩350,000 (MegaGen implant + PFM crown) to ₩1,300,000 (Straumann). For brands other than MegaGen, an implant crown is added (PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000). Your total is confirmed after examination in a written quote.
Will I have a gap while I heal?
Ask about a temporary tooth when you plan. Whether one is suitable depends on your case, and your dentist will explain the options before treatment.
Can the new tooth match my other teeth?
The crown is made to match neighboring teeth in shade and shape as closely as materials allow. Your dentist reviews the result with you.
Do I need a bone graft?
Only if the bone is too thin to support the implant. A graft is published at ₩100K to ₩1M, and your scan shows whether you need one.
How soon after extraction can I have the implant?
It depends on your case. Some cases allow early placement, and others need the socket to heal or a graft first.
Is guided surgery included?
Guided or navigation placement can be discussed, and it helps plan the angle for a front tooth. Ask whether it is planned for your case and how it appears on your written quote.
Is an implant better than a bridge?
Neither is better for everyone. An implant does not need neighbor teeth shaped, while a bridge avoids surgery. Your dentist can explain which fits you.
Can I get advice in English?
Yes. English consultation is available, and you can send questions before you visit.
