Osstem implants are published in two versions at The Seoul Dental Clinic: standard at ₩650,000 and premium at ₩800,000. The implant crown is a separate item (PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000 per tooth), and an abutment is added only if your case needs one. Which version fits you depends on your bone, your bite and the tooth being replaced, so the choice is made with your dentist after an examination, not from a price list alone.
Osstem Premium vs Standard
Many people searching for an Osstem implant just want to know which of the two published versions to choose. The clinic lists them at two price points, with the implant crown as a separate item. What the price list does not tell you is how the two versions differ in detail, because that depends on the components chosen for your case.
Rather than guess, ask your dentist to write down what is in the standard quote and what is in the premium quote for your tooth: the crown material, the connecting part between implant and crown, and anything that would be billed separately. Seeing both quotes side by side makes the decision much easier.
Neither version is automatically better for everyone. A straightforward case with healthy bone may be well served by either, and a complicated bite or a visible tooth may be a reason to look more carefully at the premium option. That judgement belongs to the dentist who has seen your scan.
- Ask for both quotes in writing, with the crown material named.
- Ask what is billed separately, such as imaging, bone graft or medication.
- Ask which version your dentist would choose for your own tooth, and why.
| Standard | Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | ₩650,000 | ₩800,000 |
| Implant crown | Separate: PFM ₩350,000 / zirconia ₩450,000 | Separate: PFM ₩350,000 / zirconia ₩450,000 |
| Guided surgery | Ask whether planned for your case | Ask whether planned for your case |
| Difference in components | Ask at consultation | Ask at consultation |
| Bone graft or sinus lift | Separate if needed (sinus lift quoted after CT) | Separate if needed (sinus lift quoted after CT) |

Osstem 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.
An implant is not a single appointment. There is an examination, the placement, a healing period and then the crown, plus check-ups. Having a clinic close to home or work makes those visits easier to fit around a job or school run.
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.
For an Osstem 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, with no lunch break; it is closed on Sundays and open on public holidays.
What Is Included
The Osstem figure is for the implant. On the clinic's schedule the implant, abutment and crown are listed as separate items, so a single tooth is the implant plus an implant crown, for example Osstem standard ₩650,000 plus a zirconia implant crown ₩450,000, which is ₩1,100,000. A custom abutment (₩100,000 / ₩300,000) or zirconia abutment (₩200,000) is added only if needed. Your written quote shows exactly which items your case needs.
Guided placement means the position and angle of the implant are planned on the scan before surgery, and that plan is used during the procedure. The published price list has no separate line for it, so ask whether it is planned for your case.
Some things sit outside the implant figure. A bone graft (₩100K to ₩1M by extent) is separate and only needed when the bone calls for it, and a sinus lift is quoted after CT examination. Imaging such as a CT scan is not a published price, so it is quoted after examination. Extraction of a tooth that has to come out first is also quoted after examination.
- Implant: Osstem standard ₩650,000 or premium ₩800,000.
- Separate: implant crown (PFM ₩350,000 / zirconia ₩450,000); abutment, bone graft or sinus lift when needed.
- Quoted after examination: CT scan, extraction, medication and follow-up items not on the list.
Who It Suits
Osstem sits between MegaGen and Straumann on price. It may suit someone who wants a choice between two levels of implant.
Your dentist looks at bone, bite and tooth position before recommending a version. The table below shows how the main published implant brands compare on price and what the price covers, so you can see where Osstem sits. It is a price comparison, not a ranking of quality.
| Brand | Published price | What the price covers |
|---|---|---|
| MegaGen | ₩350,000 | Implant + PFM crown (crown included) |
| DIO | ₩550,000 | Implant; crown separate |
| Osstem standard | ₩650,000 | Implant; crown separate |
| Osstem premium | ₩800,000 | Implant; crown separate |
| Straumann | ₩1,300,000 | Implant; crown separate |
Published non-covered prices in KRW. Implant crown: PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000 per tooth, separate for all brands except MegaGen. Confirm at consultation.
Procedure and Healing
Every implant journey follows the same broad order, though the length of each stage varies from person to person. Your dentist will give you a schedule for your own case.
Healing is the stage people ask about most. The implant needs time to bond with the bone before it carries a full chewing load, and how long that takes depends on your bone, your general health and whether a graft was needed. Smoking can slow healing, so tell your dentist if you smoke.
Examination
Your dentist checks the tooth area, gums and bite, and reviews imaging to see how much bone is available. Questions about your health and medicines are part of this visit.
Plan and quote
The implant position is planned, the version is chosen, and you receive a written quote that names what is included and what is not.
Placement
The implant is placed using the guided plan, under local anesthesia. You are given aftercare instructions to follow at home.
Healing
The implant integrates with the bone. Healing time varies by case, and you may have a check-up during this period.
Crown
The crown is fitted and the bite is checked. You are shown how to clean around it, and follow-up visits are planned.
Outcomes depend on your case.
Questions to Ask at Your Consultation
A short list of questions helps you leave the consultation with a clear picture. You can send these to the clinic in English before you come, which also helps the team prepare.
Bring any recent dental X-rays or notes from a dentist abroad, plus a list of the medicines you take. If you have overseas insurance, say so at the start, because the clinic states that it supports overseas-insurance paperwork and it is easier to arrange receipts in advance.

What this video covers
Dr. Hyeonjoon Park and Dr. Hyun Sung Park explain why advertised implant prices in Korea vary so widely, saying the main difference is usually what the quoted fee covers rather than the materials. Using a model, they show the three parts of an implant (the fixture or root, the abutment and the crown) and note that clinics once quoted these separately, whereas today they are often bundled. They say bone grafting is added only when a patient's condition requires it, that established Korean implant systems such as Osstem, Dio and Megagen are clinically well documented, and that a full-arch case is a redesign of the whole bite rather than a simple per-implant calculation. Their main advice is to ask why each step is needed and exactly what the quoted price includes.
- An implant has three parts: fixture, abutment and crown; ask which are included in a quote
- Bone grafting is needed only in some cases, and the reason should be explained
- Full-arch treatment depends on bite planning, so it cannot be priced as implants times number
Osstem Implants: frequently asked questions
How much is an Osstem implant?
₩650,000 for standard or ₩800,000 for premium. The implant crown is a separate item (PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000), and the final amount is confirmed at consultation.
What does the premium version add?
The price list shows only the price difference, so your dentist explains what differs for your case at consultation. Ask for both quotes in writing to compare them.
Is the crown included in the Osstem price?
No. The implant crown is a separate item for both versions: PFM ₩350,000 or zirconia ₩450,000 per tooth. Your written quote names the crown material and any abutment.
Is guided surgery included?
Guided or navigation placement can be discussed. The published price list has no separate line for it, so ask whether it is planned for your case and how it appears on your written quote.
Do I need a bone graft before an Osstem implant?
Only if your bone is too thin or soft to hold the implant. A graft (₩100K to ₩1M by extent) is priced separately, a sinus lift is quoted after CT examination, and your scan shows whether you need one.
Is Osstem a Korean brand?
Ask the clinic for brand details at consultation. We do not state manufacturer facts on this page beyond the published prices.
Can I compare it with Straumann?
Yes. A Straumann implant is published at ₩1,300,000, with the implant crown as a separate item. See the Straumann comparison page for the details.
Can I ask questions in English?
Yes. The clinic states that English-language consultation is available, and you can write to us before you visit.
