Treatment Costs and Written Estimates
Your exact treatment cost is decided after examination. Before treatment begins you receive a written treatment plan and cost estimate in Korean won, including VAT — and no additional treatment is performed without explanation and your consent.
What decides the cost
Number of teeth
How many teeth are treated is usually the biggest factor.
Complexity
Inflammation, bone condition and the difficulty of the procedure.
Materials
Implant brand and crown or veneer material affect the price.
Bone grafting
Needed only when the bone is not sufficient for an implant.
Additional tests
CT scans or other diagnostics beyond the standard examination.
Sedation
Sedation, when requested and suitable, is a separate item.
Laboratory work
Custom restorations made in our in-house laboratory.
Number of visits
Your schedule and treatment plan determine how many visits are needed.
Your written estimate
- Provided before treatment begins, after examination
- Lists the treatment, the teeth involved, expected visits and duration, materials or brands, warranty conditions and aftercare
- Currency: Korean won (KRW), VAT included
- Diagnostic fees, CT scans, temporary teeth and medication may be charged separately — anything that applies is stated in writing beforehand
- Exchange rates change; the estimate is fixed in KRW
