How Much Does Dental Crown Installation Cost in Republic of Korea?

The cost of dental crown installation in South Korea typically ranges from $500 to $700. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the dentist’s experience, the crown material (zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or full ceramic), and the number of crowns needed. In the United States, the average cost is $2,400 (per ADA). Dental crowns in South Korea are about 75% less than in the U.S.

South Korean clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op evaluation, digital X-rays, temporary and final crown placement, local anesthesia, post-op medication, follow-up visits, and 24/7 patient support. In the U.S., the price often covers only the crown and placement, with separate fees for X-rays, anesthesia, and follow-up care. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
