How Much Does Prosthesis of a tooth Cost in Republic of Korea?

Prosthesis of a tooth in the Republic of Korea typically costs from $900 to $1,900. Total costs depend on the material used, the number of units, and clinic location. Patients save around 69% compared to the US, where similar dental work costs $4,500 on average. Standard procedures usually include the prosthetic manufacture, professional fitting, and follow-up adjustments.

  • Material selection: Zirconia and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) options vary in durability and aesthetic quality.
  • Technology premiums: Same-day crowns using 3D-modeling and in-house milling typically costs about 20-30% more.
  • Geographic location: Medical hubs include Seoul, Daegu, and Anyang, with Gangnam districts often charging higher rates.
  • Ancillary procedures: Preparatory work like bone grafting or sinus lifts adds to the base installation price.
