Dental implant, wisdom tooth extraction and sedation costs in Hannam-dong, Seoul — what decides the fee at 1983 SAM Dental Clinic

1983 SAM Dental Clinic · Updated 2026-11-09

In Hannam-dong, the cost of dental implants and wisdom tooth extraction is set per patient after examination: an implant fee depends on bone grafting or a sinus lift, the implant and crown materials, and what the estimate includes; a wisdom tooth fee depends on how deeply the tooth is impacted, whether 3D CT is needed and whether sedation is added. 1983 SAM Dental Clinic (+82-2-793-0455) explains the itemized cost with your treatment plan after diagnosis, and its non-covered fees are posted in the clinic.

What dental implants, wisdom tooth extraction and sleep dentistry cost in Hannam-dong depends on your diagnosis, not on a single list price. How each fee is built up at 1983 SAM Dental Clinic (Yongsan-gu, Seoul), which items National Health Insurance may cover, and how to compare estimates.

Dental implant cost — what changes it

  • Bone — whether a bone graft or sinus lift is needed because the jawbone is too thin.
  • Materials — the implant fixture, abutment and final crown.
  • What is included — 3D CT diagnosis, extraction, temporary teeth and the final crown may each be included or charged separately.
  • Follow-up — whether regular check-ups after placement are part of the plan.

Wisdom tooth extraction cost — what changes it

  • Position — a tooth that has come in straight is simpler than one lying sideways or buried in the gum or bone (impacted).
  • Imaging — the position is checked on a panoramic X-ray, and a 3D CT is added when the roots may be close to the lower jaw nerve.
  • Number — whether one tooth or several are removed in the same visit.
  • Sedation — conscious sedation, if you choose it, is a separate item from the extraction itself.

Sleep dentistry (sedation) cost — billed as its own item

Sedation is usually charged separately from the treatment done under it. Its cost depends on the sedative and whether TCI (target-controlled infusion) equipment is used, and on how long sedation has to be maintained — longer treatment means longer sedation.

Because several treatments can sometimes be grouped into one sedation visit, it is worth comparing the cost of the whole plan rather than one visit. How much can safely be done at once is decided at the pre-treatment assessment.

Covered and non-covered items

In Korea some dental items are covered by National Health Insurance and others are non-covered (paid in full). Coverage differs by treatment and sedation method, so ask for each item to be marked covered or non-covered. For example, adults aged 19 and over can have one insured scaling a year.

Non-covered fees are set by each clinic. At 1983 SAM Dental Clinic the list of non-covered fees is posted in the clinic, and your own estimate is given with your treatment plan after the examination.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Does 1983 SAM Dental Clinic publish fixed prices for implants or wisdom tooth extraction?
A. No online list price is given, because the fee depends on your bone, the number and position of teeth and whether sedation is used. Non-covered fees are posted inside the clinic, and your itemized estimate is explained with the treatment plan after diagnosis. Call +82-2-793-0455 to book a consultation.
Q. Does sleep dentistry in Hannam-dong cost extra on top of the treatment?
A. Usually yes — sedation is a separate item from the extraction, implant or other treatment done under it, and its cost depends on the sedation method and how long it lasts. Ask for the treatment fee and the sedation fee to be shown separately.
Q. Is dental treatment in Hannam-dong covered by Korean National Health Insurance?
A. Some items are and some are not, depending on the treatment and the sedation method, and on your own insurance status. Ask at the consultation which items in your plan are covered and which are non-covered.
Q. How can I find an affordable dental clinic in Hannam-dong?
A. Compare like with like: an estimate that includes diagnosis, bone grafting, the final crown and follow-up is not comparable with one that covers placement only. Ask each clinic for an itemized estimate with covered and non-covered items marked, and check whether a lower total leaves items out. Treatment fees are not a measure of quality, and the right plan depends on your diagnosis.
