Full-arch tooth replacement is one of the biggest savings in dental tourism. Here's how All-on-4 works in Korea, what it costs versus the US, and how to plan the two trips.
Replacing a full arch of teeth is life-changing — and in the US it's also one of the most expensive dental procedures there is. All-on-4 (a full arch of fixed teeth on four implants) is a mainstream procedure in Korea, done at high volume for a fraction of US self-pay prices. (For single teeth, see our dental implants guide.)
Instead of one implant per tooth, All-on-4 anchors a full fixed bridge on four implants per arch — often placed at angles to use available bone and avoid grafting. It's for patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, or facing full extraction.
| Procedure | United States | South Korea |
|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 (per arch) | $25,000–$40,000 | $8,000–$14,000 |
| Both arches (full mouth) | $50,000–$80,000 | $16,000–$26,000 |
| Single implant + crown | $4,000–$6,000 | $1,200–$2,200 |

About $8,000–$14,000 per arch in Korea, versus $25,000–$40,000 in the US — so a full mouth (both arches) is roughly $16,000–$26,000.
Two: trip one (7–10 days) for extractions, implant placement, and a temporary bridge; then, after 3–6 months of healing, trip two (5–7 days) for the permanent bridge.
Usually yes — a temporary fixed bridge is often placed the day of surgery, so you don't leave without teeth. The permanent bridge comes on the second trip.

The most common dental decision nobody explains properly — when to save a tooth, when to bridge a gap, and when to implant. Plus what each costs in Korea.
Korean skincare and dermatology went global first. Dental is the fastest-growing category behind them — and it's still small enough that most US patients haven't heard about it.
Clear aligners in Korea cost far less than in the US — but orthodontics takes months, not days. Here's how US patients actually make the timeline work.
