Where can I get a single tooth implant in English in Dongdaemun, Seoul?
Dongdaemun SeoulOneTop Dental Clinic places single tooth implants on the 5th floor of 1050 Jegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, a 2-minute walk from Jegi-dong Station Exit 2 on Subway Line 1. One implant supports one crown, so the neighboring teeth do not need to carry the replacement.
Your dentist checks the gap, gums, bite and bone with dental imaging, then explains in English whether the implant can be placed right after extraction or after a healing period, and whether bone grafting is needed first.
Single implant options
Timing and preparation depend on whether the tooth is still present and how much bone is available.
Single Implant with Dental Crown
The most common single tooth implant approach uses one dental implant to support an individual crown.
Immediate Implant Placement
In selected cases, an implant may be placed during the same treatment period as tooth extraction.
Delayed Implant Placement
Some patients may require a healing period after tooth extraction before implant placement.
Bone Grafting Before Implant Placement
If the treatment area does not have sufficient bone volume, bone grafting may be considered before or alongside implant treatment.

Is a single implant better than a bridge?
A single implant replaces the tooth on its own, so the neighboring teeth are not prepared to support it. A bridge relies on the teeth next to the gap. Your dentist compares both for your case. Read about dental bridges.
Can the implant be placed on the same day as the extraction?
In selected cases, yes. This is called immediate implant placement. Other cases need a healing period after extraction before the implant is placed.
What if there is not enough bone?
Bone grafting may be done before or alongside the implant. Read about bone grafting.
When is the final crown attached?
Once healing is sufficient and the implant is stable, the final crown is attached and your bite is checked.
Do the dentists speak English?
Yes. Consultations and treatment explanations are given in English, with support in Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian and Mongolian.
