Korean National Health Insurance Implants — Who Qualifies and What Is Covered
South Korea's National Health Insurance (건강보험) scheme covers partial implant costs for patients aged 65 and over — recognising dental implants as medically necessary for this age group. Under the current structure, NHI pays approximately 70% of the procedure cost for up to 2 implants per patient (lifetime benefit), with the patient contributing approximately 30% as a co-payment.
This coverage applies to Korean nationals enrolled in NHI and registered foreign residents with active NHI membership. Patients must be aged 65 or over at the time of treatment. CS Dental Hospital processes NHI claims directly — patients bring their health insurance card and the clinic handles the paperwork. The same prosthodontist specialist and digital planning used for private implant cases applies to all insurance treatments.
What Is Covered and What Is Not
Covered: Titanium implant fixture, abutment, and porcelain crown for up to 2 sites. CS Dental's specialist care and digital planning. Post-operative care appointments.
Not covered: Bone grafting if required — separate charge. Some CT scan and diagnostic imaging may have additional charges. Full cost breakdown provided at consultation before any treatment begins.
What CS Dental Hospital Offers
Every implant case begins with 3D CT imaging and full prosthodontic assessment.
