How much does sleep implant actually cost in Butyeong-gu?
The first thing you search for before a dental consultation is the cost. To give you the bottom line, the non-covered implant procedure cost in Butyeong-gu is approximately 500,000 to 1.8 million won per tooth, and conscious sedation (sleep treatment) costs approximately 100,000 to 300,000 won or more per session and is calculated separately.
According to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service's Non-covered Medical Cost Information, the lowest non-covered implant prices in the Incheon area start from 290,000 won, but excluding advertisement-based lowest prices, the actual procedure costs are formed in the 1 million to 1.8 million won range. Additionally, according to implant-related guidelines, the average single implant procedure cost in Korea as of 2026 is calculated at approximately 1.39 million won.
However, these figures are merely reference points. The actual total cost may vary depending on tooth condition, whether bone grafting is needed, materials used, and the number of conscious sedation applications. Therefore, confirming a personalized estimate after detailed examination (panoramic and CBCT) is the starting point.
💡 At a Glance
• Implant body procedure cost: Approximately 500,000 to 1.8 million won (per tooth, non-covered)

• Additional items such as bone grafting and CT may be calculated separately
Why Sleep Implant Costs Are High — Understanding the Conscious Sedation Structure
While the term 'sleep implant' may sound familiar, the precise medical term is Conscious Sedation. Unlike complete general anesthesia, this method suppresses anxiety and pain responses while maintaining consciousness, and implant procedure costs and sedation anesthesia costs are each calculated separately.
According to Doctor Now Dentist Medical Q&A, conscious sedation is classified as a non-covered item and prices vary by hospital. Sleep anesthesia costs are charged separately from implant costs. Because specialized personnel, real-time monitoring equipment, and reversal drug systems are necessary, costs inevitably form higher than general local anesthesia.
Checking the following items before consultation will make cost comparison much easier.
• Implant body procedure cost (whether fixture, abutment, and crown are included)
• Cost per conscious sedation session and number of applications
• Whether CT (CBCT) imaging is charged separately
• Additional treatment costs such as bone grafting (bone graft) and PRF
• Whether post-treatment care and warranty period are included
In clinical cases, when additional treatments such as bone grafting or PRF are included, the overall cost is known to change significantly. It is important to develop a habit of transparently confirming itemized estimates.
Now dental clinic's Sleep Implant Approach — Together with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Specialists
When considering sleep implants, who performs the procedure and in what environment is as important as cost. According to clinical data, conscious sedation must be conducted in an environment equipped with real-time monitoring by trained medical professionals and a reversal drug system, and the specialist qualifications of the surgical director directly impact safety.
The table below shows key items to check when choosing sleep implants.
| Confirmation Item | Check Point |
|---|---|
| Surgeon qualifications | Whether specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery |
| Sedation monitoring | Whether real-time vital sign monitoring equipment is equipped |
| Reversal drug system | Whether emergency response protocol exists |
| Digital precision | Whether 3D CBCT and digital guided surgery are applied |
| Complex treatment capability | Whether bone grafting and conservative treatment can be performed simultaneously |
Now dental clinic is staffed with specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery and conservative dentistry, enabling application of conscious sedation (sleep treatment) throughout the entire treatment process from 3D digital implants. By conducting implant surgery and sedation management within the same specialist system, you can consider both treatment consistency and safety.
Things You Must Confirm Before Procedure
Sleep implant cannot be received immediately on the day without preparation. Check the following checklist in advance.
• Confirm health insurance coverage eligibility
According to National Health Insurance Service criteria, patients aged 65 and over with partial edentulism are eligible for health insurance coverage on up to 2 implants for life (30% out-of-pocket). Starting in 2026, zirconia crowns have been expanded to the coverage scope, so if you fall in this age group, you must definitely confirm coverage eligibility first.
• Disclose chronic diseases and medications
According to related clinical data, those with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and kidney disease must disclose all medications being taken to medical staff before conscious sedation. If you are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners), adjustment may be needed before surgery.
• Fasting and guardian accompaniment on procedure day
In clinical cases, at least 8 hours of fasting before procedure is recommended, and guardian accompaniment and self-driving prohibition are mandatory on the procedure day. This is due to safety concerns from residual sedative effects.
• Confirm need for bone grafting in advance
Whether bone grafting is needed cannot be determined accurately before CT examination. If bone grafting is required, total costs and treatment duration will change, so you must definitely confirm this during consultation.
• Confirm entire non-covered item estimate in writing
According to Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service Non-covered Medical Cost Information criteria, it is good to confirm the entire estimate in writing including material types, treatment scope, warranty, and post-treatment care.
Those living near Butyeong Station, Gyesan-dong, and Sangok-dong, as well as those in the Bucheon area looking into sleep implants or conscious sedation, can visit for consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How much more does it cost to receive implants with sleep in Butyeong-gu?
Conscious sedation costs are charged separately from implant procedure costs, and it is known to add approximately 200,000 to 300,000 won or more per session. Depending on sedation time and hospital policy, it may vary, so we recommend confirming itemized estimates in writing during consultation.
Q2. Is there a difference in treatment results between sleep implants and regular implants?
Conscious sedation is a method to reduce anxiety and pain responses during the procedure, and has no direct relationship with the implant treatment results themselves. However, you can undergo treatment without tension, making it advantageous to perform complex treatments at once and helpful in reducing the number of visits.
Q3. If I am 65 years old or older, is health insurance applied to sleep implants as well?
Health insurance applies to the implant procedure itself (fixture, crown, etc.), while conscious sedation (sleep treatment) is a separate non-covered item. If you are 65 or older, you can receive health insurance benefits (30% out-of-pocket) covering up to 2 implants for life regarding implant body costs, but sleep sedation costs are charged separately.
Q4. Are there any precautions on the day of sleep (conscious sedation) implant procedure?
At least 8 hours of fasting is required before the procedure, and guardian accompaniment is mandatory on the procedure day. Self-driving is prohibited while sedation effects remain, so plan your transportation in advance. If you are taking any medications, you must notify medical staff in advance.
Q5. Does sleep implant cost change significantly if bone grafting is needed?
Whether bone grafting is needed is determined based on CT examination results, and additional costs occur depending on bone graft material type and scope. If bone grafting is involved, treatment duration may also be extended, so it is good to first check bone condition during consultation and establish an overall cost plan.
