At Etoile de Seoul Dental Clinic
I am Dr. Lee Jang-wook,
and I have been providing implant treatment
for more than 20 years.
Today, many of those who opened this post after visiting several dental clinics are probably wondering why Novon Arch implant prices differ so much from one clinic to another.
Some clinics quote surprisingly low prices, while others quote much higher amounts, leaving you wondering, “Is everything more expensive necessarily better? If it is cheap, is something missing?”
In the treatment room, I also very often meet people who ask, “Aren’t implants all pretty similar? There are so many brands, and I don’t know what the differences are.”
Today, I would like to explain the reasons behind the differences in cost one by one, in the hope of easing some of that uncertainty.

❗Curious about the Novon Arch surgical process?❗

Novon Arch,
let me start by explaining what kind of treatment it is

Novon Arch is a full-arch treatment option for people who have significant loss of jawbone or very few teeth remaining.
Rather than placing an implant for every individual tooth, the entire upper or lower arch is supported by four or five to six implants. It is similar to building a large bridge: instead of placing many closely spaced pillars, several strong pillars are positioned at locations that can bear weight well, with their angles carefully calculated.

For this reason, even people who have postponed implants because they were told they lacked sufficient bone may often be able to explore possible options.
This is a treatment that is especially sought by people who have worn dentures for a long time and have been unable to enjoy even their favorite foods because their dentures repeatedly become loose or come out.
I have spent many years seeing in the treatment room how people become self-conscious at meals and cover their mouths with their hands when they smile. That is why I believe this treatment is not simply about replacing a few teeth, but about helping people regain the everyday ability to chew and converse comfortably.


Even when they have the same name, the details inside are different
This is the first point where Novon Arch implant prices begin to differ.
Although they may all appear to be full-arch treatments, costs vary depending on whether the implant fixtures placed inside are genuine products and what material is used to make the prosthesis placed on top.
We carefully recreate the gum line with pink porcelain and make the teeth from zirconia so that they blend naturally, like your original teeth. Materials may not be readily visible, but since the prosthesis is something you will use for a long time, the choice of material ultimately affects how long it can be used and how comfortable it feels.

Differences also arise in the diagnostic and preparation process
Second, the preparation process before surgery is also reflected in the Novon Arch implant price.
We use 3D CT, an intraoral scanner, and a DIO navigation guide to check the shape of the bone and the location of the nerves in advance before creating a treatment plan.
It may help to think of it as the difference between making a guess from a single photograph and deciding on a route while looking at a three-dimensional map. The more thorough this preparation is, the more work it requires, but it can also help reduce unexpected variables.
Another factor that may be included in the cost is the process of placing a temporary prosthesis on the day of surgery so that you do not have to spend time without teeth, as well as care through to the final prosthesis.


Why choosing based only on the lowest price can leave you disappointed
When a Novon Arch implant price is quoted unusually low, be sure to check whether something is missing from the materials, the scope of diagnosis, or follow-up care.
On the other hand, a higher price does not necessarily mean the treatment is better.
What matters is whether you can understand and accept answers to questions such as: “Is this plan suited to the condition of my jawbone?” “What materials are being used, and why?” and “How will care continue after treatment?”
When you compare only the price in front of you, it is easy to overlook the materials and care items that you will rely on for a long time. Those details can ultimately affect your comfort several years later. For reference, we provide related treatment at no charge within three years for patients who received treatment here, in an effort to ease the burden of follow-up care, even if only slightly.

The dentist personally answers questions frequently asked in the treatment room
First, we receive many questions such as, “Why is there such a large difference in price from one clinic to another?”
The main reason is that the implant fixtures, prosthetic materials, and diagnostic and care processes differ from one clinic to another.
I often explain that it is similar to clothing: even if two items look alike, their prices can differ if the fabric and stitching are different.
People also ask, “Is it cheaper if fewer implants are used?” Since this method supports one arch with four or five to six implants, the cost depends less on the number itself than on the condition of the jawbone and the treatment plan.
Rather than reducing the number of implants unnecessarily, determining the number according to each person’s anatomy can help ensure long-term use.

“Can I receive the treatment even if I am older?” is another concern we often hear.
This is a treatment that people who find it difficult to visit the clinic several times because of their age may actually consider. However, individual differences exist depending on overall health, so a detailed diagnosis, including CT imaging, is needed first.
Finally, when asked, “How long will they last once they are placed?” I explain that it varies depending on care and regular checkups, but many people continue to use them for a long time when they maintain brushing and regular examinations as they would with natural teeth.



In closing, I would like to say that it is difficult to judge whether a Novon Arch implant price is good or bad based on a single number.
You should also consider what materials, planning, and post-treatment time are included so that you are less likely to regret your decision. Since you may have been putting off treatment for a long time, I hope you take the time to learn enough before deciding, so that you can chew and smile comfortably again.
