About
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone that serves as the artificial root of a missing tooth. After integrating with the bone over several months, the implant supports a ceramic crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Implants preserve the surrounding jawbone, which gradually resorbs without a tooth to stimulate it. They also avoid grinding down healthy adjacent teeth, which a traditional bridge would require.
At Rodin, our primary implant system is the American-made Hiossen — manufactured by Osstem's U.S. subsidiary in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, FDA-approved and ISO 13485:2016 certified, used in over 30,000 dental practices worldwide. Cases are planned from a 3D CT scan and the surgery is guided by a 3D-printed template generated from the digital plan. Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden/USA) are available as premium alternatives for specific cases on request.

Every dental procedure carries some risk. The points below outline what most patients can expect. Your individual risk profile is discussed in detail during your consultation, and any case-specific considerations are noted in writing as part of your treatment plan.
- Post-operative swelling and discomfort for 3–7 days; managed with prescribed medication.
- Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and certain medications can reduce implant success rates.
- Implant failure is uncommon but possible — most failures are detected within 3–6 months.
- Bone grafting may be required for cases with insufficient bone volume, adding cost and timeline.
- Sinus or nerve proximity in some positions requires additional planning; managed by CT-guided technique.
Not suitable for
- Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions contraindicating surgery.
- Active heavy smokers unable to pause around the surgical phase.
- Patients with insufficient bone where grafting is contraindicated.
Concerns addressed
Common questions from international patients
Will language be a barrier?
No. Our team provides care fully in English, with additional support available in Mandarin, Korean, and Spanish. Treatment plans, consent forms, and aftercare instructions are issued in your preferred language.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Every estimate is issued in writing before treatment begins, with all-inclusive pricing covering consultation, imaging, materials, the procedure itself, and routine follow-up. Anything not included is disclosed explicitly.
What about post-treatment care after I return home?
We provide remote video consultations and written aftercare instructions in your language. If urgent attention is required, we maintain a referral network of trusted clinics in major cities and coordinate directly with your local dentist.
How long do I need to stay in Tokyo?
Stay length depends on the treatment — see the section above for the typical timeline. Your final itinerary is confirmed after the online consultation so flights and accommodation can be planned with confidence.
Common questions
Frequently asked
How much does a dental implant cost in Tokyo?
+
A complete single-tooth implant case at Rodin (body + abutment + crown) costs ¥578,800–¥588,800, depending on the ceramic crown material. Bone grafting (¥189,900) is added only when CT planning confirms it is necessary.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
+
Total treatment time is typically 4–8 months: the implant body is placed in one visit, followed by 3–6 months of osseointegration, then the crown is delivered on a return visit. Most patients require two trips to Tokyo.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
+
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia and most patients describe it as comparable to a tooth extraction. IV sedation is available for anxious patients or multiple-implant cases. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild and managed with prescribed pain relief for 3–7 days.
Can I get a dental implant in one trip to Japan?
+
In most cases, two trips are required: one for implant placement, one for crown delivery after osseointegration. Immediate-load implants (one-trip cases) are possible in select circumstances determined during consultation.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
+
Hiossen implants — our primary system at Rodin — have a long-standing clinical record across more than 30,000 dental practices globally with FDA approval and ISO 13485:2016 certification, and are backed by over 25 years of clinical research and 5 million implants placed worldwide (source: Hiossen Inc. corporate data). For patients who select premium alternatives, Straumann implants have documented success rates above 95% at 10 years in peer-reviewed studies. Long-term outcomes for any system depend on bone health, oral hygiene, and lifestyle factors.
Are dental implants better than a bridge?
+
For a single missing tooth in a healthy mouth, implants preserve the surrounding bone and avoid grinding down adjacent teeth — both significant advantages over a bridge. A bridge may be appropriate when implants are contraindicated; the choice is confirmed during consultation.
Do I need bone grafting?
+
Bone grafting is needed only if CT planning shows insufficient bone volume to support the implant. If required, it is typically performed at the same time as implant placement, adding ¥189,900 to the case fee.
What if my implant fails after I return home?
+
Implant failure is uncommon but typically detected within 3–6 months. Our video follow-ups are designed to catch early signs. If a failure is confirmed, we arrange a return visit and coordinate with a local oral surgeon if interim attention is needed.
Do you accept international credit cards?
+
Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB. Payments are processed in JPY. International transaction fees from your card issuer may apply.
