Material: Two titanium implants (body + abutment) supporting a 3-unit single-layered (monolithic) zirconia bridge
Period: Approx. 3 months

Cost: Self-pay total ¥1,297,700 (incl. tax). Breakdown: implant body ¥299,900 × 2 + implant abutment ¥99,000 × 2 + 3-unit single-layered zirconia bridge ¥499,900.

Risks & side effects

Implant placement is a surgical procedure; post-operative swelling, bruising, and discomfort may occur.
In rare cases osseointegration (bone-implant fusion) may not proceed as expected, potentially requiring removal of the implant.
Adequate bone volume is required; bone grafting may be necessary in some cases.
Smoking and systemic conditions (e.g. diabetes) may affect the outcome.
Treatment spans multiple visits over several months while the implants heal before the final bridge is placed.
Prosthetic components have a finite lifespan and may need maintenance or replacement in the future.
This is an elective, privately billed (self-pay) treatment, not covered by Japanese national health insurance.
