Material: Titanium implant (body + abutment) with a screw-retained single-layered zirconia crown; bone graft material and membrane (GBR)
Period: Approx. 5 months (two surgical phases)
Visits: Multiple visits over ~5 months (two surgical phases)
Cost: Self-pay total ¥868,600 (incl. tax). Breakdown: extraction ¥99,900 + implant body ¥299,900 + bone grafting (GBR) ¥189,900 + implant abutment ¥99,000 + zirconia crown ¥179,900. The custom healing abutment, provisional crown, and precision impression performed during treatment are included.

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.
GBR (bone regeneration) uses bone graft material and a membrane; healing times vary between individuals.
Smoking and systemic conditions (e.g. diabetes) may affect the outcome.
A second surgical phase and a return visit after approximately 3–5 months are required to place the final restoration.
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.
