How Much Does Gum surgery Cost in Republic of Korea in AUD?

Gum surgery in the Republic of Korea typically costs between AUD $1,000 and AUD $2,300. Prices vary based on the surgical technique, sedation needs, and the number of treatment areas. In Australia, similar procedures cost around AUD $3,400 on average. Patients can save approximately 50% by travelling to South Korea. Quotes generally include the initial consultation, 3D CT imaging, and local anaesthetic.

  • Gingivectomy: AUD $500 to AUD $1,200 for removal of excess gum tissue.
  • Plastic of gingival recession: AUD $640 to AUD $1,600 to repair receding gums.
  • Apically repositioned flap: AUD $500 to AUD $1,100 for pocket reduction.
  • Laser gum treatment: typically costs 30-40% less than traditional surgical flap methods.
  • Gum grafting: often attracts a 20-30% premium due to materials and complexity.

Verified review.
Set aside more money for the treatment than is stated. Taxes were added on top at the clinic, and the dental cleaning also costs extra. I ended up with additional costs of around $100.
It was very easy to book the appointment, and on the day of the treatment everything went really quickly. Within an hour, my teeth were beautifully whitened.
One negative aspect was the lack of transparency regarding the costs. The description of the treatment suggested that, for $370, you would receive three sessions of bleaching plus a professional teeth clean. However, when I got there, I had to pay extra for the teeth cleaning, and on top of that, a hefty amount of tax was suddenly added to the total price, which meant the whole thing ended up costing nearly $100 more. Fortunately, I don’t trust anything, so I’d already factored in additional costs when planning my budget. Even so, it would be nice to be able to estimate the costs in advance.
