- Why Dental Members International
This is NOT "dental tourism".
This is a coordinated clinical programme.
Every year thousands of Australians travel overseas for dental treatment with no structure, no warranty, and no support when they return. DMI changes that — completely.
Partner clinics with documented experience
Our Seoul partner clinics have performed over 70,000 implant procedures combined. Not a small overseas clinic — established, purpose-built implant facilities
Formal written warranty — DMI Protect+
Every patient receives a written warranty certificate. Defined scope, defined exclusions, clear escalation pathway. Not a verbal promise.
Suitability assessed before you commit
Not every patient is suitable. Our clinical team screens every patient — including a CBCT scan at no cost — before any financial commitment is made.
Zirconia only — no acrylic
Full zirconia bridges only. The same material used in Australian private clinics.
Clinics we have walked through ourselves
A qualified Australian dentist enrolled in your care from day one — before you fly, while you heal, every recall visit for three years after you return.

- About the Journey to Seoul
Approximately 10 hours — similar time zone
Seoul is ~10 hours from Australia's east coast and operates in a very similar time zone. This significantly reduces jet lag and makes recovery more manageable than Europe or the US. Most patients feel rested within a day of arrival.

- Common Questions
Everything you need
to know before you decide.
Is it safe to have implant surgery in Korea?
Our partner clinics have performed over 70,000 implant procedures. Dr Park Jung-chul is the first Asian recipient of the André Schroeder Award – the Nobel Prize of implant dentistry. Every patient also has an Australian clinician monitoring care before, during and after.
What if something goes wrong when I come home?
Every patient receives a formal warranty certificate and 3 years of DMI Protect+. Single implant failures treated locally. Multiple failures: DMI covers your return to Korea and the Korean clinic covers all remediation. Within the documented warranty terms, remediation costs are covered. Full terms provided in writing at consultation
Why two trips? Could there be a third?
What are my payment options?
The DMI Korea Programme is accessed through direct payment or an approved payment plan, subject to credit assessment. Superannuation cannot be used for the Korea pathway — it is a choice-based overseas programme and does not meet the ATO’s criteria for compassionate release. If you are considering an Australian treatment pathway instead, superannuation may be available — this will be discussed separately at your consultation. No financial commitment is made before your full clinical assessment is complete.
How long do the implants and bridge last?
Published peer-reviewed literature reports high long-term survival rates for dental implants in appropriately selected patients. Zirconia bridge longevity varies depending on individual patient factors including bite load, home care compliance and systemic health. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations based on your individual circumstances. Individual outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
What is not included in the program fee?
The DMI Korea Programme fee includes implant surgery, all extractions, provisional teeth on the day of surgery, hotel accommodation for all trips, all airport and clinic transfers, your final full zirconia bridge, written warranty certificate and three years of Australian aftercare under DMI Protect+. The only costs outside the programme fee are your international flights — arranged through Flight Centre and quoted separately — and personal travel expenses. There are no hidden costs. Your full itemised quote is provided in writing before any commitment is made.
Ready to find out if you're eligible?
No commitment. No upfront cost. Just an honest conversation with the DMA clinical team about whether DMI Korea is right for you.
