At DMA, it’s very important to us that you understand the levels of safety, care, and technology embedded into our DMI Korea programme right from the start, so that you feel comfortable, enjoy the process, and get an excellent dental outcome.
So come with us on a guided video tour…
At Dental Members Australia we’ve always had skilled clinicians and the highest-quality materials for our patients. The local Australian option is always there, and we usually encourage it first.
But complex dentistry can be expensive here. That means some patients can get pigeonholed into extreme costs or nothing.
DMI Korea exists to give those patients a second option, in the safest way possible.
We have made sure that everything is taken care of before sending you overseas.
The materials are the same or better systems that we use in Australia. Our clinicians in Korea meet or exceed our Australian standards. We work with the best.
We give you a local warranty and after-care. When you get back home, you’re taken care of in your local Dental Members Australia clinic, so you always have someone to call on when you need help.
On this page, you’ll meet our senior team members in both Australia and Korea, and take a tour through our Korean partner clinics…
Korea, the high quality alternative
Dr Safa and Dr Nick discuss why they chose Korea for our partner clinics, how the quality held up to Dental Members Australia standards, and how we make the international option completely safe for our patients.
Advanced Korean dental technology
Accuracy in implant surgery depends as much on the technology behind the planning as on the hands doing the work.
Our Clinical Director Dr JC walks through some of the world-class equipment his team uses to complete safe and accurate procedures for our Australian patients.
How we maximise care and safety for Australian patients
Safety is one of the most important parts of our DMI Korea offer. We’ve made sure you’re treated by world-class clinical professionals. The whole experience is seamless. And you have the aftercare support from your local dental members’ clinic in Australia.
Full arch implant treatment
Many of our patients travel to Korea for full arch implant treatment. It is extremely expensive surgery in Australia and relatively cost-effective in Korea.
Clinical Director Dr JC explains his philosophy of full arch implant treatment and how he approaches it for our Australian patients.
Is overseas treatment right for you?
Going to Korea is not the answer for everyone.
There are patients we will NOT encourage to travel, because if a procedure is difficult or more prone to risk it is only realistic to have it managed on home soil.
Start by sharing your Australian quote with us. If DMI Korea may be suitable, we’ll arrange a comparable Korean quote at no cost – so you can make an informed decision with real numbers in front of you.
Safety is at the centre of DMI 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.
Every patient receives a formal warranty certificate and 3 years of DMI Protect+. Either you will will be treated at your local Dental Members Australia clinic. Or, DMI even covers your return to Korea and the Korean clinic covers all remediation if required. Full terms provided in writing at consultation
Two trips is the DMI clinical standard. Trip 1 places implants and fits provisional teeth. After 4–6 months of healing monitored by your Australian dentist, Trip 2 fits the final zirconia bridge – confirming osseointegration first and dramatically reducing complications. For more complex cases, a third trip to Seoul may be recommended by the Korean surgical team. If a third trip is required, hotel accommodation and transfers are covered by DMI. Flights for all trips are arranged by DMI through Flight Centre and paid separately by the patient.
No pressure, no judgement. Just a down-to-earth chat about what’s possible for your smile.
