What is laser periodontal therapy? It is gum disease treatment in which a dental laser is used alongside deep cleaning to remove infected tissue and reduce bacteria in deep gum pockets, usually with less bleeding and discomfort. At Dentique Dental Clinic in Gangnam the fee depends on how many areas need treatment and is confirmed after a gum examination; scaling starts at β©150,000.
Who benefits from laser therapy?
When gum pockets become deeper than about 4 mm, regular cleaning cannot reach the bacteria. Deep cleaning with laser assistance helps disinfect these pockets and encourages the gums to reattach.
It is used together with — not instead of — thorough mechanical cleaning.
