✅ What is Laser Gum Therapy?

  • Laser gum therapy, also called laser periodontal therapy, is a minimally invasive dental procedure that uses a specialized dental laser to target and remove inflamed gum tissue caused by periodontitis (gum disease). Unlike traditional gum surgery that requires scalpels and stitches, laser therapy offers a gentler approach:
  • The laser precisely removes diseased gum tissue.
  • It disinfects bacteria deep within gum pockets.
  • The energy stimulates natural healing and reattachment of gums to teeth.


✅ Benefits of Laser Gum Therapy

  • Minimally invasive – no scalpel, no sutures.
  • Faster healing & recovery – tissue regenerates naturally.
  • Less pain & bleeding compared to conventional surgery.
  • High precision – only diseased tissue removed, preserving healthy gum.
  • Bacteria elimination – reduces infection risk and promotes healthier gums.
  • Great option for expats – Many Seoul dental clinics provide English-speaking dentists experienced with international patients.

✅ FAQ – Laser Gum Therapy

  • 1. Is laser gum therapy painful?

Most patients experience minimal pain. Local anesthesia is often used, but compared to conventional gum surgery, laser therapy is far more comfortable with less swelling and faster recovery.

  • 2. How many sessions are required?

This depends on the severity of gum disease. Mild cases may be treated in 1–2 sessions, while advanced cases may need several visits for thorough cleaning and healing.

  • 3. Can laser gum therapy stop gum recession?

Laser therapy does not reverse gum recession. However, it removes bacteria and diseased tissue, which stops further gum loss and stabilizes your oral health.

  • 4. How is it different from traditional gum surgery?

Traditional periodontal surgery uses a scalpel to cut the gums, often requiring sutures. Laser therapy avoids cutting and stitches, meaning less discomfort and quicker healing.

  • 5. Is it safe for foreigners in Seoul?

Yes, Seoul dental clinics are highly experienced with international patients. Many clinics provide English consultations, treatment plans, and even insurance documentation support.

  • 6. How long is the recovery time?

Most patients can return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Slight gum sensitivity or bleeding may occur but typically resolves quickly.

  • 7. Can laser gum therapy prevent tooth loss?

Yes – by eliminating infection and encouraging gum reattachment, the treatment can stabilize loose teeth and prevent further bone loss, significantly lowering the risk of tooth extraction.
