Receding Gum Treatment
Cost, Benefits & Why International Patients Choose Korea
Receding Gum Treatment
- Looking for effective receding gum treatment in Seoul? Our English-speaking dentists provide advanced gum graft surgery, laser gum therapy, and periodontal care for expats and foreigners.
- Receding gums expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity, and affect smile aesthetics. Korea offers advanced, personalized treatments for gum recession—from non-surgical therapies to surgical gum grafting—at globally competitive prices with expert care and precision.
✅ What is Receding Gum?
- Receding gums occur when the gum tissue surrounding your teeth gradually pulls back, exposing the tooth root. This condition not only causes tooth sensitivity but can also increase the risk of cavities, infection, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.
- Common causes include:
- Periodontal disease (gum disease)
- Aggressive tooth brushing
- Genetics and thin gum tissue
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Poor oral hygiene
✅ Gum Recession Treatment Options
- We provide world-class receding gum treatment with the latest technology and English-speaking support for foreigners. Treatments may include:
- Gum Graft Surgery
- A surgical procedure where tissue is taken from the roof of your mouth (or a donor source) and placed over the exposed root.
- This protects the tooth root and restores gumline aesthetics.
- Pinhole Surgical Technique
- A minimally invasive method that repositions existing gum tissue without sutures.
- Faster recovery and less discomfort compared to traditional grafting.
- Laser Gum Therapy
- A modern approach using dental lasers to stimulate gum tissue regeneration.
- Effective in reducing infection and promoting healing.
- Scaling & Root Planing
- Deep cleaning to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gumline.
- Essential for preventing further gum recession progression.

✅ FAQ
- Q1. How do I know if I need receding gum treatment?
If you notice tooth sensitivity, longer-looking teeth, or exposed roots, you may have gum recession. A dentist can confirm the severity and recommend treatment. - Q2. Is gum graft surgery painful?
Local anesthesia is used, so patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may follow, but pain medication and proper aftercare help with recovery. - Q3. How long is the recovery period?
Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks for minor procedures. Full healing from gum graft surgery can take 4–6 weeks. - Q4. Can receding gums grow back naturally?
No. Once gum tissue is lost, it does not regenerate on its own. Professional treatment such as grafting or laser therapy is required. - Q5. What is the cost of receding gum treatment in Seoul?
Prices vary depending on the procedure. Gum graft surgery may cost around ₩500,000–₩1,500,000 per tooth, while laser therapy or scaling treatments are generally less expensive. - Q6. Can foreigners easily get gum treatment in Seoul?
Yes. Many dental clinics in Seoul offer English-speaking staff, clear explanations, and customized treatment plans for foreign patients. - Q7. What happens if I don’t treat receding gums?
Ignoring gum recession can lead to severe sensitivity, root cavities, infections, and even tooth loss. Early treatment prevents complications. - Q8. Are there non-surgical treatments for mild gum recession?
Yes. For early stages, professional cleaning, improved oral hygiene, and lifestyle changes (such as softer brushing and night guards for bruxism) may be enough.
