Standards of a Good Dental Clinic
A dental clinic that actively provides
gum treatment is a good clinic
Why Many Clinics Avoid
Gum Treatment
Higher profit from implants after extraction
Patients dislike gum treatment pain
Concern over complaints if extraction needed later
Low profit compared to time and effort
Why We Insist on
Gum Treatment
Natural tooth preservation is always our top priority
4-Step pain relief anesthesia for comfortable treatment
Specialist collaboration for high success rate
Patient's lifelong dental health comes first
Preserving Natural Teeth
is the Best Treatment
Even if it's a bit uncomfortable, regular gum treatment
to preserve natural teeth is a far
more valuable choice than implants
Isn't Brushing and Scaling
Enough?
Both are very important,
but perfect care is difficult
Brushing
Daily Essential
Can maintain tooth surface cleanliness
Cannot remove tartar
Cannot reach below gum line
Scaling
Annual Essential
Removes supragingival calculus
Prevention and mild treatment
Limited effectiveness for deep areas
Gum Treatment
Additional as Needed
Deep subgingival treatment
Root planing for smooth surfaces
Treats advanced disease
Scaling

Frequently Asked Questions
스케일링만 받으면 충분하지 않나요?
스케일링은 치석 제거의 첫 단계입니다. 하지만 잇몸질환이 진행된 경우, NSK varios 970 같은 특수장비로 잇몸 깊숙한 세균까지 제거하는 정밀 치료가 필요합니다. 6개월 간격으로 잇몸치료를 받으시면 자연치아를 오래 보존할 수 있습니다.
잇몸치료가 아프다던데 괜찮을까요?
걱정하지 마세요. 가글마취, 도포마취, 통증 완화 전동마취기, 신경관마취기까지 4단계 통증완화 시스템을 갖추고 있습니다. 많은 환자분들이 "치과 치료가 이렇게 편할 수도 있구나"라고 놀라워하십니다. 불편함 없이 치료받으실 수 있도록 최선을 다합니다.
얼마나 자주 받아야 하나요?
기본 스케일링은 연 1회(보험 적용), 잇몸치료는 6개월마다 받으시는 것이 이상적입니다. 잇몸 상태가 심한 경우 3개월 간격으로 관리하시면 더욱 효과적입니다. 정기적인 관리로 임플란트 없이도 자연치아를 평생 사용하실 수 있습니다.
보험 적용은 어떻게 되나요?
스케일링은 연 1회 건강보험이 적용됩니다. 잇몸치료가 필요한 경우에는 보험 적용을 받으실 수 있으며, 나누어서 진행됩니다. 자세한 보험 적용 범위는 상담을 통해 안내해드립니다.
왜 다른 치과는 잇몸치료를 안 하려고 하나요?
솔직히 말씀드리면, 잇몸치료보다 임플란트가 수익이 더 좋기 때문입니다. 또한 잇몸치료 후 결국 발치하게 되면 환자분들의 불만이 생길 수 있어 많은 치과가 꺼립니다. 하지만 저희는 자연치아 보존을 최우선으로 하며, 보존과 전문의 협진으로 높은 성공률을 자랑합니다.
