Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing) in Guardians Dental Clinic
About the clinic
Deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, at Guardians Dental Clinic in Seoul helps treat gum disease and maintain oral health. The clinic is located in the Myeongdong district and features specialists certified by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. This procedure uses digital equipment and specialized expertise to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line.
Expert Periodontal Care
Deep cleaning at this facility is handled by the periodontology department. Dr. Lee Changmin leads the team with over 20 years of experience in gum health. Dr. Lee Changmin is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and holds a license to practice in Texas, USA. He earned his Master of Science in Periodontics from Loma Linda University in the United States. His background allows him to manage complex cases of gingivitis and periodontitis with high precision.
Advanced Cleaning Methods
The clinic uses specific tools to make deep cleaning more comfortable and effective. These technologies help the dental team treat the roots of the teeth without causing unnecessary irritation. The following equipment is used during the procedure:
- Water lasers to reduce physical stress on the gums during the treatment.
- Digital scalers (Combi Touch) for a gentler scaling process compared to traditional tools.
- Q-ray CAM to detect plaque that might be missed by the naked eye.
- Low-dose 3D CT imaging to get a detailed view of the bone and tooth structures before starting.
Patient Comfort and Safety
For patients who feel anxious or require longer sessions, the clinic offers conscious sedation. Medical staff monitor blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen levels throughout the entire process. The facility maintains hospital-grade safety using MELAG Class B sterilization systems. Every patient receives a set of instruments that is individually packaged and verified for cleanliness. This strict protocol meets the standards of the Korean Dental Association.

Dental Specialties and Digital Workflow
The clinic uses an all-digital workflow for faster refinements and same-day options. An in-house digital lab allows precise fabrication of crowns and veneers. This setup gives doctors control over the entire design and fitting process.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Veneers
The DIAlami system provides ultra-thin veneers with minimal or no tooth reduction. Many cases are completed in just two visits. Doctors use digital smile analysis to match veneers to the lip line and facial shape. For patients with discoloration, Guardians Pro Whitening uses high-intensity Blue LED light. This procedure can achieve visible results in a single one-hour session.
Implants and Restorative Care
DIAplant solutions focus on restoring chewing function after multiple tooth losses. Surgeons use surgical guides and 3D imaging to ensure stable occlusion. For patients who feel anxiety during surgery, the clinic provides monitored conscious sedation. Vital signs like oxygen saturation and blood pressure are tracked throughout these procedures.
Digital Orthodontics
The DIAalign program uses precision digital planning for clear aligners and braces. It treats various conditions to improve bite function and facial aesthetics:
- Severe Class II malocclusion
- Crowded or unevenly aligned teeth
- Anterior crossbites and underbites
- Interdental gaps and high canines
After orthodontic treatment, the clinic provides custom retainers and long-term maintenance guidance.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
The clinic operates a dedicated Digital Center for accurate diagnosis. Specialists use low-dose 3D CT imaging to map bone structure while minimizing radiation. 3D intraoral scanners replace traditional putty impressions for better patient comfort. CAD/CAM milling machines and 3D printers allow immediate prosthetic fabrication.
Diagnostic tools available at the center include:
- Cone Beam CT scans
- Panoramic X-rays
- Q-ray CAM for plaque detection
- Implant stability measurement devices
Water lasers and digital scalers reduce physical stress on gums during treatments.
International Patient Support
The clinic provides concierge-style guidance for patients traveling from abroad. An English-speaking team manages coordination from the first inquiry. Online consultations are available, with the team responding to records and photos within 24 business hours. Preliminary recommendations include an estimated timeline and price range for travel planning.
International patients receive travel-aware scheduling for follow-up care. Fitting checks are arranged flexibly within the patient's stay in Seoul. The clinic also offers optional airport pickup and local transportation guidance. After treatment, patients receive detailed maintenance instructions for the first 24 hours and long-term habits.
