Periodontal disease treatment price | How much does gum treatment cost?

Medically reviewed by Pia Slana, dentist · Last updated: July 2026

Do your gums often bleed when you brush your teeth? Do your teeth feel slightly loose, are your gums receding, or does the stinging when you eat and drink keep getting worse? These can be signs of periodontal disease, better known as periodontitis. It is a chronic, usually painless condition that quietly destroys the tissue supporting your teeth and cannot be reversed without a dentist’s help. Left untreated, it leads to loose teeth, tooth loss and has been linked to serious general health problems. Acting early protects both your health and your budget. Wondering what the price of periodontal disease treatment is? You will find the answers below.

Price of the periodontal examination and pocket measurement

The first step in treating periodontitis is a thorough periodontal examination. It includes measuring the depth of the periodontal pockets, which shows how far the disease has progressed. The measurements are taken with a special probe and are usually painless. A specialist periodontal examination costs €120.00, and it is normally included in the wider diagnostics and the planning of further treatment.

Scaling and root planing

When the periodontal pockets become too deep for a toothbrush to reach, a professional procedure – scaling and root planing – is needed. The dentist carefully removes plaque and bacteria from the surface of the tooth roots, which stops further inflammation and lets the tissue heal.

At OrthoDental this procedure costs €150.00 per quadrant, while treating a smaller area costs €30.00 for scaling and root planing of a single root or tooth.

Several visits are usually needed to treat the whole mouth. The procedure is generally not painful, and for sensitive patients it is carried out under local anaesthesia. It is an essential step: once the bacteria are removed, the tissue can begin to regenerate. The gum reattaches to the tooth, inflammation settles, breath improves and the disease slows down.

Laser therapy of periodontal tissues

Do you feel anxious about dental procedures and instruments? Especially in advanced periodontitis, laser therapy is an excellent choice, because it removes bacteria from the periodontal pockets precisely, painlessly and very effectively. The laser reduces inflammation, encourages tissue regeneration and shortens healing time.

At OrthoDental, laser therapy of the periodontal tissues (disinfection) – a session of about 30 minutes – costs €230.00.

The advantage of the laser is that it is precise, does not damage healthy tissue, does not hurt and allows faster healing.

Flap surgery

In the most severe cases, when the periodontal pockets are too deep to clean any other way, a surgical solution – flap surgery – is required. The surgeon lifts the gum, cleans the roots and the inflamed tissue, and then sutures the gum back in place.

The price of flap surgery at OrthoDental depends on the extent of the procedure: treating a whole sextant costs €360.00, while surgery on a single tooth costs €260.00.

So how much does periodontal disease treatment cost?

The total cost depends on the severity of the disease, the number of teeth affected, the therapies chosen and how you respond to treatment. In practice, the total price usually ranges between €300 and €1,500, and can be higher if the treatment is more extensive.

Remember that this is a long-term investment in your health: treating periodontitis in good time prevents more serious consequences, including tooth loss.
