Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley provides laser deep cleaning — also called laser-assisted periodontal therapy — starting at $150–$350 per quadrant, performed in-house by Dr. Maggie Abadan, DDS, using a Fotona dental laser that precisely removes calculus, tartar, and diseased tissue from below the gumline while leaving healthy tissue intact.
Unlike traditional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), laser therapy causes less bleeding, less discomfort, and results in faster healing. It is particularly effective for patients with moderate to severe gum disease who want an effective treatment with minimal recovery time.

How is laser deep cleaning different from regular deep cleaning in Carmel Valley?
Traditional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) uses manual instruments to scrape calculus and infected tissue from below the gumline. Laser deep cleaning at our Carmel Valley office uses precise Fotona laser energy to remove bacteria and diseased tissue with significantly less bleeding, discomfort, and recovery time. The laser also sterilizes the periodontal pocket as it works, reducing bacterial counts more effectively than manual instruments alone.
Does laser deep cleaning hurt, and how long is recovery?
Local anesthesia is used to numb the area before treatment begins, so patients feel little to no pain during the procedure. Post-treatment soreness is typically mild and lasts only 1–3 days — far less than traditional deep cleaning. There are no stitches, you can return to normal activities the same day, and Dr. Abadan provides detailed aftercare instructions including dietary recommendations and rinses to support healing at our Carmel Valley office.
How many laser deep cleaning sessions will I need?
Most patients at Gentle Dentistry of Carmel Valley require two appointments — one per side of the mouth — scheduled 1–2 weeks apart so each side can begin healing before the other is treated. Dr. Abadan evaluates gum pocket depth and bone health at your initial periodontal exam to recommend the precise number of sessions needed. Patients from Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and the surrounding San Diego area can call (858) 350-7400 to book an evaluation at 4765 Carmel Mountain Rd #205.
