Maggok Station Dental Clinic_“The Secret to Getting Clean Without Feeling Burdened” [ 5. Airflow Scaling Price and Health Insurance Coverage ]

Hello,

This is Magok Seoul Dia Dental Clinic, here to protect your dental health.

We’ve already reached the end of August together.

Did you make it through the long, hot summer well?

There were probably days when you felt worn out by the scorching sun, and days when the damp air of the rainy season made even your mood feel soggy.

Still, to everyone who kept going day by day, you did a great job.

But summer is not over yet.

They say the late-summer heat will continue for a while into September as well.

So we’d like to say this to our patients:

Please don’t just take care of your overall health—don’t neglect your oral health, either.

Just as daily life is enjoyable when your whole body is strong,

you can smile freely and enjoy food when your teeth and gums are healthy.

Today, we’d like to talk about something many people are curious about: scaling.

In particular, we’ll honestly cover the price of the increasingly popular Airflow scaling and whether health insurance applies.

You’ve probably already heard that Airflow is good.

It causes less pain and removes stains well, so it’s naturally appealing.

But you may also be thinking:

“Okay, I get that it’s good, but what if it’s expensive?”

That concern is completely understandable.

So in today’s post, we’ll give you an honest answer about whether Airflow scaling is really a treatment that feels burdensome,

and how insurance coverage works.

How much does Airflow scaling cost?

First, let’s organize the cost 기준 for general scaling.

1. Covered (insurance-applied) scaling

• Adults aged 19 and older can receive insurance benefits once a year

for about KRW 15,000 to 20,000 (based on out-of-pocket payment).

2. Non-covered (insurance-not-applied) scaling

If you exceed the insurance limit or are not eligible for insurance coverage,

the typical non-covered cost at a dental clinic is about KRW 60,000 to 100,000 on average.

Then what about Airflow?

Prices vary a little by clinic,

but at our Magok Dia Dental Clinic, we provide it at the same cost as regular scaling

to reduce the burden on patients.

In other words, whether insurance applies or not, there is no additional charge,

and you can receive it at the same price, which is a major advantage.

Also, Airflow is not just for removing tartar;

it is excellent at removing stains caused by coffee, black tea, wine, and smoking,

so you can experience a more upgraded scaling effect.

Can Airflow scaling be covered by health insurance?

“Then is Airflow covered by insurance too?”

Many people ask this.

The answer is “Yes, it is possible.”

Airflow scaling uses different equipment and methods,

but since its ultimate purpose is the same—removing plaque biofilm and tartar from the tooth surface—

it can receive the same health insurance coverage as regular scaling.

Adults aged 19 and older are covered once a year,

and for patients with periodontal disease, the insurance coverage can be expanded along with additional treatment items.

In other words, even if you choose Airflow, the insurance benefits still apply!

There’s no need to worry about the cost.

To summarize for patients:

1. Non-covered cost: average KRW 60,000 to 100,000 (when insurance does not apply)

2. Dia Dental Clinic policy: Airflow provided at the same cost as regular scaling

3. Effect: reduced pain and sensitivity, with enhanced stain removal

4. Feature: depending on oral condition, ultrasound, manual scalers, and Airflow are appropriately combined → customized scaling with the highest satisfaction provided

Scaling is not just about cleaning the tooth surface,

it is an essential part of maintaining gum health and preventing cavities and periodontal disease.

And now, a way to make that process

more comfortable, fresher, and more whitening-effective

is Airflow scaling.

please be sure to take care of your overall health and oral health as the heat continues into September.

Dia Dental Clinic will always be by your side.
