Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
When gums are inflamed or pulling away from the teeth, a deep cleaning removes buildup below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces so the gums can heal.
Can help with
- Bleeding or puffy gums
- Buildup below the gumline
- Early to moderate gum disease
What to expect
1
Measure
Your dentist checks the depth of the pockets around each tooth.
2
Deep clean
We clean below the gumline, often one section of the mouth at a time, with numbing for comfort.
3
Re-check
A follow-up visit shows how your gums are healing and sets your maintenance plan.
Every mouth is different. Your dentist will explain your options, timing and any costs before treatment.
Questions
Does it hurt?
We numb the area so you stay comfortable. Some tenderness for a day or two afterward is common.
