About
Deep Cleaning
A deep cleaning is a non-surgical periodontal treatment designed for patients showing early to moderate signs of gum disease. Unlike a routine cleaning, which focuses on the visible surfaces of your teeth, a deep cleaning targets plaque and tartar that have built up below the gumline. Our hygienist carefully removes these deposits through scaling, then smooths the tooth roots through planing — helping your gums reattach to your teeth and reducing the pockets where bacteria thrive. It’s the most effective way to halt gum disease before it progresses into something far more serious.

Common Questions
Do I really need a deep cleaning?
If your hygienist has detected gum pockets deeper than 4mm, bleeding gums, or tartar below the gumline, a deep cleaning may be recommended. The dental team can review your findings and explain whether scaling and root planing is appropriate for you.
Does a deep cleaning hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort because local anesthesia is used to help keep the procedure comfortable. Sedation options may also be available for patients with dental anxiety or sensitive gums.
How long does a deep cleaning take?
A deep cleaning is typically completed over one or two visits, depending on the amount of buildup and the extent of gum disease. Each visit usually takes approximately 60–90 minutes.
How much does a deep cleaning cost?
The cost depends on your individual treatment needs. <a href=”https://palmcitydentalarts.com/”>Palm City Dental Arts</a> accepts most insurance plans, and many plans may cover deep cleaning as a periodontal treatment. The office can provide a personalized cost estimate.
