Periodontal health

Healthy gums are the foundation for every beautiful smile.

Bleeding, puffy, or receding gums are early signs of periodontal disease—the leading cause of adult tooth loss. Deep cleaning stops it before it costs you teeth.

Benefits of Deep Cleaning & Gum Disease Treatment

  • Stops bone loss

    Removing bacteria halts the infection that destroys bone around teeth.

  • Fresher breath

    Deep cleaning eliminates a major source of persistent bad breath.

  • Whole-body health

    Gum disease is linked to heart disease and diabetes complications.

  • Protects implants

    Healthy gums are essential before and after implant treatment.

Signs you may need a deep cleaning

Gums that bleed when brushing, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from teeth, loose teeth, or pockets deeper than 4 millimeters. A regular cleaning cannot reach the bacteria that live in deeper pockets.

What to expect, step by step

  1. 1

    Measure

    Gum pocket depths are charted to diagnose disease severity.

  2. 2

    Deep clean

    Numbed, thorough cleaning below the gum line, often in two visits.

  3. 3

    Laser assist

    Laser therapy can reduce bacteria and support healing.

  4. 4

    Maintain

    Periodontal maintenance every three to four months keeps disease in check.

Are you a good candidate?

  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Pocket depths over 4 mm
  • Loose teeth or receding gums
  • Patients preparing for implants

FAQ

Deep Cleaning & Gum Disease Treatment questions, answered

Don't see your question? Ask our AI Smile Guide or call our team—we're happy to help.

Does a deep cleaning hurt?

The area is numbed, so most people feel only pressure. Mild tenderness afterward typically fades in a day or two.

Why can’t I just get a regular cleaning?

Regular cleanings treat above the gum line. When bacteria are in deeper pockets, only a deep cleaning can reach and remove them.
