Gum health is often easy to overlook—until it starts to impact your entire smile. If you’ve noticed bleeding while brushing, persistent bad breath, or tender or swollen gums, it may be time for more than a standard cleaning.
At our Shavano Park practice, we offer dental deep cleanings that go beyond the surface to stop gum disease in its tracks and protect your oral and overall health. You deserve a clean, healthy smile, and we’re here to help you achieve it with care, comfort, and expertise you can trust.
Dental deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a specialized treatment designed to treat early to moderate gum disease. Unlike a routine dental cleaning, which focuses on removing plaque and tartar from the visible surfaces of your teeth, a deep cleaning goes deeper, literally.
This non-surgical treatment is one of the most effective ways to halt the progression of gum disease and prevent more serious issues, such as bone loss, tooth mobility, or even tooth loss.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is more common than many people realize, and it can be a stealthy condition. In its early stages, you might only notice minor bleeding or irritation. But as it progresses, it can affect the bone and tissues that support your teeth. Dental deep cleanings are often the first and most crucial step in managing gum disease. By removing the source of infection and giving your gums the chance to heal, we can prevent permanent damage—and often avoid the need for surgery down the road.
At our office, we don’t just clean teeth. We take the time to understand your symptoms, explain your condition clearly, and guide you toward lasting gum health in a judgment-free environment because your well-being is our priority.
We use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the process. Some mild tenderness may be experienced afterward, but it is generally very manageable for most patients.
It depends on how your gums respond. Some patients may require ongoing periodontal maintenance every few months, while others return to regular cleanings after their initial healing period has passed.
It’s usually done in two visits, treating one side of your mouth at a time. Each appointment typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
