Deep Cleaning & Periodontics

Deep Cleanings

Combat gum disease with advanced Scaling and Root Planing. Our periodontal specialists provide the deep-tissue care necessary to secure your natural teeth and ensure implant success.

What is a Deep Cleaning & Periodontics Procedure?

Deep cleaning, clinically known as Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), is a non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease. Unlike a regular cleaning, this procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from deep beneath the gumline (scaling) and smoothing the tooth roots (planing). This helps the gum tissue reattach to the teeth and eliminates the bacteria-filled “pockets” that cause bone loss. It is the first line of defense at our Los Algodones clinic for maintaining oral health.

Who Needs Deep Cleaning & Periodontics?

This procedure is essential for patients showing signs of gingivitis or periodontitis, such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums and persistent bad breath. If your dentist finds gum pockets deeper than 4mm during an exam, a deep cleaning is required. A healthy foundation is mandatory for restorative work; we often perform this before placing Porcelain Veneers or Zirconia Crowns to ensure long-term stability.

Benefits of Deep Cleaning & Periodontics

The most significant benefit is stopping the progression of gum disease, which is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. By eliminating deep-seated bacteria, you reduce systemic inflammation linked to heart disease and diabetes. For dental tourism patients, getting a deep cleaning in Los Algodones ensures that your investment in single tooth implants is protected by a healthy, disease-free environment.

Procedure Time for Deep Cleaning

A full-mouth deep cleaning is typically split into two sessions to ensure patient comfort, with each session lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. We use local anesthesia to ensure the process is completely painless. Because there are no incisions, there is no downtime, and you can enjoy the many restaurants of Molar City shortly after your appointment.
