 Refresh Your Smile with a Deep Cleaning—Healthy Gums, Strong Teeth, and Lasting Confidence.

What are Deep Cleanings?

A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, goes beyond a regular dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. This treatment is essential for addressing gum disease (gingivitis or early-stage periodontitis) and preventing further damage. If your gums are inflamed, bleeding, or receding, a deep cleaning can help halt the progression of gum disease and promote healing. It’s a proactive step to restore your oral health, strengthen your gums, and protect your smile for the long run!

What to Expect

A deep cleaning is done in two steps: scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline, and root planing smooths out the tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal properly. Since we clean deeper than a regular cleaning, we may numb the area to keep you comfortable.

The process may be completed in one or two visits, depending on your needs. Afterward, your gums may feel a little tender, but that’s a sign of healing! With good care, you’ll notice healthier gums and fresher breath in no time.

What Are Deep Cleanings?

A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, goes beyond a routine dental cleaning to target plaque and bacteria below the gumline. It’s designed to treat gum disease (gingivitis or early-stage periodontitis) by removing built-up tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach.

If your gums are inflamed, bleeding, or pulling away from your teeth, a deep cleaning can help stop the progression of gum disease and restore your oral health. It’s a proactive way to protect your smile and keep your gums strong!

FAQs About Deep Cleanings

Why Do I Need a Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleanings are recommended for patients with gum disease or excessive tartar buildup that has started affecting the gums. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to receding gums, bone loss, and even tooth loss. A deep cleaning helps stop it in its tracks.

Does a Deep Cleaning Hurt?

Not at all! We numb the area to make sure you’re comfortable, and after the treatment, any mild soreness or sensitivity will go away in a few days. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in your gum health.

Will My Teeth Feel Different After a Deep Cleaning?

Yes, but in a good way! Your mouth will feel fresher, cleaner, and healthier, and any gum inflammation should start improving. You might notice some sensitivity at first, but that’s just part of the healing process.

How Often Do I Need a Deep Cleaning?

Most people only need a deep cleaning once, followed by regular cleanings every 3-6 months to keep their gums healthy. If you have ongoing gum issues, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.

I hadn't been to the dentist in over a decade for various reasons including dental anxiety. Then I, unsurprisingly, got a cavity that put a chip in one of my front teeth. This entire office, including Dr. Jurado have been amazing. I have had a regular cleaning check up and diagnostic, my second visit was a deep cleaning on one side and cavity fill, and third visit was a deep cleaning on the other side. For someone with anxiety, three visits within a month is a LOT, but the entire staff made me feel comfortable, explained procedures completely and never tried to "just sell" unnecessary treatments. I'm so glad I found Paramount, and will be back for regularly scheduled cleanings and checkups.

I had a fantastic experience at Paramount Smile! The staff ( namely Sarairis and Dr. Jurado) was incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The office was spotless and had a welcoming atmosphere. They took the time to explain ways I could improve my oral hygiene and enhance my smile, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I’ll definitely be returning for future visits.

I just want to say everyone of the staff made me feel welcomed and made the experience really memorable. Sara creates a sweet and warm first impression of the clinic. Doctor Melissa Jurado treated me very warm and friendly and also was extremely professional, and so did her assistant, Julie. And Laura was so professional, patient and sweet. This location has a great environment and made me feel at ease .Thank you so much.
