Deep Cleaning

Stop Gum Disease Before It Gets Worse

Do your gums bleed when brushing? Do you notice bad breath or gum recession? You may need a deep dental cleaning to stop the progression of gum disease. At 360 Smile in Monterey Park, we provide comfortable, effective scaling and root planing to restore your gum health and protect your teeth.

Early treatment can help you avoid tooth loss and more invasive procedures down the road.

What Is a Deep Cleaning?

A deep cleaning is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease (periodontitis). It goes beyond a standard dental cleaning by cleaning below the gumline and smoothing the roots of your teeth.

It includes two main steps:

Scaling – Removal of plaque and tartar buildup from the tooth surfaces and below the gumline.
Root Planing – Smoothing the tooth roots so the gums can reattach and heal.

We may also use antibacterial rinses or localized antibiotics to promote healing and reduce bacteria.

Signs You Might Need a Deep Cleaning

Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
Receding gumline
Persistent bad breath
Loose or shifting teeth
Pockets between teeth and gums (confirmed with X-rays or probing)

If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a periodontal exam with our Monterey Park team.

FAQs About Deep Cleaning

Q: Is deep cleaning painful?
A: We numb the area before starting, so you won’t feel discomfort during the procedure. You may experience slight sensitivity afterward, which resolves quickly.

Q: How long does it take?
A: Most deep cleanings are done in two visits, one for each side of the mouth. Each visit takes about 45–60 minutes.

Q: Is a deep cleaning the same as a regular cleaning?
A: No. A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) is preventive. A deep cleaning is a therapeutic treatment for active gum disease.

Q: What happens after deep cleaning?
A: Your gums will begin to heal and reattach to the tooth roots. We’ll schedule a follow-up to measure your progress and may recommend periodontal maintenance every 3–4 months.

Q: How much does deep cleaning cost in Monterey Park?
A: Costs vary based on severity and insurance coverage. We accept most PPO plans and offer flexible payment options.
