A deep cleaning — also called scaling and root planing — is one of the most effective treatments for gum disease. Unlike a regular cleaning that cleans the surface of your teeth, a deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline where gum disease starts. If your dentist has told you that you have gum disease or periodontal issues, a deep cleaning may be exactly what you need to stop the progression and protect your teeth.
Gum disease affects nearly half of American adults and is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. The good news is that when caught early, it is very treatable. Our platform helps you find Metro Detroit dentists and periodontists who are experienced with deep cleaning procedures and have strong patient reviews specifically around gum disease treatment. We also highlight practices that offer sedation for patients who are anxious about the procedure.

A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline and is for patients with healthy gums. A deep cleaning goes below the gumline to remove buildup from the root surfaces of teeth, and is prescribed when gum disease is present.
Deep cleaning in Metro Detroit typically costs between $200 and $400 per quadrant, with a full mouth treatment ranging from $800 to $1,600. Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of the cost when medically necessary. Many practices also offer financing. Prices vary by practice — always call ahead for an exact quote.
Most patients receive local anesthesia during a deep cleaning so the procedure itself is not painful. Some sensitivity and soreness in the gums is normal for a few days afterward. Patients with dental anxiety can also ask about nitrous oxide or oral sedation.
A full mouth deep cleaning is typically done over two appointments, treating one side of the mouth at a time. Each appointment takes about 45 to 90 minutes. A follow-up visit is usually scheduled 4 to 6 weeks later to check healing.
