Restore Your Gum Health with Professional Deep Cleaning
Periodontal Cleaning (Deep Cleaning) is required for patients who have heavy deposits & haven’t been to a dentist/hygienist for a long time and also for the treatment of gum disease. This requires a deeper scaling which involves removal of plaque/calculus deposited on the root surfaces below the gum line.
At Freemans Bay Dental, we provide gentle, effective deep cleaning treatments to improve your gum health, protect your teeth, and support your long-term oral wellbeing.
What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning is a non-surgical periodontal treatment that targets plaque, tartar, and bacteria beneath the gumline. By thoroughly cleaning the tooth roots and smoothing their surfaces, the gums can begin to heal and reattach to the teeth.
Depending on your needs, your treatment may include:
- Removal of plaque and tartar below the gumline
- Scaling to clean deep periodontal pockets
- Root planing to smooth tooth root surfaces
- Assessment of gum health and pocket depth
- Personalised oral hygiene advice
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing
Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on the condition of your gums.
Comfortable, Personalised Care
Your comfort is our priority. Depending on the extent of treatment required, we may use a local anaesthetic to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. We’ll explain every step of the process, answer your questions, and provide personalised aftercare instructions to support your recovery and long-term gum health.
If plaque and tartar have built up below the gumline, a routine dental clean may not be enough to restore your oral health. Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a specialised treatment designed to remove harmful bacteria, reduce gum inflammation, and help prevent the progression of gum disease.
Your dentist may discuss the option of giving you a local anaesthetic, so that it does not feel too sensitive and uncomfortable. It takes longer than a regular scale and polish. Your mouth might be treated in sections, at more than one visit, if required.
Cost Involved – For a deep clean, you are looking in the range of $100-$350 depending upon if it’s for the whole mouth or only certain areas that require a deep clean.
