The earliest stage (gingivitis) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. Once it progresses to periodontitis, bone loss is permanent — but the disease can be stopped and managed for the rest of your life.
Scaling and root planing is performed with local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Mild soreness or sensitivity for a day or two afterward is normal and easily managed.
Most cases are completed in two visits, with one half of the mouth treated at each appointment. Visits typically run 60–90 minutes.
Most dental insurance plans cover scaling and root planing when medically indicated. Contact your insurance provider for coverage specifics. We provide a clear estimate before treatment.
Research links periodontal disease to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications. Controlling gum disease is one of the simplest ways to support overall health.
Patients with treated gum disease typically need maintenance cleanings every three to four months rather than the standard six. This interval keeps bacterial levels down between visits.
