Deep Dental Cleaning in Deerfield Beach, FL
What is Deep Cleaning?
A deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease. It involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline and smoothing the root surfaces to promote gum reattachment and healing.
This treatment is recommended when gum pockets measure over 4mm and standard dental cleanings are no longer sufficient.
Signs You May Need a Deep Cleaning
You may benefit from deep cleaning if you’re experiencing:
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or tooth sensitivity
- Deep periodontal pockets
- Loose teeth
During your exam, we’ll use digital x-rays and periodontal measurements to determine whether deep cleaning is necessary.
Our Deep Cleaning Process
At Rio Dental Studio, your comfort and care come first. Here’s what to expect during your deep cleaning treatment:
Periodontal Assessment
We begin with a full periodontal charting and diagnostic imaging to assess gum health and measure pocket depths.
Scaling
Our hygienist uses ultrasonic tools to remove hardened plaque and tartar from beneath the gums and around tooth roots.
Root Planing
We then smooth the tooth roots to remove bacteria and help the gums reattach, reducing pocket depth and halting the spread of disease.
Antibacterial Therapy
If needed, we may apply local antibiotics or recommend a prescription rinse to further support healing.
Follow-Up Evaluation
After a few weeks, we re-evaluate your gums to ensure they’re healing properly. Many patients benefit from a periodontal maintenance schedule moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a deep cleaning painful?
We use local anesthesia if needed to numb the area and ensure your comfort. Most patients feel only minor sensitivity afterward.
How long does the procedure take?
Depending on the severity, deep cleaning may be done in one or two visits, typically 45–60 minutes per session.
What’s the difference between a deep cleaning and regular cleaning?
Regular cleanings focus on the surface of the teeth and above the gumline, while deep cleanings remove bacteria and tartar below the gums where periodontal disease develops.
Will insurance cover deep cleaning?
Many dental insurance plans cover deep cleanings as a periodontal treatment. We’ll help you verify coverage and maximize benefits.
