Deep Cleaning in Spokane
When gum disease has taken hold, a regular cleaning isn't enough. Scaling and root planing removes tartar below the gumline and gives your gums a chance to heal.
Serving Greater Spokane
We help Spokane patients reverse the effects of years without care — no judgment, just a plan.
What to expect
We numb the gums, then use ultrasonic and hand instruments to clean deep pockets and smooth root surfaces. Most patients complete it over 1–2 visits.
Signs you should come in
- Deep gum pockets on your last exam
- Bleeding, tender, or receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Tartar buildup visible on teeth
- A diagnosis of periodontal disease
- It's been years since your last cleaning
Our Spokane process
Numbing & comfort
We fully numb each quadrant so you feel nothing during the cleaning.
Scale & plane
Tartar removed below the gumline; root surfaces smoothed so gums can reattach.
Maintenance
3–4 month cleanings keep gum disease from coming back.
