Dental Art Clinic provides dental limpieza profunda in Mount Prospect, IL, for patients with gum disease and buildup below the gumline. We also welcome patients from Arlington Heights, Wheeling, Prospect Heights, and surrounding communities.
A dental deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, goes beyond a routine dental cleaning. It removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline and helps create a cleaner environment for the gums to heal.
If you have signs of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, swollen or tender gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, or periodontal pockets, our dental team can evaluate your oral health and determine whether deep cleaning is appropriate.
Dental deep cleaning, commonly called scaling and root planing, is a nonsurgical periodontal treatment used to treat gum disease. Unlike a routine preventive cleaning, which primarily removes plaque and tartar from the visible surfaces of the teeth and around the gumline, deep cleaning addresses buildup below the gumline.
During scaling, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the teeth and beneath the gums. Root planing smooths the root surfaces to help the gums heal and reattach more effectively. Depending on the extent of gum disease, treatment may be completed in one or more appointments.
Dr. Joanna Tylman and the Dental Art Clinic team will evaluate your gums and recommend treatment based on your individual periodontal needs.

Not everyone needs a deep cleaning. Routine dental cleanings are generally appropriate for patients with healthy gums, while scaling and root planing may be recommended when periodontal disease is present.
If you have bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, tartar buildup below the gumline, or have been told you have periodontal pockets, schedule an evaluation at Dental Art Clinic. We can determine whether routine preventive care or periodontal treatment is appropriate for you.
