When You Need Deep Cleaning

  • • Gum pockets deeper than 4mm (measured during exam)
  • • Bleeding gums when brushing
  • • Visible tartar buildup below the gumline
  • • Early to moderate gum disease (periodontitis)
  • • Haven't had a cleaning in 2+ years

Insurance typically covers 50-80%

Deep cleaning is classified as a periodontal procedure, not preventive. Most insurance covers it at 50-80% after deductible. A $1,000 deep cleaning with 80% coverage = $200 out of pocket.
