Questions

+ How much does gum disease treatment cost?
A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) typically costs $150–$400 per quadrant, so a full mouth runs roughly $600–$1,600. Periodontal surgery costs about $600–$3,000+ per area. Many dental plans cover periodontal treatment as a basic or major service. (Authority Dental)
+ What is scaling and root planing?
It's a "deep cleaning" that treats gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline (scaling) and smoothing the tooth roots (root planing) so the gums can reattach. It's usually done under local anesthesia, one section of the mouth at a time. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Can gum disease be reversed?
The earliest stage, gingivitis, can be reversed with professional cleaning and good home care. Once it advances to periodontitis and bone is lost, the damage can't be reversed — but treatment can stop it from getting worse and keep your teeth. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Do I need a periodontist or a general dentist for gum disease?
General dentists diagnose and treat early to moderate gum disease, including deep cleanings. A periodontist — a gum specialist — handles advanced disease, gum surgery, and grafts, and a general dentist often refers those cases. (American Academy of Periodontology)
+ Does insurance cover gum disease treatment?
Most dental plans cover scaling and root planing and periodontal maintenance, often paying 50%–80% after a deductible, up to the annual maximum. Surgical treatment is usually covered at a lower percentage. Confirm your specific benefit. (American Academy of Periodontology)
