Scaling and root planing in Lima starts at S/ 840 (approx. USD 240) per quadrant at The Dental Clinic. Also known as deep dental cleaning, dental curettage, root polishing or periodontal scaling, it is a periodontal treatment that removes the plaque and tartar built up below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces. It is recommended if you have bleeding gums, persistent bad breath or a diagnosis of gingivitis or periodontitis, and it helps control the progression of the disease and improve the health of your gums. We perform it under local anesthesia at our Miraflores and San Isidro locations in Lima. If you would like greater comfort during the procedure, we also offer conscious sedation.
It is a deep dental cleaning that removes the bacteria, plaque and tartar attached to the roots of the teeth, below the gumline. Its goal is to reduce gum inflammation, promote healing and help prevent the bone and tooth loss caused by periodontal disease.
At The Dental Clinic, scaling and root planing costs from S/ 840 (approx. USD 240) per quadrant. The mouth is divided into four quadrants. If more than one quadrant or the full mouth needs treatment, the doctor sets the price at your evaluation appointment, based on the severity of the periodontal disease.
It is performed under local anesthesia, so the procedure is usually comfortable. Treatment is normally done by quadrants, in 1 or 2 sessions depending on the extent and severity of the case. If you would like greater comfort, we also offer conscious sedation. After treatment there may be mild sensitivity for a few days.
Your scaling and root planing treatment is planned and supervised by Dr. Lilia Demartini (COP 21568), a specialist in Oral Rehabilitation and Aesthetic Dentistry with over 20 years of experience in Peru, Germany and the United States. The procedure is performed by our Periodontics specialist, while Dr. Demartini directs the comprehensive planning of your case, because healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy, stable smile. We see patients at our Miraflores and San Isidro locations.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so the session is comfortable. There may be some mild sensitivity afterward, which is managed by following the specialist's instructions.
It depends on the extent of periodontal involvement. Generally, 1 to 2 sessions per quadrant are performed.
In many cases inflammation and bleeding decrease over the following weeks. Recovery depends on the severity of the disease, your home hygiene and periodontal maintenance check-ups.
A regular dental cleaning removes visible plaque and tartar above the gumline. Scaling and root planing works below the gumline, cleaning and smoothing the roots to treat periodontal disease.
Scaling and root planing starts at S/ 840 (approx. USD 240) per quadrant. If more quadrants or the full mouth need treatment, the doctor sets the price at your evaluation appointment, based on the severity of the case.
The best service I've ever received at a dental office. The team took wonderful care of me and walked me through all the options for a cracked filling. I highly recommend visiting The Dental Clinic if you need any treatment in Lima. Cheers!
The Dental Clinic is GREAT!! I was treated at the Miraflores office, and even before I arrived in Peru, Dr. Lilian helped me and explained the options I had, and also cleared up my doubts, because in Australia, where I was living in early 2022, they told me something different and even said the infection I had was due to my anemia. I was very distressed and was about to choose to have the tooth pulled, but thanks to Dr. Lilian and her excellent team I decided to have the treatment in Peru. I'm very happy with the results, and I'll wait a year to come back for my check-up :) If you're looking for good professionals, this is the perfect place, believe me!! The best quality you can imagine!!! I hope this review helps more people :) Sincerely, Susy
They treated me very well and the treatment wasn't painful even though I get very nervous. I'm very grateful!
