Root Planing in DHA Lahore for Deep Gum Cleaning & Periodontal Care.
Our current price rangeRs. 10,000–20,000
Root planing is deeper periodontal cleaning below the gumline when gum disease or deeper deposits are found. We assess the gums and periodontal pockets first, then explain whether routine scaling is enough or whether deeper root-surface cleaning is appropriate.

Direct answers first
Root planing questions, answered clearly.
The useful questions are whether deeper periodontal treatment is actually needed, what it costs and how it differs from a routine cleaning.
Do bleeding gums automatically mean root planing?
No. Bleeding can come from gingivitis, periodontitis, local irritation or other causes. We examine the gums before deciding whether routine cleaning or deeper periodontal treatment is appropriate.
Can root planing save loose teeth?
It can be part of gum-disease management, but it cannot guarantee that every loose tooth can be saved. Tooth mobility, bone support and the overall periodontal condition affect prognosis.
Before treatment
We check the gums before deciding how deep the cleaning should be.
Root planing should be based on periodontal findings rather than booked as a generic “deep clean.”
Gum and pocket assessment
We look for bleeding, inflammation, recession, calculus, mobility and deeper periodontal pockets.
Imaging when indicated
Dental X-rays may be advised when bone support or another dental problem needs assessment.
Routine scaling vs root planing
If deposits are superficial, routine scaling may be enough. Deeper periodontal disease can require root-surface instrumentation.
Risk factors and maintenance
Smoking, diabetes, home care and previous periodontal history can affect gum health and the follow-up plan.
Scaling vs root planing
Routine cleaning and periodontal deep cleaning are not interchangeable.
The name of the procedure should follow the gum diagnosis. We use the depth and location of deposits, gum inflammation and periodontal findings to decide how much treatment is appropriate.
Scaling & polishing
Best suited to plaque, tartar and surface stain when deeper periodontal treatment is not indicated. It cleans the visible tooth and accessible areas around the gumline and has its own separate treatment guide.
Root planing
Targets selected root surfaces below the gumline when deeper periodontal deposits or disease are present. The amount of treatment depends on which areas are affected rather than automatically treating every tooth the same way.
Periodontal maintenance
Follow-up is based on risk and response. Patients with a history of periodontal disease may need a different maintenance interval from someone having routine preventive cleaning.
After root planing
Healing depends on both treatment and what happens between visits.
Some tenderness or sensitivity can occur after deeper periodontal cleaning. We explain individual aftercare and the findings that would need earlier review rather than assuming every patient follows the same recovery timetable.
Keep plaque control consistent
Gentle brushing and appropriate interdental cleaning help reduce new plaque accumulation. We can advise a method that fits the gum condition and spaces between your teeth.
Temporary sensitivity can occur
Root surfaces may feel more sensitive after calculus is removed and inflamed tissues settle. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be reviewed.
Smoking and diabetes matter
Smoking and poorly controlled diabetes can affect periodontal healing and disease progression. Tell us about relevant health conditions and medicines during assessment.
Review the response
Follow-up helps us reassess bleeding, inflammation, pocketing and home care so the next maintenance interval is based on your response.
Long-term gum care
Root planing treats deposits and inflamed periodontal sites — it does not make future gum disease impossible.
Periodontal disease can recur when plaque control, smoking, diabetes, maintenance or other risk factors are not addressed. A good plan combines professional care with realistic home maintenance.
Bleeding should be reassessed
Improving gum inflammation is a useful sign, but persistent bleeding, swelling, bad taste or increasing tooth mobility needs review rather than repeated self-treatment.
Recession may remain visible
When swollen gums shrink after inflammation improves, existing recession or longer-looking teeth can become more noticeable. This does not automatically mean the cleaning damaged the gums.
Maintenance is individual
There is no single recall interval that is right for everyone. We base follow-up on periodontal findings, disease history, home care and risk factors.
Current price guidance
Root planing at AMDC: Rs. 10,000–20,000.
Our current root planing range is Rs. 10,000–20,000. We confirm the exact quote after assessing how many areas need periodontal treatment and how extensive the condition is.
Our current price rangeRs. 10,000–20,000
The range applies to root planing / periodontal deep-cleaning treatment at AMDC. It should not be confused with routine scaling and polishing.
What can change the final quote?
The number of areas treated, periodontal severity and whether care is staged over more than one visit can affect the final plan.
Routine scaling has its own pricing
If root planing is not indicated, we can guide you to the separate scaling and polishing service instead.
We confirm before treatment
You should know the recommended treatment and cost before the procedure starts.
What happens next
From gum assessment to periodontal follow-up.
The exact sequence varies with the periodontal findings, but the decision starts with diagnosis rather than an automatic deep-cleaning package.
Assessment
We examine the gums, bleeding, deposits and periodontal pockets.
Treatment plan
We explain whether routine scaling, root planing or another dental approach is appropriate.
Deep cleaning
When indicated, deposits below the gumline are removed and root surfaces are instrumented carefully; local anaesthetic may be used.
Review and maintenance
We advise home care and the timing of periodontal review or maintenance according to your response and risk factors.
Urgent note: rapidly spreading facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or severe systemic illness needs urgent medical/dental assessment rather than a routine cleaning appointment.

Message us on WhatsAppHow much does root planing cost at AMDC?
Our current root planing price range is Rs. 10,000–20,000. The exact quote depends on the areas involved and the periodontal findings.
What is root planing?
Root planing is part of non-surgical periodontal treatment. Deposits are removed from below the gumline and root surfaces are cleaned and smoothed where clinically indicated.
Is root planing the same as routine scaling?
No. Routine scaling and polishing focuses mainly on plaque and tartar around accessible tooth surfaces. Root planing is used when deeper periodontal cleaning below the gumline is required.
Does root planing cure gum disease permanently?
No treatment can guarantee that gum disease will never return. Long-term control depends on the initial condition, oral hygiene, smoking and other risk factors, and appropriate periodontal maintenance.
Will I need local anaesthetic?
Local anaesthetic may be used when deeper areas are being treated or when sensitivity would otherwise make treatment uncomfortable. We decide this after assessing the areas that need cleaning.
When should bleeding or swollen gums be checked?
Persistent bleeding, swelling, gum recession, loose teeth, bad taste or ongoing bad breath should be assessed. These symptoms can have several causes and should not be self-diagnosed.
