A modern procedure for deep cleaning of periodontal pockets that helps effectively treat periodontitis without pain or surgical intervention.
Curettage is a method of deep cleaning the surfaces of tooth roots and periodontal pockets, which removes tartar, plaque, and bacteria beneath the gums. At Lynnyk Dental Clinic, this procedure is performed as part of SRP therapy — a modern non-surgical approach to treating periodontitis.
Unlike regular cleaning, gum curettage targets the tooth root rather than the surface, eliminating the cause of inflammation. This helps stop the progression of periodontitis, reduce the depth of gum pockets, and restore the gums’ healthy appearance.
At Dr. Lynnyk’s Dental Clinic, two main types of gum curettage are performed, depending on the depth of the periodontal pockets and the stage of the disease.
Regardless of the type of procedure, curettage aims to thoroughly clean the periodontal pockets and restore gum health.
SRP Therapy (Scaling and Root Planing) is a professional deep cleaning of tooth roots and periodontal pockets. The procedure combines ultrasonic and manual cleaning, ensuring maximum hygiene beneath the gums.
Stages of gum curettage:
Diagnosis. The doctor determines the depth of the pockets and the extent of the damage to choose between the closed or open method.
Preparation. A professional tooth cleaning is performed along with local anesthesia for the patient’s comfort.
Removal of Deposits. The tooth root surface is cleaned using special curettes and ultrasonic tips.
Antiseptic Treatment. Antimicrobial agents are applied into the pocket to eliminate any remaining infection.
Root Polishing. The tooth surface is smoothed to prevent the buildup of plaque again.
Healing Control. The doctor provides care recommendations and schedules a follow-up examination.
After the procedure, the gums heal quickly, inflammation is reduced, and the teeth become more stable.
Gum curettage is recommended for patients with chronic inflammatory processes in the periodontal tissues, when regular oral hygiene is no longer effective. The procedure helps remove bacterial deposits beneath the gums and prevents further progression of periodontitis.
Key indications for SRP therapy (curettage):
After periodontal pocket curettage, the gums become firmer, bleeding and bad breath disappear, and the tissues gradually restore their health.
The cost of the procedure depends on the number of affected teeth, the depth of the periodontal pockets, and the type of intervention — closed or open curettage. At Lynnyk Dental Clinic, the price is determined after a diagnosis, when the doctor evaluates the condition of the gums and the extent of treatment needed.
We follow a policy of transparency: each patient knows in advance the cost of gum curettage for their case. Only sterile instruments and certified materials are used, ensuring a safe and predictable result.

Curettage — what it is is a professional cleaning of periodontal pockets to remove tartar, plaque, and infected tissues. The procedure eliminates the main cause of inflammation, stops bone tissue destruction, and helps preserve natural teeth. At Lynnyk Dental Clinic, SRP therapy (Scaling and Root Planing) is a modern, safe, and effective non-surgical method for treating periodontitis.
During the procedure, the doctor uses special instruments — curettes to gently clean the tooth root surfaces and the walls of periodontal pockets. Polishing and antiseptic treatment are then performed to prevent the recurrence of bacterial plaque.
In most cases, the treatment is done under local anesthesia, without pain or prolonged recovery.
The clinic uses two types of the procedure:
Both methods provide deep cleaning of periodontal pockets and help preserve natural teeth even in advanced cases of periodontitis.
Even after one session, patients notice significant improvements:
After gum curettage, inflammatory processes are halted, and the risk of tooth loss is significantly reduced. To maintain results, professional hygiene twice a year is recommended.
At Lynnyk Dental Clinic, the price of gum curettage depends on the number of teeth and the type of procedure — closed or open curettage. We guarantee a transparent policy, detailed explanation of the treatment plan, and high-quality care at every stage of the procedure.
