Deep Teeth Cleaning in Summerlin

Offering Summerlin South & Spring Valley Unmatched Dental Health Care

How many times did you brush and clean your teeth yesterday? If your answer is less than “twice,” you could be jeopardizing your oral health. Cleaning your teeth is just one of many things you can do to keep your gums and teeth healthy. This allows you to maintain the health of your teeth for the rest of your life, lowers your risk of developing gum disease, and improves the appearance of your smile.

Even though brushing your teeth helps keep them clean, it shouldn’t be the only thing you do to maintain that cleanliness. Appointments at the dentist should be kept at regular intervals so that your teeth can be kept in gleaming condition and so that you can preserve your healthy appearance.

Teeth cleaning in Summerlin is not just about aesthetics; it is an essential health measure. Professional teeth cleaning involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, which cannot always be achieved by regular brushing alone. Plaque and tartar build-up can lead to oral diseases if not managed properly, making regular visits to the dentist crucial for maintaining oral health. By establishing a consistent dental hygiene routine, you contribute significantly to your overall well-being.

Do I Need a Deep Cleaning?

It is recommended that you get a deep cleaning to remove tartar and germs that a regular toothbrush is unable to reach. Let’s take a more in-depth look at the various reasons why you should schedule regular deep cleanings. We will also discuss ways to reduce the cost of the deep cleaning.

Gum disease often progresses without any pain, which is why many people are unaware of it until it reaches an advanced stage. Deep cleanings are essential to address the buildup of bacteria and tartar below the gum line, which can’t be effectively removed by regular cleanings. These sessions not only help in treating existing gum diseases but also prevent further complications such as bone loss or tooth decay. Moreover, maintaining a healthy diet, regularly flossing, and using recommended mouthwashes can enhance the effectiveness of your deep cleanings and improve oral health.

What Exactly Is a Deep Dental Cleaning?

There are a few synonyms for comprehensive dental cleaning. Scaling and root planing is a common name for the process that the dentist performs. This particular procedure is frequently carried out on patients who suffer from gum disease. The majority of dental practices offer this service to their patients.

Several distinct methods of in-depth cleaning can be utilized, including the following:

Preventative Deep Cleaning: The goal of preventative deep cleaning is to assist in lowering the probability of developing gum disease in the near or distant future. Patients who already have periodontal disease are candidates for treatment with this. The utilization of the procedure may also assist in lowering the risk of complications. This may be the only type of treatment that the patient needs to receive to successfully manage gum disease.
Therapeutic Deep Cleaning: As opposed to preventative deep cleaning, therapeutic deep cleaning can be quite a bit more intrusive. Patients already suffering from gum disease are the ones who undergo this procedure. In this particular scenario, inflammation is already present in the gums. Additionally, the gums may bleed and have a warm or inflammatory sensation.

During professional dental cleaning, the dentist will pay particular attention to cleaning the areas of the mouth that cannot be reached by brushing alone. This is accomplished by placing a thin instrument in the space between the gums and the teeth. Because people tend to miss the spaces between their teeth when they brush, dental professionals are also trained to clean these areas.

By Dr. Marianne Cohan, DDS, AACD, AAFE | Summerlin Dental Solutions | Updated March 2026

If your dentist has recommended a deep teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing (SRP), you likely have questions about what the procedure involves, how it will feel, how long it takes, and what happens afterward. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, we believe that informed patients are comfortable patients. This guide walks you through every step of the deep cleaning process so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after your appointment at our Summerlin office.

A deep cleaning is not a routine cleaning. It is a therapeutic procedure specifically designed to treat active periodontal (gum) disease by removing bacteria, tartar, and infected tissue from below the gumline where your toothbrush and floss cannot reach. When performed by an experienced provider using modern technology in a calm, focused environment, it is one of the most effective treatments in all of dentistry for halting the progression of gum disease and saving teeth that might otherwise be lost.

Why You Might Need a Deep Cleaning

A standard preventive cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from the visible surfaces of your teeth above the gumline. It is a maintenance procedure designed for patients with healthy gums. But when plaque and tartar accumulate below the gumline and bacteria colonize the periodontal pockets surrounding your tooth roots, a standard cleaning is not sufficient. The infection is deeper than a prophylaxis can reach.

At this stage, your dentist measures the depth of your periodontal pockets using a small probe. Healthy pockets measure 1 to 3 millimeters. Pockets of 4 millimeters or deeper indicate active gum disease that requires treatment. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Marianne Cohan uses our AI-assisted diagnostic system alongside clinical probing to assess the extent of disease. The AI analyzes your radiographs for subtle patterns of bone loss that might not be visible to the human eye, ensuring nothing is missed.

Common signs that you may need a deep cleaning include:

Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
Red, swollen, or tender gum tissue
Gums that have pulled away from your teeth (recession)
Persistent bad breath that does not improve with brushing
Teeth that feel loose or have shifted position
Visible tartar buildup below the gumline
Bone loss visible on dental X-rays

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we encourage you to schedule an evaluation promptly. Patients who delay deep cleaning risk progression to advanced periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss requiring dental implants, bridges, or dentures.

Before Your Deep Cleaning: What Happens First

Your deep cleaning begins with a thorough evaluation. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, your first visit includes comprehensive digital imaging (periapical radiographs and/or CBCT 3D imaging as clinically indicated), AI-assisted radiograph analysis, full periodontal charting (measuring pocket depths at six points around every tooth), and a detailed discussion of findings, treatment options, and costs.

Dr. Cohan reviews your complete medical history and medication list because certain conditions (diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders) and medications (blood thinners, bisphosphonates, immunosuppressants) can affect treatment planning and healing. She coordinates with your physician when necessary to ensure your deep cleaning is safe and appropriately timed.

Before treatment begins, our team verifies your dental insurance benefits and provides an itemized cost estimate so there are no surprises. For out-of-pocket balances, 0% interest financing through HFD provides approval in under 60 seconds with no credit score impact. We also accept CareCredit, all major credit cards, and HSA/FSA accounts.

During Your Deep Cleaning: Step by Step

A deep cleaning is typically completed over two appointments, with one side of your mouth treated at each visit. This allows your hygienist to work thoroughly while keeping you comfortable, and gives the treated side time to begin healing.

Step 1: Anesthesia and Comfort

Because deep cleaning involves work below the gumline where tissue is sensitive, a local anesthetic is administered to completely numb the treatment area. Dr. Cohan applies a topical numbing gel before any injection so you do not feel the needle. Most patients tell us they were unaware the injection was given at all.

For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer multiple levels of sedation: nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild relaxation, oral conscious sedation for moderate anxiety, and IV sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist for patients who want to be completely unaware during the procedure. Because we see one patient at a time, the calm, private, quiet environment itself helps anxious patients feel more at ease than they would in a busy multi-patient office.

Step 2: Scaling

Scaling is the first active phase. Your hygienist uses a combination of ultrasonic scaling instruments (which use high-frequency vibration to break apart heavy tartar deposits) and hand instruments (curettes and scalers) to carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits from the tooth surfaces and from within the periodontal pockets below the gumline. The ultrasonic scaler also flushes the pockets with an antimicrobial irrigation solution to help eliminate bacteria.

Step 3: Root Planing

Immediately after scaling, root planing smooths the root surfaces of your teeth. Bacteria accumulate in the microscopic irregularities on root surfaces. By smoothing these surfaces, root planing removes residual bacteria and toxins and creates a clean surface that allows your gum tissue to reattach to the tooth root as it heals. This reattachment is the key to reducing pocket depths and controlling the disease long-term.

Step 4: Antibiotics and Localized Treatment

After scaling and root planing, Dr. Cohan may place a localized antibiotic (such as Arestin) directly into the deepest periodontal pockets. This slow-release medication continues to kill bacteria for days after the procedure, enhancing healing and reducing the chance of reinfection.

Step 5: Post-Procedure Instructions

Before you leave, our team provides detailed aftercare instructions. You receive Dr. Cohan’s direct contact information so you can reach her personally with any questions during recovery.

After Your Deep Cleaning: Recovery and What to Expect

After the local anesthetic wears off (one to three hours), it is normal to experience some tenderness and sensitivity:

Mild soreness: Treated gums may be tender for two to five days. Over-the-counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen is usually sufficient.
Sensitivity: Teeth may be temporarily sensitive to hot, cold, and sweet. Sensitive-formula toothpaste and a prescription fluoride rinse help significantly.
Minor bleeding: Light bleeding when brushing the treated area is normal for the first few days.
Gum tightening: As gums heal, they tighten and firm around your teeth. This is the desired outcome and indicates tissue reattachment.

Most patients return to normal activities the same day. If you received oral or IV sedation, plan to rest for the remainder of the day.

Important: Do not skip your second appointment. Both sides of your mouth need to be treated for the therapy to be effective. Leaving one side untreated allows bacteria from the untreated side to reinfect the treated side.

Follow-Up: Periodontal Maintenance

Four to six weeks after your deep cleaning, Dr. Cohan schedules a follow-up evaluation to assess gum response. She re-measures pocket depths, compares them to pre-treatment measurements, and evaluates tissue health. In most cases, pocket depths decrease significantly and gum tissue appears healthier.

Going forward, your regular cleanings will be classified as periodontal maintenance rather than standard preventive cleanings, typically scheduled every three to four months. Periodontal disease is a chronic condition. The bacteria can return if not monitored consistently. Between visits, brush twice daily, floss daily (read our Waterpik vs. flossing guide for Dr. Cohan’s recommendation), and stay hydrated in the Las Vegas desert climate where dry mouth accelerates bacterial growth.

The Connection Between Gum Disease and Your Overall Health

A deep cleaning is not just a dental investment. It is a whole-body health investment. Decades of peer-reviewed research have established clear links between severe gum disease and serious systemic health conditions, including cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke, hypertension), diabetes (gum disease makes blood sugar harder to control, and uncontrolled blood sugar worsens gum disease), respiratory infections including pneumonia, pregnancy complications including preeclampsia and preterm labor, and infertility in both men and women. Once the infection in your mouth is treated, your immune system strengthens and your body is better equipped to manage these underlying conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything patients from The Summit, The Ridges,
Queensridge, Henderson, Centennial Hills, and Spring Valley need to know about
deep teeth cleaning at Summerlin Dental Solutions — the practice voted Best of
Las Vegas 19 times.

Why Deep Teeth Cleaning Is Oneof the Most Important Procedures in Dentistry

If your dentist or hygienist has recommended a deep teeth
cleaning — also known as scaling and root planing — it means they have
identified signs of gum disease that
go beyond what a standard cleaning can address. This is not a cosmetic
procedure or an upsell. It is a clinically necessary intervention to stop
bacterial infection from destroying the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in
place. Left untreated, gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in
adults — and it has been linked to serious systemic health conditions including
heart disease, diabetes complications, and respiratory infections.

At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Marianne Cohan
and her team perform deep teeth cleanings with a combination of clinical
expertise, advanced diagnostic technology, and genuine compassion for patients
who may be anxious about the procedure. Below are the 20 questions patients
most frequently ask about deep cleaning, answered with the transparency and
detail you deserve.

20 Frequently Asked Questions
About Deep Teeth Cleaning

Q1. What is a deep teeth cleaning and how is it different
from a regular cleaning?

A
regular dental cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from the
surfaces of your teeth above the gum line. A deep teeth cleaning —
technically called scaling and root planing — goes below the gum line to
remove hardened tartar deposits, bacterial toxins, and infected tissue from
the root surfaces of your teeth and the periodontal pockets that have formed
around them. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan uses our AI-assisted diagnostic imaging and digital X-rays to precisely map the depth and
severity of periodontal pockets before treatment begins, ensuring the most
thorough and targeted cleaning possible. If you are experiencing bleeding
gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, a deep cleaning may be exactly
what you need to stop the progression of gum disease and protect your teeth
for the long term.

Q2. How do I know if I need a deep cleaning instead of a
regular cleaning?

Your
dentist or hygienist determines whether you need a deep cleaning by measuring
the depth of the periodontal pockets around each tooth using a small probe.
Healthy pockets measure 1–3 millimeters. When pockets reach 4 millimeters or
deeper, it indicates that bacteria and tartar have migrated below the gum
line and a standard cleaning cannot reach them. At Summerlin Dental
Solutions, Dr. Cohan combines periodontal probing with our 3D cone beam CT
scanner (CBCT) and AI-assisted radiological analysis to identify bone loss
and hidden infection that may not be visible during a visual exam alone. This
advanced diagnostic technology allows her to catch gum disease earlier and more
accurately than traditional methods, which is one of the key reasons patients
from The Summit, The Ridges, Queensridge, and throughout the Las Vegas Valley
trust our practice for periodontal care.

Q3. Is a deep teeth cleaning painful?

Most
patients experience minimal discomfort during a deep cleaning, especially
when performed with modern techniques and proper anesthesia. At Summerlin
Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan uses local anesthesia to numb the treatment area
before beginning, so you should not feel any sharp pain during the procedure.
For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer a full menu of sedation dentistry options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for
mild relaxation, oral sedation for moderate anxiety, and IV sedation for
patients who want to feel as though they slept through the entire
appointment. We also provide comfort amenities at every chair — warm
blankets, noise-canceling headphones, and personal entertainment screens — so
your experience feels more like a spa visit than a dental procedure. Our team
is hands down the friendliest you will ever encounter at a dental office, and
they will check in with you throughout the procedure to ensure you are
comfortable at every moment.

Q4. How much does a deep teeth cleaning cost in Las Vegas?

Deep
teeth cleaning costs in Las Vegas typically range from $200 to $400 per
quadrant (your mouth is divided into four quadrants), meaning a full-mouth
deep cleaning generally costs between $800 and $1,600 before insurance. The
exact cost depends on the severity of your gum disease, the number of
quadrants requiring treatment, and whether additional therapies such as
antibiotic placement are needed. Most dental insurance plans cover a
significant portion of scaling and root planing because it is classified as a
medically necessary periodontal treatment, not a cosmetic procedure. At
Summerlin Dental Solutions, our team will verify your insurance benefits before treatment and provide a detailed cost estimate
so you know exactly what to expect. For patients without insurance or with
remaining out-of-pocket costs, we offer 0% interest financing through HFD with approval in under a minute and no impact on your
credit score.

Q5. How long does a deep cleaning take?

A
deep cleaning typically takes 45 minutes to an hour per quadrant. Depending
on the severity of your condition, Dr. Cohan may complete all four quadrants
in a single visit or spread the treatment across two appointments to maximize
your comfort. Most patients at Summerlin Dental Solutions complete their deep
cleaning in one to two visits. The TRIOS digital scanner and our AI-assisted
diagnostics allow Dr. Cohan to plan the procedure with precision before
treatment begins, minimizing time in the chair while ensuring no area of
concern is missed. Our centrally located Summerlin office at 851 S Rampart
Blvd is easily accessible from The Summit, The Ridges, and Queensridge, so
scheduling multiple visits is convenient for residents throughout the western
Las Vegas Valley.

Q6. What happens if I don’t get a deep cleaning when my
dentist recommends it?

Delaying
or declining a recommended deep cleaning allows gum disease to progress. What
starts as gingivitis (inflammation and bleeding) can advance to
periodontitis, where the bacterial infection destroys the bone and connective
tissue supporting your teeth. Once bone is lost, it does not grow back on its
own. Advanced periodontitis leads to loose teeth, shifting teeth, painful
abscesses, and ultimately tooth loss — often requiring expensive restorative
treatments like dental
implants, bridges,
or dentures
to replace the teeth that could have been saved with a timely deep cleaning.
Research has also linked untreated gum disease to increased risk of heart
disease, stroke, diabetes complications, and respiratory infections. The cost
of a deep cleaning today is a fraction of the cost — both financial and
physical — of treating advanced gum disease later.

Q7. What should I expect after a deep teeth cleaning?

After
a deep cleaning, it is normal to experience some tenderness, mild swelling,
and sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for a few days. Your gums may
bleed slightly when brushing for the first 24–48 hours. Dr. Cohan provides
detailed post-treatment instructions and may prescribe an antimicrobial mouth
rinse or place localized antibiotics in the deepest periodontal pockets to
support healing. Most patients report that the discomfort is mild and
manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Within one to two weeks,
most patients notice a significant improvement: gums appear pinker and
healthier, bleeding stops, and breath freshens as the bacterial load is
reduced. Dr. Cohan schedules a follow-up visit to re-measure pocket depths
and confirm that healing is progressing as expected.

Q8. Does dental insurance cover deep teeth cleaning in Las
Vegas?

Yes,
most dental insurance plans cover deep teeth cleaning (scaling and root
planing) because it is classified as a medically necessary periodontal
treatment rather than an elective or cosmetic procedure. Coverage typically
falls under your plan’s “basic” or “major” services category at 60–80% after
your deductible is met. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, our front office team
will verify your insurance benefits before treatment, submit
pre-authorization if required by your carrier, and provide a clear breakdown
of your estimated out-of-pocket costs so there are no surprises. Visit our insurance and financial information page for details on the plans we accept and our approach to
maximizing your benefits.

Q9. Can I eat after a deep teeth cleaning?

You
can eat after a deep cleaning, but Dr. Cohan recommends waiting until the
local anesthesia has fully worn off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek,
tongue, or lip. For the first 24–48 hours, stick to soft, lukewarm foods and
avoid anything crunchy, spicy, acidic, or extremely hot or cold. Yogurt,
scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soups are all excellent
choices during the initial healing period. Avoid using a straw for the first
day, as the suction can disturb the healing gum tissue. After two to three
days, most patients return to their normal diet as tenderness resolves.

Q10. How often do I need a deep cleaning?

A
deep cleaning is typically a one-time therapeutic treatment for active gum
disease rather than a recurring procedure. However, after your deep cleaning
is complete, Dr. Cohan will place you on a periodontal maintenance schedule —
usually every three to four months rather than the standard six-month
cleaning interval — to prevent gum disease from returning. These maintenance
visits are shorter and less intensive than the initial deep cleaning, but
they are essential for monitoring pocket depths, removing any new bacterial
buildup below the gum line, and keeping your gums healthy long-term. Regular preventive care visits at Summerlin Dental Solutions are the best investment
you can make in protecting the results of your deep cleaning.

Q11. What technology does Summerlin Dental Solutions use for
deep cleaning diagnosis?

Summerlin
Dental Solutions uses the most advanced dental technology available to diagnose and treat gum disease with
precision. Our AI-assisted radiological analysis system reviews diagnostic
images alongside Dr. Cohan to identify bone loss and hidden infection that
the human eye alone might miss. The 3D cone beam CT scanner (CBCT) provides
comprehensive three-dimensional views of your jawbone, teeth, and periodontal
structures, revealing the full extent of any damage. The TRIOS digital
scanner captures detailed digital impressions without uncomfortable putty
trays, which is used for treatment planning and monitoring progress. Digital
X-rays deliver instant images at up to 90% less radiation than conventional
film. Our soft tissue laser can be used for minimally invasive gum treatment
with faster healing. And dual-screen exam rooms let you see exactly what Dr.
Cohan sees, so you understand your diagnosis and treatment plan completely
before anything begins.

Q12. Is Dr. Cohan qualified to perform deep cleanings and
treat gum disease?

Dr.
Marianne Cohan is exceptionally qualified to diagnose and treat all stages of
gum disease. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the State
University of New York at Buffalo, where she received the Periodontics Award
— specifically recognizing her excellence in the treatment of gum and
supporting tissue disease — as well as the Operative Dentistry Award. With
over 31 years of clinical experience and more than 25 years serving the Las
Vegas community, Dr. Cohan has treated thousands of periodontal cases. She is
an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (fewer
than 1% of dentists), a Best Dentist in America through peer nomination, and
a 19-time Best of Las Vegas winner. She maintains active memberships in the AAFE, AAID,
ADA, Academy of Laser Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry. When
it comes to the health of your gums, you genuinely could not be in better
hands.

Q13. Does Summerlin Dental Solutions offer sedation for deep
cleaning?

Yes.
Summerlin Dental Solutions offers three levels of sedation dentistry for patients who experience anxiety about deep
cleanings or any dental procedure. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides
gentle relaxation while keeping you fully conscious. Oral sedation offers a
deeper level of calm through prescription medication taken before your
appointment. IV sedation is available for patients who want the deepest level
of comfort and may not remember the procedure at all. Dr. Cohan evaluates
each patient individually and recommends the appropriate sedation level based
on your anxiety, the extent of treatment needed, and your medical history.
Combined with our spa-like comfort amenities — warm blankets, noise-canceling
headphones, complimentary beverages, and personal entertainment screens at
every chair — the deep cleaning experience at Summerlin Dental Solutions is
as comfortable as modern dentistry can make it.

Q14. Where is the closest deep cleaning dentist to The
Summit and The Ridges in Summerlin?

Summerlin
Dental Solutions is located at 851 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 230, Las Vegas, NV
89145 — centrally positioned in the heart of Summerlin and just a short drive

Summerlin Dental Solutions?

Absolutely.

minutes from our office on Rampart Boulevard. Queensridge residents enjoy one
of the shortest drives of any community we serve — typically 5–10 minutes
depending on your exact location within Queensridge or Queensridge North.

Q16. Do you accept deep cleaning patients from Henderson and
Centennial Hills?

Yes.
Summerlin Dental Solutions welcomes patients from throughout the Las Vegas
Valley, including Henderson, Green Valley, Anthem, Centennial Hills, and

from both communities consistently tell us they make the drive because Dr.
Cohan’s Periodontics Award training, AACD credentials, and 19 Best of Las
Vegas wins represent a level of clinical and diagnostic expertise —
particularly for periodontal conditions like gum disease — that they have not
found closer to home.

Q17. Is there a deep cleaning dentist near Spring Valley?

Yes.
Summerlin Dental Solutions is located just north of Spring Valley along the
215 Beltway, approximately 10–15 minutes from most Spring Valley
neighborhoods. Spring Valley is one of our largest patient communities, and

implants, our Summerlin office
is an easy, convenient drive from anywhere in Spring Valley.

Q18. What makes the deep cleaning experience at Summerlin
Dental Solutions different from other dental offices?

Three
things make the experience fundamentally different. First, the technology:
our AI-assisted diagnostics, CBCT 3D imaging, and digital scanning give Dr.
Cohan a level of diagnostic precision that most offices simply do not have,
meaning your deep cleaning is more thorough and more targeted. Second, the
environment: after a complete renovation, our office features a gorgeous,
spa-inspired interior with warm lighting, contemporary design, and comfort
amenities at every chair including warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones,
complimentary beverages, and personal entertainment screens. Patients
consistently tell us it feels more like a wellness retreat than a dental
office. Third, the team: from the front desk staff who greet you by name to
the hygienists who explain every step with patience and care, the people at
Summerlin Dental Solutions are hands down the friendliest, most genuine
dental team patients have ever encountered. Hundreds of five-star reviews and a Best Customer Service award from the Las Vegas
Review-Journal confirm it.

Q19. Can gum disease come back after a deep cleaning?

Gum
disease can return if proper maintenance is not followed after treatment.
That is why Dr. Cohan places every deep cleaning patient on a periodontal
maintenance schedule — typically cleanings every three to four months rather
than every six — to monitor your gum health and remove any new bacterial
buildup before it can cause damage. Good daily oral hygiene is equally
important: brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled brush, flossing or using
an interdental cleaner daily, and using any prescribed antimicrobial rinse.
Patients who commit to this combined approach of professional maintenance and
home care see excellent long-term results. Dr. Cohan and her team will work
with you to create a personalized maintenance plan that keeps your gums
healthy for life.

Communities We Serve for Deep
Teeth Cleaning and Periodontal Care

Summerlin Dental Solutions is centrally located at 851 S
Rampart Blvd, Suite 230, in the heart of Summerlin between Tivoli Village, Boca
Park, and Downtown Summerlin. Our office is easily accessible from the 215
Beltway and Summerlin Parkway, making us a convenient destination for patients
from six surrounding communities.

The Summit	One of Summerlin’s most prestigious guard-gated communities, The Summit is located just north of our office along the western rim of the valley. Residents reach us in approximately 10–12 minutes via Town Center Drive and Rampart Boulevard. The Summit’s discerning residents appreciate having AACD-accredited care and advanced diagnostic technology within minutes of their front gate.
The Ridges	This exclusive guard-gated community nestled against Red Rock Canyon is a short drive from Summerlin Dental Solutions via Rampart Boulevard or the 215 Beltway. Ridges residents value the privacy, personalized attention, and clinical excellence that Dr. Cohan delivers as the sole dentist at the practice — a continuity of care model that aligns perfectly with the expectations of this community.
Queensridge	Our closest neighboring community, Queensridge and Queensridge North residents enjoy a 5–10 minute drive to our office. Many of our longest-tenured patients call Queensridge home and have trusted Dr. Cohan with their family’s dental care for over two decades. The combination of world-class expertise and genuine neighborhood proximity makes Summerlin Dental Solutions the natural dental home for Queensridge families.
Henderson	Patients from Henderson, Green Valley, and Anthem make the 25–30 minute drive to Summerlin via the 215 Beltway because Dr. Cohan’s Periodontics Award training, 19 Best of Las Vegas wins, and advanced technology represent a level of periodontal and cosmetic expertise that is exceptionally rare anywhere in Nevada. Henderson patients consistently tell us the result and experience justify the drive.
Centennial Hills	North Las Vegas and Centennial Hills residents travel south on the 215 or US-95 in approximately 20–25 minutes to reach our office. This rapidly growing community has become one of our fastest-expanding patient demographics, with families and professionals choosing Summerlin Dental Solutions for everything from deep cleanings and preventive care to veneers and dental implants.
Spring Valley	Located just south of Summerlin along the 215 Beltway, Spring Valley patients reach our office in 10–15 minutes. Spring Valley is one of our largest patient communities, and word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied patients continue to drive growth. The combination of spa-like comfort, advanced technology, and Dr. Cohan’s expertise makes the short drive an easy choice for Spring Valley residents.

Advanced Technology for
Precise Deep Cleaning Diagnosis and Treatment

The accuracy of a deep cleaning depends entirely on the
accuracy of the diagnosis that precedes it. Summerlin Dental Solutions has
invested in every meaningful advancement in dental technology to ensure that Dr. Cohan can see what others miss, treat
with precision, and deliver the most comfortable experience possible.

AI-Assisted Radiology	Our artificial intelligence diagnostic system reviews every radiographic image alongside Dr. Cohan, identifying subtle patterns of bone loss, hidden calculus deposits, and early-stage periodontal damage that traditional visual review might miss. For deep cleaning patients, this means a more complete diagnosis and a more thorough treatment plan from the start.
3D CBCT Scanner	The cone beam computed tomography scanner produces detailed three-dimensional views of your jawbone, teeth, and periodontal structures in seconds. Unlike flat X-rays, CBCT reveals bone loss from every angle, helping Dr. Cohan determine the exact severity and distribution of gum disease — critical information for planning the most effective deep cleaning approach.
TRIOS Digital Scanner	This handheld device captures highly detailed digital impressions of your teeth and gums in minutes, completely eliminating the messy putty trays that most patients dread. For periodontal patients, the TRIOS scanner provides precise baseline measurements that can be compared to post-treatment scans to objectively measure healing and improvement.
Soft Tissue Laser	Our dental laser enables minimally invasive gum treatment with faster healing, less bleeding, and significantly less discomfort than traditional surgical methods. For patients with deeper periodontal pockets, laser-assisted therapy can be used alongside scaling and root planing to remove diseased tissue and promote gum reattachment.
Digital X-Rays	Delivering instant diagnostic images at up to 90% less radiation than conventional film, digital X-rays are used to assess bone levels around each tooth and identify areas of concern before and after deep cleaning. The images appear immediately on our dual-screen exam room monitors so you can see exactly what Dr. Cohan sees.
Dual-Screen Exam Rooms	Every treatment room features dual monitors that display your diagnostic images, X-rays, and treatment plan in real time. This transparency turns your appointment into a collaborative conversation — you see the pockets, the bone loss, and the improvement after treatment, making you an informed partner in every decision about your care.
Computerized Smile Design	While primarily used for cosmetic treatments like veneers and smile makeovers, our smile design software also helps Dr. Cohan visualize the restorative path forward for patients whose gum disease has caused tooth loss or shifting, connecting periodontal treatment to long-term smile restoration goals.

Your Deep Cleaning Team: Dr.
Cohan and the Friendliest Staff in Las Vegas

Dr. Marianne Cohan
earned her DDS from the State University of New York at Buffalo with dual
honors, including the Periodontics Award — the highest recognition for
excellence in gum and supporting tissue treatment — and the Operative Dentistry
Award. With more than 31 years of clinical experience and over 25 years serving
the Las Vegas Valley, she has treated thousands of periodontal cases ranging
from early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontitis requiring complex
multi-stage intervention. As an Accredited Member of the AACD (fewer than 1% of
dentists), a Best Dentist in America through peer nomination, and a 19-time Best of Las Vegas winner across four categories (Best Dentist, Best Cosmetic
Dentist, Best Customer Service, and Best Woman-Owned Business), Dr. Cohan
brings a depth of expertise and a standard of care that very few dentists in
Nevada can match. She is the sole dentist at the practice, meaning you see the
same doctor at every visit — no rotating associates, no unfamiliar faces, just
a relationship built on trust that deepens over years. You genuinely could not
be in better hands.

The team surrounding Dr. Cohan reflects her philosophy of
patient-first care. Hundreds of five-star patient reviews mention the warmth, patience, and genuine kindness of
the front desk staff, hygienists, and treatment coordinators by name. Whether
you are nervous about your first deep cleaning or returning for a routine
maintenance visit, every member of this team is committed to making you feel
welcome, informed, and cared for from the moment you walk through the door.

A Spa-Like Environment for
Comfortable Periodontal Care

After a stunning, top-to-bottom renovation, Summerlin
Dental Solutions features a gorgeous, modern interior that patients
consistently describe as spa-like. Warm lighting, contemporary design accents,
and a calming aesthetic create an atmosphere that puts you at ease before you
ever sit in the chair. Every treatment room is equipped with complimentary
beverages, cozy warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones to block out any
sounds you would rather not hear, and a personal entertainment screen where you
can watch your favorite show or listen to music during your deep cleaning.

For deep cleaning patients specifically, these amenities
make a meaningful difference. A deep cleaning takes longer than a standard
visit, and the comfort of a warm blanket, your favorite podcast in
noise-canceling headphones, and a team that checks in with genuine care
throughout the procedure transforms what could be an anxiety-inducing
experience into something genuinely manageable — and for many patients,
surprisingly pleasant.
