Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Performed by the dentist or the periodontics specialist, scaling and root planing is indicated when the gum is inflamed and tartar has built up beneath it, a sign of periodontal disease. It's a deep cleaning that removes plaque and calculus from the tooth root surface and smooths that area so the gum can reattach.
What is it for? It aims to slow the progression of periodontitis, reduce bleeding, and preserve the bone support of the teeth.
What to expect? It's usually done by quadrant and with local anesthesia; there may be temporary sensitivity after the session.
The most sensible approach is to have a dentist assess the condition of your gums and determine how many sessions you need.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
