If after root planning, your gum pockets don't close up, i.e. the depth of the pockets remains too much, your dentist should suggest you to undergo perio surgeries in order for the perio pockets to get better.

Teeth Polishing
There basically are two kinds of polisher:
(1) prophy jet polishing and
     
(2) rubber tip polishing with prophy paste.

• Prophy jet polishing works by spraying high pressured water mixed with baking soda paste onto the surface of your teeth.. Powered water can wash away the residue and plaque, while the baking soda can remove brown and yellow stains and neutralize the acidic conditions of your mouth.
  
• Rubber cup polishing employs a low-speed hand piece with a rubber cup tip mounted on the top. Inside the rubber cup is polishing paste, which contains abrasive ingredients for removing stains and fluoride for strengthening tooth enamel. The rubber cup is spinning slowly on the surface of the teeth. Also, the paste even comes with many pleasant flavors, such as mint, grape, watermelon, etc.
  

Both polishing procedures above can polish stains away efficiently, and can be used to remove heavy stains if any.

Estimates for length of treatment
The amount of time needed for dental cleaning depends on factors from plaque deposits, the complication of dental restorations, if any, and your gingival health, etc. Of course patients with more tartar and plaque buildup need longer appointment than those who have relatively cleaner teeth.
In a moderate case, with moderate plaque accumulation, dental cleaning should take about 25 to 30 minutes.

Recalls
People should usually go every six months for dental cleaning and check-up. That's twice a year and is what most dental insurance plans cover. But the frequency of recall for dental cleaning really depends on individual cases. Some people tend to have much quick tartar buildup than others. Some might have poor oral hygiene or bad gum situation. And for these people, the rule of thumb is to get professional cleaning more frequently. But do consult with with your dentist
