4-6 weeks gives you an indication of your treatment results. Most individuals that have had this treatment usually require 3 months of gum maintenance.
Two weeks.
Dear Reader,

How long does it take for your gums to heal after root planing? It depends upon the severity of the gums prior to treatment. In early to moderate cases, it could be a week. I advanced cases, it could take 2 to 3 weeks. If you had root planing and feel like it's taking too long, call your dentist and him or her, take a look to assure you healing accordingly.

Hope this helps,
