If you are showing signs of more advanced gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, our team may recommend scaling and root planing, commonly referred to as a deep cleaning. This non-surgical treatment is highly effective in minimizing infection, preventing bone loss, and helping you keep your natural teeth for life.
Scaling and root planing is a specialized deep cleaning procedure designed to treat gum disease and improve oral health. Unlike a routine dental cleaning that focuses on the visible surfaces of your teeth, this treatment goes beneath the gum line to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the periodontal pockets.
Comfort First
To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, a gentle local anesthetic is administered so you remain relaxed and pain-free during treatment.
Scaling
Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from beneath the gum line and periodontal pockets, reducing harmful bacteria and improving gum health.
Root Planing
The root surfaces of your teeth are smoothed with precision instruments, making it harder for bacteria to return and lowering the chance of reinfection.
