Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing helps remove plaque and bacteria below your gum line and in between teeth that cannot be reached with your normal at-home oral health care or standard teeth cleaning as a first line of defense. This treatment is a deep cleaning for your gums if you are struggling with periodontal (gum) disease. This procedure can halt the disease and get your oral health back on track. Our compassionate team wants to give you your healthy smile back and will go the extra mile to ensure you are comfortable during this procedure.

What Happens During Scaling and Root Planing?

Stopping gum disease early before it progresses further starts with a scaling and root planing procedure. Patients will have a consultation with our team to evaluate the current state of your teeth and gums. Our team will get you numb with local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Various instruments will be used to remove bacterial tartar build-up below and above your gum line for effective and thorough cleanings.
