Scaling and Root Planing

Gum disease is no fun, but don’t worry – our team has you covered with our scaling and root planing treatment. We use a gentle approach to keep you relaxed and the best methods to ensure your mouth is healthy and happy.

What is Scaling and Root Planing?

Think of it as a deep clean for your gums. Our skilled professionals use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup on the surface of your teeth, both above and below the gum line. Then, we smooth out any rough areas on the root surfaces of your teeth where bacteria can accumulate. The result is a healthier, happier mouth!

Benefits of Treatment

One of the best things about scaling and root planing is that it can help control gum disease by removing the bacteria that cause inflammation and infection. The procedure can prevent further damage to your teeth and gums. In some cases, it can even reverse the effects of early-stage gum disease!

Ultimately, scaling and root planing can provide many benefits, like:

Prevent tooth loss
Improve bad breath
Reduce tooth sensitivity
Improve the appearance of your teeth
Improve overall oral health and hygiene

What to Expect During Treatment

Our dental hygienists will perform the procedure with a gentle touch, and we may even offer local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, you may require more than one visit. After the procedure, we may prescribe antibiotics or other medications to help control infection and promote healing.
