Restoring Healthy Gums
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline. When inflammation causes pockets to form between the teeth and gums, routine cleanings are no longer sufficient. This treatment helps control infection and protect the structures that support your teeth.
Routine and Periodontal Care
There are different types of professional cleanings depending on your oral health needs.
Routine Cleaning
A preventive cleaning recommended every six months to remove plaque and tartar above the gumline and maintain healthy gums.
Scaling & Root Planing
A deeper cleaning recommended when gum pockets are present.

Removes plaque and tartar that contribute to gum disease.
Helps the gums heal and reattach to the teeth.
Reduces spaces where bacteria can collect.
Supports healthier tissue around the teeth.
Preserves the bone and structures that hold teeth in place.
Early treatment helps prevent long-term damage.
