Deep Teeth Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
Scaling and root planing to reverse early gum disease and protect your teeth long term.
A thorough cleaning that goes below the gum line to remove tartar and bacteria, used to treat early to moderate gum disease.
Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable while our hygiene team carefully scales tartar from the roots of your teeth, then smooths the root surfaces so gums can reattach.
Scaling and root planing is the gold standard treatment for non surgical gum disease and can reverse early periodontitis.
