Deep Cleanings
When gum disease advances beyond its earliest stages, a deep cleaning—also known as scaling and root planing—becomes essential to restore your oral health.
This specialized procedure goes beneath the gum line to remove harmful bacteria, tartar, and toxins that regular cleanings can't reach. During the treatment, we carefully clean the tooth roots and smooth their surfaces, which helps your gums reattach to your teeth and creates an environment where healing can begin.
Most patients find deep cleanings surprisingly comfortable, especially with the numbing options we provide to ensure your experience is as pleasant as possible. The procedure is typically completed in sections over one or two visits, allowing us to thoroughly address each area of concern. Many patients notice their gums feel healthier and look pinker within just a few weeks, and you'll likely experience fresher breath and reduced inflammation as your mouth heals.
