Removal of Harmful Bacteria

Scaling removes plaque, tartar, and toxins from above and below the gumline. This stops the ongoing irritation that leads to periodontal pockets, bone loss, and gum recession.

Healthier Root Surfaces

Root planing smooths the root surface, allowing irritated gum tissue to reattach. This creates a cleaner environment where bacteria are less likely to accumulate.

Specialized Periodontal Care

Because every patient presents differently, we tailor your treatment to the location, depth, and severity of your gum disease. Our specialists evaluate your tissue response and healing to determine whether further periodontal therapy is needed.

How do I prepare for scaling and root planing?

Preparation may include updated x-rays, a periodontal exam, and a review of your medical history. Our doctor will explain the treatment and answer questions so you know what to expect.
