Scaling and Root Planing

When it comes to maintaining good oral health, regular brushing and flossing are just the beginning. Even with proper at-home care, plaque and tartar can build up over time and lead to gum disease, a serious condition that can damage the gums and underlying bone structure. Scaling and root planing, also known as a dental deep cleaning, is a non-surgical procedure that removes built-up plaque and tartar from the teeth and below the gum line, helping to prevent and treat gum disease. At Smile Flossophy, our skilled dental professionals provide gentle and effective scaling and root planing services to keep your gums healthy and your smile bright.

What is Scaling and Root Planing?

Scaling and root planing, also known as dental deep cleaning, is a non-surgical procedure that helps remove built-up plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. This treatment is essential for patients who have experienced gum disease or are at risk of developing it. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to serious dental problems, including tooth loss and bone damage. During the procedure, patients can expect a thorough cleaning of their teeth and gums, which may include the use of specialized tools to remove stubborn plaque and tartar. Our skilled dental professionals at Smile Flossophy can provide personalized care and attention to ensure that patients are comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process.

Benefits of Laser Pocket Disinfection

Precision: Laser pocket disinfection can specifically target infected areas without harming healthy tissue, resulting in more precise treatment and quicker healing time.

Reduced pain and discomfort: The laser used in the procedure is gentle and minimally invasive, which means patients experience less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure.

Minimal bleeding: The laser used in the procedure seals off blood vessels as it disinfects the gums, which results in minimal bleeding during and after the treatment.

Faster healing time: Laser pocket disinfection promotes quicker healing time by reducing inflammation and allowing the gums to regenerate faster.

Long-lasting results: The procedure can help prevent further gum disease by removing bacteria and promoting healthy tissue growth.
