Scaling & Root Planing
When a general cleaning isn’t enough to effectively remove bacteria within gum pockets, our team will provide scaling and root planing, also known as a deep cleaning. The elimination of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline is designed to create a healthier space for gums to reattach as well as make it harder for bacteria to adhere in the future. This two-part process is considered highly effective and safe to use, so you can trust that your gum health is in the best hands.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
As a more targeted and comfortable form of gum disease treatment, the use of our Biolase and Gemini lasers allows us to remove infected tissues to create a bacteria-free space for the gums to heal. Capable of restoring your appearance and overall health, the laser’s optimal precision ensures faster results, so you can begin to feel more confident about your smile shortly after treatment.
Antibiotic Treatment
To reach pockets of bacteria that specialized instruments and dental lasers cannot, our dentists will incorporate antibiotic treatment. The prescription medicine provided by our team increases the chances of successful bacterial removal from deep within the gum pockets, encouraging the soft tissues to heal. What you are left with is a healthier smile that we will closely monitor over time to ensure harmful particles do not try to form in the future.
