Deep Clean. Healthier Gums. A Stronger Foundation for Your Smile.
Plan Your Next StepsWhat Is Scaling & Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning, is a non-surgical periodontal treatment designed to stop gum disease and restore the health of your gums. While a regular cleaning focuses on the visible surfaces of your teeth, scaling and root planing goes below the gumline to remove hardened plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the roots of your teeth. The tooth roots are then smoothed, or "planed," to help your gums reattach and heal properly. This gentle, highly effective treatment is often the first step in reversing early gum disease and preventing more serious issues down the road.

Benefits of Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing does far more than clean your teeth. It actively reverses early gum disease, protects your bone, and creates the healthy environment your gums need to heal, all without the need for surgery.
Reverses Early Gum Disease
Deep cleaning removes the bacteria and buildup driving gum disease, allowing inflamed gums to heal and reattach to healthy tooth surfaces.
Prevents Tooth and Bone Loss
By stopping gum disease early, scaling and root planing protects the supporting bone and ligaments that keep your teeth strong and in place.
Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive
This gentle, in-office treatment offers powerful results without the need for gum surgery, making it a comfortable first step toward healthier gums.
The Scaling & Root Planing Process
Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation
We begin with a detailed exam, digital X-rays, and gum measurements to accurately assess gum health and determine whether deep cleaning is needed.
Comfortable Local Anesthesia
Using local anesthesia, we gently numb the treatment area so you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire deep cleaning process.
Scaling Above and Below the Gumline
We carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits from the tooth surfaces and pockets below the gumline using precise, gentle instruments.
Root Planing for Gum Reattachment
The roots of your teeth are smoothed, or "planed," to remove bacterial toxins and encourage your gums to heal and reattach properly.
Follow-Up and Periodontal Maintenance
A follow-up visit helps us assess healing, and we recommend a personalized maintenance schedule to keep your gums healthy long term.
