Scaling &
Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a two-step process that typically takes place between one and two appointments. During the first part, our team will thoroughly clear all plaque and tartar that has accumulated on the surface of your smile. Next, we’ll smooth out the roots of your teeth to allow your gums to healthily reattach and provide the vulnerable area with much-needed protection. By minimizing the prevalence of harmful oral bacteria, this treatment can ease or completely erase uncomfortable gum disease symptoms, depending on how far the condition has progressed.
