Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a two-step process that typically takes place over the course of two appointments with our team. First, we’ll carefully clear away all plaque and tartar covering your teeth, cleaning as far down as the pockets of your gums. At the next appointment, we’ll remove any hardened deposits of bacteria from the roots of your teeth. This will allow the tissue to reattach to the tooth and protect the roots from decay.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Using our diode soft tissue dental laser, we can gently remove any damaged and infected tissue to restore the health of the gums. It immediately cauterizes the area, minimizing bleeding during the procedure and shortening recovery time, and it kills harmful bacteria on contact. Using the laser, along with a local anesthetic, also makes this treatment virtually pain-free.
