Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleanings, are an excellent way for our team to minimize bacteria presence in your mouth, helping your body fight off an oral infection.
Our team will thoroughly remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth as far down as the pockets of your gums. We’ll then clear away any hardened deposits of bacteria from the roots of the teeth, which will allow your gum tissue to healthily reattach and provide the roots with much-needed protection.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
Our Biolase soft tissue laser allows us to take gum disease treatment to an entirely new level. Instead of needing to undergo invasive gum surgery, our team can utilize our soft tissue laser to remove any severely infected or damaged gum tissue without having to touch the healthy tissue. Once the procedure is complete, only healthy gums will remain, helping the foundation of your smile recover from periodontitis without requiring you to undergo a lengthy recovery period.
Antibiotic Treatment
In combination with scaling and root planing or laser periodontal treatment, we may also recommend antibiotics. Instead of giving you a pill that you need to take every day for multiple weeks, we utilize Arestin. This method involves packing the source of the infection (the pockets of the gums) with small microspheres that will gradually release medication over the course of two weeks. That way, you don’t have to worry about remembering to take any extra medications.
