Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing helps treat the infection at its source by reducing plaque and tartar accumulation and bacterial deposits on the teeth and gum line. Using a two-step technique, this deep cleaning process helps the gum tissue healthily reattach to the surface of the teeth to protect the roots and prevent the infection from spreading.

Laser Periodontal Treatment

We may use our soft tissue laser during your deep cleaning treatment to remove infected gum tissue and stubborn buildup. This will leave only healthy tissue behind to reattach to the teeth, as well as kill harmful oral bacteria. Utilizing the laser helps eliminate the need for a scalpel and sutures, making your treatment more comfortable overall, but just as effective.

Antibiotic Treatment

In combination with any of the other treatments we offer, we may recommend antibiotics. Either in the form of a mouth rinse or pills, this lets you control the spread of harmful oral bacteria and receive professional-grade treatment at home.
