Scaling and root planing at Owens Dental is a meticulous dental procedure aimed at combating periodontal (gum) disease by deeply cleaning beneath the gumline. Our dentists and skilled hygiene team are experts in this non-surgical treatment, designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and roots. By smoothing the roots’ surfaces, we can remove bacterial toxins and provide a healthy foundation for the gums to reattach to the teeth, effectively halting the progression of gum disease.
This procedure is crucial for:
- Addressing the early stages of gum disease before it advances
- Removing harmful bacteria and deposits from below the gumline
- Promoting healing and reattachment of the gums to the teeth
- Preventing potential tooth loss and other complications associated with gum disease
During your treatment, comfort and effective care are our top priorities. We utilize the latest techniques to ensure the process is as painless and efficient as possible, with local anesthesia often used to minimize discomfort.
The benefits of scaling and root planing include:
- Improved gum health and reduced inflammation
- Decrease in pocket depth between the gums and teeth
- Prevention of further dental issues and potential tooth loss
- Fresher breath and a cleaner feeling mouth
