Scaling & Root Planing
This deep-cleaning procedure removes built-up plaque and tartar from below the gumline, then smooths the root surfaces to discourage future bacterial buildup. Performed under local anesthetic for your comfort, scaling and root planing allows the gum tissue to heal and reattach to the teeth, halting the progression of periodontal disease.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
Our practice uses the Brasseler BLU Dental Microlaser to deliver precise, minimally invasive periodontal treatment. This advanced laser targets and removes infected tissue and bacteria with exceptional accuracy, less bleeding, and little to no downtime, all while promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort compared to traditional methods.
Antibiotic Treatment
For more advanced gum infections, we can use a locally applied antibiotic (called Arestin) placed directly into the periodontal pockets following scaling and root planing. This treatment targets bacteria at the source of the infection for weeks after your appointment and works alongside your deep cleaning to significantly reduce pocket depth and improve the overall success of your periodontal therapy.
