Our goal is to restore the health of your gums with precision, care, and long-lasting results.

Non-Surgical Treatment
Scaling & Root Planing — The First Line of Defense

For many patients, the earliest stages of gum disease can be treated with a deep-cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing.

During this treatment:

  • An ultrasonic instrument gently removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line

  • The root surfaces are smoothed (planed) to help the gums reattach

  • Bacteria is reduced, promoting healthier tissue and improved healing

This non-surgical therapy is highly effective when gum disease is diagnosed early.

The Importance of After-Care

Even after a successful scaling and root planing treatment, long-term results depend on:

  • Daily brushing and flossing

  • Healthy eating habits

  • Avoiding tobacco

  • Regular professional cleanings

Consistent preventive care is essential to preventing the return of gum disease.
