Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a two-step process that typically takes place over the course of one or two appointments. First, Dr. Wheeler or Dr. Vega will clean the surface of your teeth, as far down as the pockets of your gums, getting rid of any plaque and tartar accumulation. Next, we’ll smooth out the roots of your teeth, allowing your gum tissue to healthily reattach and provide this vulnerable area with protection. With fewer harmful bacteria lurking in your mouth, your symptoms won’t be able to progress and may even disappear, depending on how severe the condition was to begin with.
Laser Gum Disease Treatment
For more advanced gum disease cases, we may recommend laser gum disease treatment, which can be incorporated into a deep cleaning. Our soft tissue laser allows us to precisely remove severely infected, inflamed, and impacted gum tissue, only leaving the healthy tissue within the mouth. This tissue can then reconnect with the teeth, protecting the vulnerable roots and controlling the accumulation of harmful oral bacteria within the mouth.
