Scaling & Root Planing Procedure

Take Back Your Oral Health With Scaling & Root Planing

Gum Disease is Sneaky

At first, gum disease doesn’t seem like a big deal. A little bleeding here, some tenderness there—it’s easy to dismiss. But if left untreated, gum disease can escalate into serious problems like receding gums, loose teeth, or even tooth loss. And it doesn’t just stop in your mouth—gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other health issues. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to take action. But don’t worry—we’ve got the solution.

Scaling & Root Planing

Think of scaling and root planing as a reset for your gums. This two-step procedure is designed to stop gum disease in its tracks, giving your gums the fresh start they need to heal and stay healthy. Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline—especially in areas a toothbrush can’t reach. Root Planing smooths out the tooth roots, making it harder for bacteria to hide and easier for your gums to reattach. It’s simple, effective, and—best of all—completely tailored to your needs.
