Comprehensive Scaling, Root Planing & Polishing Services
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning treatment designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line. It is commonly recommended for patients with gum disease, bleeding gums, or excessive tartar accumulation. Root planing smooths the tooth roots, making it more difficult for bacteria to collect and helping the gums heal properly.
Dental polishing is the final step that removes minor surface stains and smooths the teeth, leaving your smile feeling clean, fresh, and brighter. Together, these treatments help prevent gum disease, improve oral hygiene, and support long-term dental health.
