Deep Clean

Sometimes, bacteria can accumulate under the gums, making it crucial to restore gum health by thoroughly cleaning the area. Our deep cleaning service targets these issues by removing bacteria from the roots of your teeth, helping you regain a healthy gum line. Plaque, which forms daily on your teeth, can usually be removed by brushing, but it can sometimes accumulate near the gum line where it’s harder to reach. When left untreated, plaque hardens into tartar (or calculus), which can lead to further dental problems.

Deep cleaning consists of two key parts: scaling and root planing. Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, ensuring that the cleaning reaches the bottom of the periodontal pockets. After scaling, root planing smooths the roots of your teeth to encourage the gums to reattach to the teeth. Depending on the severity of your case, the procedure may take more than one visit to complete and often requires a local anesthetic to numb the area.

Unlike routine teeth cleaning, this deep cleaning process targets the bacteria and buildup in the pockets of your teeth. If you have gum disease or periodontitis, this treatment is highly recommended to help heal your gums and prevent further damage. After the procedure, you might experience some pain and discomfort for up to 48 hours. However, our team is committed to providing the best care to minimize discomfort before, during, and after treatment.
