Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

Gum disease is a common but progressive condition that, if left untreated, can lead to receding gums, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss. When routine dental cleanings aren't enough to combat active gum disease (periodontitis), our expert team at LAVAAN may recommend a specialized, non-surgical deep cleaning known as Scaling and Root Planing.

This highly effective therapy is the gold standard for treating periodontal disease and is completed in two meticulous steps:

Scaling: Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove hardened plaque (tartar) and bacterial toxins from the surfaces of your teeth, both above and below the gumline, reaching down into the periodontal pockets.

Root Planing: We then gently smooth the rough surfaces of your tooth roots. This critical step removes the jagged areas where bacteria love to hide, allowing your healthy gum tissue to heal and reattach firmly to your teeth.

We understand that the phrase "deep cleaning" can sometimes cause dental anxiety, but your comfort is always our top priority. Using state-of-the-art technology and gentle, numbing techniques, our highly skilled hygienists ensure the procedure is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
