Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing eliminate bacteria and allow teeth and gums to heal from infection, so you can enjoy better gum health and a more attractive smile. As a two-part process, we will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums before smoothing out the roots and reducing the risk of future bacteria accumulating.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
The laser’s concentrated beam of light precisely targets diseased tissue while leaving all healthy portions alone. It quickly sanitizes the problem areas and encourages faster healing compared to traditional methods, all while dramatically reducing bleeding, swelling, and the risk of future infection.
