Gum health is an essential part of your overall dental wellness. At Rocky Ridge Dental Associates, we offer scaling and root planing as a targeted treatment for patients showing signs of gum disease. This non-surgical deep cleaning procedure is designed to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping to reduce inflammation and support long-term oral health.

Scaling and root planing is often recommended when regular cleanings are no longer enough to manage periodontal concerns. By removing harmful buildup and smoothing the root surfaces, this treatment helps the gums reattach to the teeth and heal more effectively. Our dentists and team use a gentle and detail-oriented approach to ensure both your comfort and clinical success.

Protect Your Smile from Gum Disease

Gum disease can progress quietly, but over time, it can lead to serious complications like tooth loss or bone damage. Scaling and root planing provides a proactive solution for addressing these issues before they advance. With advanced tools and techniques, we are able to perform the treatment with accuracy while minimizing discomfort.

Benefits of scaling and root planing include:

  • Effective removal of bacteria and plaque under the gums
  • Reduced gum inflammation and bleeding
  • Smoother root surfaces that discourage future buildup
  • Improved breath and overall oral hygiene
  • Support for gum reattachment and tissue healing

This treatment is an important part of periodontal care and can help prevent the need for more extensive procedures in the future. Whether you have early-stage gingivitis or signs of more advanced periodontitis, our team will provide a personalized care plan based on your needs.
