Scaling and Root Planing

Expert dental care in Santa Maria, CA

Back to All Services

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease by removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline and smoothing the root surfaces of the teeth.

Unlike a routine cleaning, which addresses the surfaces above and just below the gumline, scaling and root planing goes deeper to clean the pockets that form between the teeth and gums when gum disease is present.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia for your comfort and may be completed in one or more appointments depending on the extent of the disease. Most patients experience significant improvement in gum health following treatment.
