Scaling & Root Planing
To treat advanced stages of gum disease, scaling and root planing need to be performed. This process removes plaque from the deep areas underneath the gums, an area that no toothbrush or traditional cleaning can address. We start by gently scaling the teeth using a dedicated dental instrument. Following this step, root planing is completed to smooth the roots so they can reattach to the gums. Depending on the extent of your gum disease, you may need to complete follow-up deep cleanings after your gums have had time to heal.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Instead of using traditional metal dental instruments to perform periodontal treatments, our office utilizes a diode laser. Using concentrated light energy, the device enables Dr. Goodman to perform highly detailed gum therapy more comfortably and efficiently. It also allows our team to maintain healthy tissue and cause less bleeding during the procedure. This makes the healing process shorter and more comfortable, ensuring you can resume your day-to-day activities with less interruption.
