Root Planing

Each person's oral health is unique and the stage and current condition of the teeth and gums will dictate how involved a deep cleaning is, as well as how long it takes to heal. Usually, a deep cleaning is done one-half of the mouth at a time and healing takes about a day or two.

During a deep cleaning we will numb the areas of your gums where we are working, which will keep you from feeling any discomfort during the procedure. Using a special instrument, we will remove any tartar build up that is found on tooth roots below the gumline and we ensure the tooth root gets a smooth finish to allow the gum tissues to start re-attaching itself. Our office uses a special ultrasonic instrument that will ensure the quickest and most comfortable deep cleaning possible.
