Scaling & Root Planing
Deep Cleaning with Purpose: Tackling Gum Disease at Its Source
The first step in treating gum disease often begins with a deep cleaning — specifically, scaling and root planing. These non-surgical procedures target harmful plaque, tartar, and bacteria trapped below the gum line that regular cleanings can’t reach.
Deep Cleaning with Purpose: Tackling Gum Disease at Its Source
Following a detailed exam and x-rays, our team carefully removes these irritants using advanced ultrasonic tools. Scalingeliminates buildup along the tooth root, while root planing smooths the root surface to promote healing and prevent future bacterial buildup. In some cases, we may recommend antimicrobial rinses or localized antibiotics to further support your recovery.
When pockets between teeth and gums become too deep to clean at home, this treatment helps stop disease progression, prevent tooth loss, and even improve overall wellness — as gum bacteria can affect heart and respiratory health. An added bonus? Fresher breath and a brighter smile.

Dr Nagpal gave nice clear explanations of everything that was happening. Enough pain meds that I didn't really feel a thing. Great access, if I had questions during the healing process. Quick and efficient follow-ups! All in all (considering it was dental work) a great experience.Gary Hunt
Dr Nagpal is an excellent health care provider. Prior to, and throughout surgical dental procedures, she gave clear explanations of forthcoming interventions, and gentle, individual attentive approach and care, inquiring often about her client's wellbeing. I highly recommend her for her skillful treatment, availability to her clients after appointments and great outcomes resulting from her clinical management.Wadieh Yacoub
