Process
Initial Assessment: We start with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to evaluate gum health, measure pocket depths, and identify areas of infection or bone loss.
Deep Cleaning: Scaling and root planing are performed to remove plaque and tartar below the gum line, smooth root surfaces, and allow gums to heal and reattach.
Adjunctive Care: In some cases, we may recommend antimicrobial rinses or localized antibiotics to support healing and reduce bacterial buildup.
