Complete Scaling
Complete Scaling is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and bacteria from the tooth surfaces and along the gum line. Even with regular brushing and flossing, hardened deposits can accumulate over time, leading to gum disease, bad breath, and tooth decay. Using advanced ultrasonic and manual instruments, the dentist carefully cleans each tooth to eliminate stubborn buildup. The procedure is usually followed by polishing to smooth the tooth surface, helping to prevent future plaque accumulation. Complete scaling is recommended for patients experiencing bleeding gums, gum inflammation, or visible tartar deposits. Regular scaling every six months helps maintain healthy gums, fresher breath, and a cleaner, brighter smile.
Deep Scaling
Deep Scaling, also known as scaling and root planing, is an advanced dental cleaning procedure designed to treat gum disease and prevent further damage to the teeth and supporting bone. When plaque and tartar accumulate below the gum line, they can cause inflammation, infection, and gradual gum recession. Deep scaling helps remove these harmful deposits from deep periodontal pockets. During the procedure, specialized instruments are used to thoroughly clean beneath the gums and smooth the root surfaces of the teeth. This process eliminates bacteria and toxins, allowing the gums to heal and reattach firmly to the teeth. In some cases, local anesthesia may be used to ensure maximum comfort during treatment. Deep scaling is recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as bleeding gums, swollen or tender gums, bad breath, gum recession, or early stages of periodontitis.
Perio Surgeries
Perio Surgeries (Periodontal Surgeries) are advanced dental procedures performed to treat severe gum disease and restore the health of the gums and supporting bone around the teeth. When gum infection progresses beyond the early stages and deep pockets form around the teeth, non-surgical treatments like scaling may not be sufficient. In such cases, periodontal surgery becomes necessary to prevent further damage and tooth loss. Perio surgeries involve carefully cleaning infected areas beneath the gums, reducing periodontal pockets, and, when required, regenerating lost bone and soft tissue. Common periodontal procedures include flap surgery, bone grafting, gum grafting, and guided tissue regeneration. These treatments help eliminate bacteria, promote healing, and strengthen the foundation that supports your teeth.
