Dental Cleaning
Regularly scheduled teeth cleaning appointments are an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene. Not only do they leave your teeth feeling sparkling clean, but they can also help to detect and prevent serious dental issues.
What to expect for
Routine Cleaning
During a routine teeth cleaning, your dentist or dental hygienist will remove built-up plaque, tartar, and other debris that can lead to cavities and gum disease. They will also polish your teeth to remove any surface stains and provide you with tips on how to improve your at-home oral care routine. By attending these appointments, you can ensure that your smile stays healthy and bright for years to come. So don't put off scheduling your next teeth cleaning - your mouth will thank you!
Gum Infection Therapy / Deep Cleaning
Gum infection therapy is a dental procedure that involves deep cleaning of the teeth and gums to prevent or treat gum disease. It is also referred to as scaling and root planing. Scaling removes plaque and tartar build-up from the teeth and the gumline, while root planing smooths the tooth's root surfaces to help the gums reattach to the teeth.
Your Dentist or hygienist may recommend gum infection therapy if a patient has moderate to advanced gum disease or if they have not had regular dental cleanings in some time. Gum disease is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss and other health problems. It is caused by bacteria that build up in the gums, which can be difficult to remove with regular brushing and flossing alone. Gum infection therapy is a comprehensive treatment that can help prevent gum disease from progressing and restore oral health.

What is
Laser Treatment
Dental laser therapy for the gums is a non-invasive treatment that uses a dental laser to treat gum disease. The dental laser can remove diseased tissue in the gums without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. By targeting and eliminating infected tissue, bacterial colonies are destroyed, and the gums begin to heal.
Benefits of laser therapy
Dental laser therapy has several benefits, including a decrease in bleeding and swelling of the gums compared to traditional gum surgery methods. It also requires minimal recovery time, is not as invasive, and can promote faster healing. Dental laser therapy is usually used for patients with mild to severe gum disease, and it can also be used to treat conditions like gum recession, cold sores, canker sores, and excessive gum tissue.
