Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing) in Aurora, CO
Treat gum disease at the source with scaling and root planing, a deep clean below the gumline.
A deeper clean for healthier gums
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical treatment for gum disease (periodontitis). It goes beyond a routine cleaning by removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces so your gums can reattach to your teeth.
Comfortable treatment, done in stages
We measure pocket depths at your exam to determine whether a deep cleaning is right for you. Treatment is typically completed in sections over one or two visits, with local anesthesia used throughout to keep you comfortable.
Know the warning signs
Common signs you may need a deep cleaning:
- Bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Pockets forming between teeth and gums
Treats the problem at the source
Scaling and root planing removes bacteria below the gumline to halt periodontitis and support healthier gums.
Comfortable, noticeable results
Local anesthesia keeps treatment pain-free, and most patients see healthier gums within weeks of completion.
Protect your gums for life
After scaling and root planing, we create a personalized maintenance schedule to keep your gums healthy and monitor your progress over time, helping protect the foundation around your teeth and reduce the risk of future tooth loss.
