Scaling & Root Planing

Treating advanced gum disease starts with scaling and root planing, both of which are designed to remove plaque and tartar from areas of teeth that sit below the gumline. At-home care and professional cleanings cannot reach these areas, which is why scaling is a crucial part of treating and managing your gum disease. Once we’ve cleared away plaque, Dr. Kuykendall will perform root planing, which is designed to smooth out the roots of teeth, promote reattachment to the gums, and reduce future gum recession.
Diode Laser Bacterial Reduction

Plaque develops as a result of oral bacteria consuming sugar and starch. With the help of the DenMat SOL Diode laser, we can effectively reduce bacteria from developing along the gumline. One of the perks of using a dental laser is its precision. It makes it easy to target specific areas of the gums and teeth. Furthermore, the laser cauterizes the gums immediately after contact, effectively reducing the healing time needed after treatment.
Periodontal Maintenance

Gum disease treatment is not something that can be done in a single appointment. The gums need time to heal in between visits, which means you’ll need to come in for retreatment every three to four months. These appointments are designed to not only complete your gum therapy but also to confirm that treatment is working as planned. If the condition of your gums is not improving, Dr. Kuykendall will make adjustments as needed.
