Start with a gum-health exam. We measure your gums, check buildup and bone support, then explain whether you need a regular cleaning, scaling and root planing, or maintenance care.

For healthy gums or mild buildup when the gums do not need below-the-gumline treatment.
For gum disease when plaque and tartar need to be removed from deeper areas around the tooth roots.
For patients who need more frequent gum-health visits after deep cleaning or gum disease treatment.
For more complex gum disease, bone loss, loose teeth, or periodontal needs beyond routine care.
Clear answers about SRP, bleeding gums, comfort, insurance, and what kind of cleaning you may need.
