Periodontal Cleaning & Polishing
Precision care to prevent gum disease, eliminate bacteria, and polish your smile.
About Periodontal Cleaning & Polishing
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Over time, bacterial build-up can lead to inflammation, bad breath, and deep "pockets" around your teeth. Our complete hygiene process addresses both visible surface stains and hidden bacteria below the gumline.
Using gentle ultrasonic scalers and precision hand tools, we clear away stubborn calculus (hardened tartar), smooth the tooth roots to encourage healthy gum reattachment, and finish with a high-lustre polish.
For gums that are already inflamed or forming deep pockets, we'll tailor a deeper cleaning and a simple maintenance schedule to get your gum health back on track.
