Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Periodontal deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to treat gum disease.
When gum disease progresses beyond what a routine cleaning can address, a deep cleaning — also called scaling and root planing — removes bacterial deposits from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to support tissue reattachment. At Arizona Biltmore Dentistry, deep cleaning is a carefully sequenced procedure performed with patient comfort as a primary consideration.
Post-op care instructions are available for deep cleaning procedures.
