Teeth Scaling & Root Planning

Deep Cleaning for a Healthier, Stronger Smile

Gum health is the foundation of a beautiful smile. At Kristal Dental, we offer scaling and root planing—a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from below the gum line. This treatment is essential for preventing or managing gum disease and restoring optimal oral health.

Supragingival Scaling
  • This type of scaling removes plaque and tartar above the gum line (on the visible tooth surface).

    • ✅ Ideal for early-stage gum issues or regular maintenance

    • 🧼 Often included in routine dental cleanings

Root Planing
      • After scaling, root planing smooths the tooth roots to help the gums reattach and prevent further bacterial buildup.

        • 🪥 Essential for healing gum tissues

        • ⏳ Slows or halts gum disease progression

Laser-Assisted Scaling
  • A modern approach using dental lasers to enhance cleaning, reduce discomfort, and promote faster healing.

    • 🔬 Minimally invasive and precise

    • 💡 Ideal for sensitive gums or deep pockets

Full-Mouth Debridement
      • Used when there’s extensive tartar buildup, this initial cleaning clears the way for more detailed scaling and examination.

        • 🛠️ Prepares the mouth for more precise treatment

        • 🌿 Often followed by scaling & root planing in later visits
