Closed scaling and root planing service
Keep your smile healthy
This is a deep cleaning performed using curettes, instruments specifically designed to access the bottom of the sulcus, which is the inner part of the gum. The goal is to completely remove deposits of calculus (tartar), bacterial plaque, and accumulated inflamed tissue.
The purpose of this procedure is to leave the surface of the tooth root completely smooth, as it often becomes rough after calculus removal. To achieve a uniform texture, curettes are used along with special burs for root planing. Once the curettes have been used, a scaler is employed. This ultrasound device uses vibrations to help dislodge larger, more stubborn calculus.
This treatment is performed using a closed access approach, meaning there’s no need to lift surgical flaps.
