Cleanings

Dental cleanings should always be a part of your regular checkup with us. They don't take terribly long and a routine cleaning should be done every 6 months.

Scaling And Root Planing

This is a procedure for a patient that has gum disease and is trying to maintain their dental health and prevent losing any teeth. We administer anesthesia to effected areas and the hygienist uses instrumentation to clean the root of the tooth to remove all debris and improve the health of the surrounding tissue.
