Scaling and root planing at Care One Dental is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from beneath your gumline.
Your tooth roots are smoothed to help gums reattach and reduce pockets where bacteria can thrive. This non-surgical treatment is often the first step in controlling gum disease and preventing its progression.
Periodontal maintenance is an ongoing cleaning program designed for patients who have been treated for gum disease.
These visits go beyond routine cleanings to carefully monitor gum health and remove bacteria from deep pockets. Regular maintenance, including deep cleaning at Care One Dental, helps prevent reinfection and keeps your gums stable over time.
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore receding gum tissue and protect exposed tooth roots. Tissue is typically taken from another area of the mouth or a donor source and placed where it’s needed. This treatment improves both oral health and the appearance of your smile, while also reducing sensitivity.
A gingivectomy involves removing excess or diseased gum tissue to eliminate deep pockets and improve gum contours. This procedure reduces harmful bacteria and also makes it easier to keep your teeth and gums clean. This can also be performed to enhance the overall appearance of your smile by creating a more even gumline.
A frenectomy is a simple procedure that removes or reshapes the frenum, the small band of tissue connecting the lips or tongue to the gums. When this tissue is too tight or thick, it can cause tongue-tie or lip-tie, leading to breastfeeding and speech problems, gum recession, and smile gaps. Releasing it can improve oral functions, support gum health, and enhance comfort.
