SCALLING AND ROOT PLANNING
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure in which the hygienist removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. Root surfaces are cleaned and smoothed with specially designed instruments.
ARESTIN THERAPY
Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by a bacterial infection that can lead to the destruction of tissue and bone around your teeth which can cause tooth loss. ARESTIN® is an antibiotic treatment that comes in powder form.
GUM RECONTOURING
Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping, is a cosmetic form of dental treatment used to improve the general look of a person’s teeth. It is primarily used in cases where the individual has what is commonly known as ‘gummy smile’.
This is a condition in which the gums cover too much of the teeth, usually the front teeth, and this can leave the length of the teeth looking too short, which can affect a person’s general desire to smile.
