Creating Beautiful Smiles for a Long Time
Unity Dental has been providing quality dental services since 2003. We believe maintaining healthy gums is an important part of protecting your teeth and your smile for years to come.
When plaque and tartar accumulate below the gumline, a regular cleaning may not be enough. A professional deep cleaning can remove buildup from areas that are difficult to reach with normal brushing and flossing.
Depending on your individual condition, our dental team may also recommend localized antibiotic treatment for certain gum pocket infections. Our goal is to help you maintain clean, healthy gums and support your overall oral health.
What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, is a nonsurgical periodontal treatment used to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.
Unlike a routine dental cleaning, deep cleaning focuses on areas beneath the gums where bacteria and buildup can accumulate.
During treatment, the dental team carefully cleans the tooth surfaces and smooths the root surfaces. This can help create a cleaner environment around the gums and make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene at home.
Your dentist will determine whether deep cleaning is appropriate based on an examination of your teeth and gums.
Services to Keep Your Gums Healthy
Unity Dental provides several treatments and services to help address gum and oral health concerns.
Deep Cleaning
Also known as scaling and root planing, deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline and along the tooth roots.
Local Antibiotic Treatment
For certain localized gum pocket infections, local antibiotic treatment may be recommended. Slow-release antibiotic treatment, such as Arestin, may be used when appropriate as part of periodontal care.
Single & Surgical Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved or removal is necessary, Unity Dental provides both single and surgical extractions.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment may be used for certain dental and gum procedures, including treatment of specific areas of discoloration or blue spots when clinically appropriate.
Laser Gum Recontouring
Laser gum recontouring can be used to reshape excess or uneven gum tissue in appropriate cases, helping create a more balanced appearance around the teeth.
Protect Your Dental Health
Good oral health begins with daily care. Brushing and flossing are essential, but they may not be enough to address gum disease that has progressed below the gumline.
If plaque and tartar have accumulated around or beneath your gums, professional periodontal treatment may be necessary.
Deep cleaning can help remove deposits that cannot be effectively removed through normal brushing and flossing alone.
Regular dental examinations and professional cleanings allow our team to monitor your gums and identify potential problems early.
Signs You May Need Gum Treatment
Gum problems can sometimes develop without significant discomfort. It's important to pay attention to changes in your oral health.
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red or swollen gums
- Tender or sensitive gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in the way your teeth fit together
- Increased spaces between teeth
- Gum pockets or other concerns identified
Early evaluation can help determine whether additional gum treatment is necessary.
