Resecure Your Smile with Scaling and Root Planing in Houston

Your gums are the anchor for your teeth, holding your smile steady. Without their firm foundation, even the brightest smile can falter. That’s why maintaining gum health is essential.

If your smile has come a little unmoored due to gum disease, deep cleaning dental care in Houston can help your gums reattach to your teeth. You can trust Parkway Modern Dentistry to preserve this vital anchor of your oral health.

What Is a Dental Deep Cleaning?

Over time, plaque and tartar buildup can create the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. Left unchecked, this leads to gum disease, which can cause inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Scaling and root planing (SRP) targets this bacterial haven, removing the stubborn buildup below the gum line and smoothing the tooth roots to deter bacteria. With this gum disease treatment, our dentists in Houston can halt the condition in its tracks.

What to Expect from Scaling and Root Planing in Houston

Using our diagnostic tools, we’ll assess the health of your gums and determine if scaling and root planing is right for you.

A local anesthetic will gently numb your gums. If you’re anxious, we also offer sedation dentistry.

Specialized tools carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from below and above the gum line.

We smooth the roots of your teeth to help gum tissue reattach to your teeth, closing pockets where bacteria can hide.

Tailored recovery tips and ongoing monitoring from our team ensure your gums heal beautifully.
