We help you address gum disease

Scaling and root planing, often called a “deep cleaning,” is one of the most common and effective treatments we recommend for gum disease before it becomes severe. This treatment focuses on cleaning beneath your gum line, removing plaque and tartar build-up, and improving your gum health.

As our experienced periodontist, Dr. G. Eric Li is the right person to help you prevent and address gum disease in Suwanee, Georgia. We offer an incredible patient experience, making your scaling and root planing treatment easy and effective. We invite you to call Peach State Laser Periodontics & Implants at 770-310-7822 to schedule a consultation and get started.

What is scaling and root planing?

Think of scaling and root planing as an extra thorough dental cleaning. Unlike your routine dental cleaning, scaling and root planing cleans beneath your gums and includes two main steps:

  • Scaling

    We remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surface.

  • Root Planing

    We clean the roots of your teeth, smoothing them to remove bacterial toxins.

Dr G. Eric Li

Why scaling and root planing?

Plaque is always forming on your teeth. Regular dental cleanings, along with thorough brushing and flossing at home, can help keep plaque under control. However, if plaque and calculus advance beyond the gum line, they cannot be removed anymore with regular brushing, and gum disease and periodontitis can develop. In this case, scaling and root planing is a great way to address the issue before it causes greater damage.
