We prioritize your comfort at every step, taking the time to ensure thorough healing and providing the honest, unhurried care necessary to stop the progression of gum disease and preserve your natural teeth.

Benefits of Deep Cleaning (SRP)

Scaling and root planing is a critical intervention that goes beyond aesthetics to restore the health and integrity of your gums and bone.

  • Effective Control of Gum Disease:
    SRP interrupts the cycle of infection by removing the bacterial deposits and toxins that cause chronic inflammation and tissue damage.
  • Reduction of Swelling and Bleeding:
    By eliminating irritants beneath the gums, this treatment allows your tissues to heal, significantly reducing gum tenderness and bleeding during brushing.
  • Protection of Supporting Bone:
    Early intervention with deep cleaning can halt the silent destruction of the bone that holds your teeth in place, helping you avoid tooth loss.
  • Improved Breath and Comfort:
    Removing bacteria from deep periodontal pockets eliminates the primary cause of persistent bad breath and oral discomfort, boosting your confidence.

What to Expect in a Deep Cleaning Treatment

At BAO Dentistry, we approach deep cleaning as a patient-centered clinical process focused on healing and transparency.

  • Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation:
    Dr. Ana Garrido begins by measuring "pocket depths" and using digital imaging to assess the extent of the infection and determine the most effective treatment plan.
  • Precision Scaling and Root Planing:
    After ensuring the area is completely numb with local anesthesia, we carefully remove tartar from below the gumline (scaling) and smooth the tooth roots (planing) to encourage the gums to reattach.
  • Personalized Healing Roadmap:
    Depending on your needs, treatment may be completed in sections. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and a follow-up plan to monitor your healing and maintain long-term stability.

FAQ Deep Cleaning (SRP)

A regular cleaning focuses on the visible surfaces of the teeth. A deep cleaning (SRP) goes deep beneath the gumline to remove bacteria and toxins that are causing infection and bone loss.

To ensure your comfort, we typically use local anesthesia to numb the area. Most patients feel only pressure during the procedure and experience only mild, temporary sensitivity afterward.

SRP is often a foundational treatment. After your deep cleaning, we usually transition you to a “Periodontal Maintenance” schedule to prevent the infection from returning.

Untreated gum disease is progressive. Without SRP, the infection can worsen, leading to significant bone loss, loose teeth, and eventual tooth loss.

Depending on the severity of the infection, deep cleaning is often divided into two appointments (half of the mouth per visit) to ensure thoroughness and patient comfort.

Yes! Chronic bad breath is often caused by bacteria trapped in deep gum pockets. Removing these deposits is one of the most effective ways to refresh your breath.
