Experience a deeper, gentler clean that removes stubborn plaque and bacteria while promoting healthier gums. We combine ultrasonic cleaning with laser therapy for a spotless, infection-free smile.
Laser scaling is a modern evolution of the traditional dental cleaning. While standard scaling removes visible tartar and plaque, adding laser therapy allows us to target bacteria hidden deep within the gum pockets where brushes cannot reach. The focused light energy vaporizes bacteria and infected tissue while sterilizing the area, promoting faster gum reattachment and healing. This procedure uses ultrasonic scalers to vibrate deposits off the teeth, followed by high-tech laser decontamination. It is an essential preventive treatment that halts gum disease, eliminates chronic bad breath, and leaves your teeth feeling smoother and looking significantly brighter.
No, it is generally more comfortable than traditional deep cleaning. The laser is gentle and often reduces the need for anesthesia. It also seals nerve endings, reducing post-cleaning sensitivity.
For most patients, we recommend a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or build tartar quickly, we may suggest a visit every 3 to 4 months.
Not at all. The ultrasonic tools and lasers are specifically designed to target tartar and bacteria without harming the hard enamel surface of your teeth.
Scaling and polishing remove external stains from coffee, tea, and food, restoring your teeth to their natural brightness. However, it is a cleaning procedure, not a chemical bleaching treatment.
Lasers provide a significant advantage by killing 99% of bacteria in the gum pockets and stimulating tissue regeneration. This leads to faster healing and better long-term gum health compared to mechanical scraping alone.
