What is Scaling & Root Planing

What Is Scaling & Root Planing?

Scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning, is a non-surgical periodontal treatment that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces of the teeth. The procedure helps the gums reattach to the teeth, reduces pocket depth, and creates a healthier environment that is easier to maintain at home. It is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for gum disease and can often reverse early to moderate cases entirely. Our skilled hygiene team carries it out with comfort in mind throughout. Treatment is usually completed across two visits.

Our Scaling & Root Planing Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Signs You May Need Scaling & Root Planing

Notice any of these? Schedule a visit — early care is easier care.

Stop Gum Disease Progression

Removing bacteria from below the gumline halts the advance of periodontal disease before it causes serious damage.

Reduce Pocket Depth

Smoothing the root surfaces helps the gums reattach more closely to the teeth, shrinking the spaces where bacteria thrive.

Protect Tooth Stability

Treating gum disease early preserves the bone and tissue that keep your teeth firmly in place.

Fresher Breath

Eliminating the bacteria responsible for chronic bad breath leads to noticeably cleaner, fresher breath that lasts. Scaling and root planing is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for gum disease and can often reverse early to moderate periodontitis.

Dr Brendon and his whole staff are always great. Dr Brendon is highly knowledgeable, skilled and real accommodating to my special dental needs as I am getting older and have concerns with receding gums and tooth sensitivities. I am grateful that I can trust westgrove dental and that Dr Branden is young enough to continue with my dental needs into my older years. And the new office remodel is beautiful and just minutes from my College Park East home.

Followed Dr. Skenandore from another office as I was so impressed with his honesty and skill level. I am so glad I did. My previous doctor tried to talk me into gum surgery and a crown and it turned out all I needed was a filling. It is so hard to find a dentist you can trust but I found this in Dr. Skenandore. His staff is friendly and his office offers in house insurance.

I had a root canal by Dr Tsai . He was amazing. I literally had no pain during the procedure! Afterward Dr Skenandore prepared the same tooth for a crown. I am very pleased with the care and treatment I received.

Still true! Best dental care ever. I love Dr. Brandon, and all the staff. They are the best. Something a bit off-putting was that insurance person in the front office asked for a deposit for root canal scheduled 7 months from now. I will pay it shortly, but this could have waited until my next scheduled cleaning in 5 months.

Outstanding Dentists! Drs. Brandon and Iris Skenandor have taken over the office of Curtis Platt in West Garden Grove. I took my broken tooth to Brandon, who squeezed me in same day, sorted me out with a temporary crown - and no root canal by the way - and it has not bothered me since. He and Iris are friendly, professional, and welcoming new patients. Very casual and fun atmosphere, with the latest equipment. Clearly a home run! I have found my new permanent dentist.

My filling fell out while eating a salad, and after my (now ex) dentist told me he wouldn’t be able to see me right away, I found the wonderful Doctors and Staff at Westgrove Dental! Not only did they see me same day they were so friendly and easy to work with! Thank you so much for all you do!

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at 714-893-2453.

Is scaling and root planing the same as a regular cleaning?

No, a routine cleaning addresses the tooth surfaces and gumline. Scaling and root planing reaches below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to treat active gum disease.

Can it reverse my gum disease?

Scaling and root planing is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments available and can often reverse early to moderate cases. Outcomes depend on how far the disease has progressed.

How many visits will I need?

Treatment is usually completed across two appointments, with half the mouth treated at each. A follow-up visit then confirms the tissue is healing properly.

How much does scaling and root planing in Garden Grove, CA, cost?

The cost depends on how many quadrants need treatment, and our team reviews fees with you beforehand. Our in-house dental savings plan reduces costs for uninsured patients.

Does insurance cover scaling and root planing in Garden Grove, CA?
