Gum Disease Treatment with
Scaling & Root Planing Therapy

Gum disease prevention and treatment options



Scaling and Root Planing in Berkeley, CA

Treating Gum Disease with Scaling and Root Planing

Patients diagnosed with gum disease can restore the health of their gums with scaling and root planing therapy. Dr. Ryan Horn, Dr. Barron Hong, and Dr. Meetu Moody and Dr. Anand Maharathi are all trained to perform this nonsurgical periodontal procedure. The treatment involves removing plaque and bacteria around the gums and smoothing out the surface of the teeth using ultrasonic tools. The deep cleaning process allows the gums to reattach to the surface of the teeth, eliminating periodontal pockets by up to three millimeters after a single treatment.


What to Expect with Scaling and Root Planing Therapy

Scaling and root planing is a very effective non-surgical treatment for patients with gum disease. However, it is not without its limitations.

If full results are not achieved with this treatment, we may need to use a diode laser to remove diseased tissue around the gums, eliminate bacteria and to stimulate the healing process. We will follow up with a comprehensive evaluation to determine what type of maintenance program will be most appropriate for you.
