Good to Know

Questions, answered

A standard cleaning removes surface stains and plaque above the gumline. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a highly specialized therapeutic procedure that travels beneath the gumline to actively remove hardened bacterial infection calcified to your tooth roots.

We reserve dedicated equipment and substantial doctor periods for our laser treatments. We require a strict 48 hour cancellation notice to avoid a $125.00 fee. You can contact us instantly via text, email, or phone.

Yes, it is explicitly designed for maximum patient comfort. The Waterlase laser combines a precise spray of water and laser energy to vaporize bacteria cleanly without generating the high heat or intense friction that causes tooth sensitivity.

Early gingivitis can be fully reversed with excellent cleanings. Advanced periodontitis involves bone loss and cannot be fully “cured,” but it can be managed successfully through our specialized Periodontal Maintenance schedules to stop the disease from causing tooth loss.

Most patients actively managing gum disease benefit heavily from a specialized maintenance visit every three to four months to safely disrupt new bacterial colonies before they can calcify deep beneath your gum lines.
