Halt and even reverse gum disease with scaling & root planing

Scaling and root planing are thorough cleanings without surgery for periodontal (gum) disease. During these deep cleanings, the gums are numbed, and specialized tools are used to clean deep pockets below the gumline where standard cleaning can't reach.

Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the tooth's surface, while root planing smooths the tooth's roots to help the gums reattach and stay healthy.

During the scaling process, we will use special instruments to remove the plaque and tartar from the root and surface of the crown.

During the root planing process, we will remove the dentin and cementum and then use special tools to smooth the root of your tooth. Doing so will help reduce the possibility of bacteria from developing.

After 18 months of trying to find a dentist for my son, age 19, with autism, I have been truly blessed to find the most patient, kind, and respectful office staff in a very long time. Thank you for a fantastic patient experience. Truly a blessing.

Absolutely fantastic!! I had an emergency, and Dr. Platt was able to see me within 90 minutes. He was able to extract the tooth right there. All the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. He is now my new dentist.

Very friendly office staff. Dr. Platt is personable and knowledgeable. My hygienist, Bonnie, was extremely gentle, proficient, and kind. I knew I was getting great care, and Bonnie took the time to hand scale and measure each tooth.

It was the best dental visit I’ve had. I almost went to sleep in the chair after getting a cavity fixed and having crowns put in. There was NO PAIN AT ALL! I definitely recommend their services. Dr. Ryan, Kashel, and all of the staff were great!

What a great dental practice! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Each room has a view of the beautiful botanical garden, which is stunning and relaxing. My dental hygienist, “Bonnie,” was so friendly and informative about my cleaning procedure. Dr. Platt is a warm and caring dentist who made me feel comfortable and welcome! I highly recommend this dental practice!

I came in as a new patient with a broken tooth, and Dr. Platt was ready within minutes to remove it pain-free. This was hands down the best dental experience I’ve had, and it will be my new dental office from here on out.
