Deep Cleaning For Healthier Gums And Teeth

Advanced Scaling & Root Planing Treatment

Scaling and root planing is a non surgical periodontal treatment designed to remove harmful plaque, tartar, and bacteria from beneath the gumline to help control gum disease and restore healthier gums. At Alani Dental, we provide advanced deep cleaning treatments focused on protecting long-term oral health and preventing periodontal disease progression.

When plaque and bacteria build up below the gums, they can cause inflammation, infection, bleeding, and gum recession. Scaling removes hardened deposits from the teeth and beneath the gums, while root planing smooths tooth root surfaces to help gums heal and reattach properly.

This treatment is commonly recommended for patients with early to moderate gum disease and is an important step in preventing more serious periodontal complications. At Alani Dental, we use modern techniques and patient focused care to provide comfortable and effective periodontal treatment for patients throughout Jacksonville and Fleming Island.
