What is scaling and root planing?

It is a deep cleaning procedure for gum disease that removes hardened plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to support proper gum reattachment.

How is scaling and root planing different from a regular teeth cleaning?

While a regular cleaning removes plaque above the gums, scaling and root planing treats buildup below the gumline, focusing on managing gum infection and inflammation when routine cleaning is no longer sufficient.

How much does scaling and root planing cost in Oakville?

Pricing is typically discussed per quadrant (or area of the mouth). The typical range is $5 to $250 per quadrant, depending on the severity of the gum disease and the time required.
