Deep cleaning is a procedure that removes hardened minerals, such as plaque and tartar, from your teeth. This process helps reduce inflammation in your gums and can prevent periodontitis.Â
Tooth scaling and root planing (SRP) are standard techniques used during deep cleaning. It is intended for people with mild to moderate periodontitis.
Taking care of your teeth and gums is essential for a healthy mouth. While regular brushing and flossing are important, you sometimes need extra help to maintain optimal oral health. That’s where deep cleaning comes in.Â
A crown lengthening procedure is necessary when the visible tooth area is not enough to support a dental crown. Dental crowns are used to cover and protect damaged teeth, preserving their shape, size, and strength. However, the crown may not fit properly if the tooth surface is insufficient, leading to instability and discomfort.
Crown lengthening helps reduce gum tissue to expose more tooth surface area, ensuring the crown can be securely attached.
This procedure can also address several dental issues, including:
In addition to these benefits, crown lengthening can enhance your smile's appearance, boost your confidence, and prevent further damage or decay in the affected tooth. However, it is essential to consult your dentist to determine if this procedure suits you and your unique dental needs.
Gingival grafting, or gum grafting, is a procedure that addresses exposed tooth roots and enhances the gum line's volume. This dental treatment is perfect for individuals experiencing gum recession or thinning.Â
Gum recession is a condition characterized by the gradual withdrawal of gum tissue from the teeth, ultimately exposing the tooth roots. Various factors contribute to gum recession, including age, genetics, and overly aggressive brushing.Â
An exposed tooth root can result in sensitivity, discomfort, and even tooth loss. The primary objective of gum grafting is to replenish lost tissue and avert further dental deterioration.
