Ultrasonic scaling technology is used in scaling and root planing procedures that treats periodontal disease. It reduces the treatment time and is more efficient at removing dental plaque and bacteria. Patients will experience less tissue trauma providing for a more comfortable treatment.

Scaling removes tartar, plaque and bacteria from the visible tooth surface as well as below the gum line. The procedure is traditionally done with a metal instrument but can cause pain and trauma to the gum tissue and tooth. With ultrasonic scaling, the pain is reduced significantly while effectively removing the tartar buildup. What’s more, patients will spend less time in the chair as this technology provides for a more efficient procedure.
With less trauma to the gum tissue, you’ll feel less discomfort during and after the procedure and gum tissue will heal faster.
