Scaling & Root Planing Roseville, CA

Scaling and root planing are essential treatments for managing periodontal disease before it reaches an advanced stage. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, occurs when bacteria and plaque buildup lead to inflammation and infection of the gums. If left untreated, it can result in tooth loss and other serious oral health complications. Scaling and root planing is designed to treat gum disease at its root and help you maintain healthy gums.

The process begins with scaling, which involves removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, including areas below the gum line. Tartar, or hardened plaque, cannot be removed by regular brushing or flossing, which is why professional intervention is necessary. By thoroughly cleaning the teeth and gum line, our dentist can eliminate the bacteria causing the inflammation.

The second step, root planing, focuses on smoothing the surfaces of the tooth roots. When the roots become rough due to plaque buildup, they provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Root planing smooths these areas, making it harder for bacteria to reattach and cause further damage. This step also promotes the reattachment of the gum tissue to the teeth, which is vital for the healing process.

Most patients find scaling and root planing to be a comfortable procedure, although local anesthetics can be used to ensure you feel at ease during treatment. Depending on the severity of the gum disease, treatment may be completed in multiple appointments, addressing different sections of the mouth in each session.

In some cases, scaling and root planing may be combined with other treatments, such as antibiotic therapy, to further control the infection. For many patients, however, this deep cleaning is enough to prevent periodontal disease from progressing, helping you maintain a healthier, more confident smile.

I'm not the type of person who dreads going to the dentist, but it's not my favorite way to spend part of my day. I was looking for a new dentist after relocating to Roseville and my first experience at BB was as painless as can be, in every way. They are very friendly, welcoming, and efficient. They answered all my questions and explained everything I needed to know. I wasn't surprised that the facilities were nicer than at my previous Los Angeles dentist, but I was very impressed with how modern and up to date BB is in their practice. My teeth were overdue for cleaning and x-rays and the oral hygienist completed the work in the least unpleasant visit I've ever had to the dentist. They seem to be affordable too and handled the insurance details of my bill with no problems. So far, so good - highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience at BB this morning for a teeth cleaning and a consultation for veneers. From the moment I walked in, the office felt calm, quiet, and very inviting, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and absolutely pristine. Stacy (the dental hygienist) was amazing. She was incredibly gentle and thorough during my cleaning, which made the entire experience relaxing and stress-free. Dr. Sara took her time and was extremely thoughtful and detailed in her evaluation. She carefully walked me through whether I was a good candidate for veneers and explained the different cosmetic reconstruction options available for my smile, without any pressure. I really appreciated how honest, knowledgeable, and patient she was, it made me feel confident and well cared for. Overall, this office truly exceeded my expectations. Professional, warm, and attentive from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for both excellent dental care and a comfortable, welcoming environment.
