Protect the foundation of your smile
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss, and it often develops quietly. Warning signs include gums that bleed, look red or swollen, or pull away from the teeth, along with persistent bad breath. Caught early, it’s very treatable.
Deep cleaning (scaling & root planing)
For gum disease, we perform a deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots so the gums can heal. It’s a gentle, effective way to stop the disease from progressing and protect the bone that holds your teeth.
Affordable, with Medi-Cal welcome
Treating gum disease early saves you from far costlier problems later. We accept Medi-Cal / Denti-Cal, all major PPO insurance and cash, and verify your coverage before we begin.
