Scaling & Root Planing in NE Calgary

Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and below the gumline, while root planing smooths the root surfaces of your teeth. Together, these two steps allow irritated gum tissue to heal and reattach more closely to your teeth, reducing pocket depth and slowing the progression of gum disease.

Scaling and root planing is often the next step after a Periodontal Treatment & Gum Care assessment identifies gum disease. If persistent bad breath remains a concern after treatment, Halitosis & Bad Breath Care addresses that specifically.

The cost of scaling and root planing depends on how many areas of your mouth need treatment and the severity of gum disease found during your assessment. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, direct bill most insurance providers, and offer 0% financing. Contact us for a personalized quote.
