DEEP CLEANING (SRP)
At Apex Dentistry, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy gums for overall oral health.

Led by Dr. Mojgan Salehi and our experienced team, our SRP procedures are tailored to provide thorough and comprehensive care for patients with advanced gum disease.
Understanding Deep Cleaning (SRP)
Deep Cleaning, or Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), is a non-surgical procedure aimed at treating gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. It involves carefully removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline and smoothing out the tooth roots to promote healing and prevent further progression of gum disease.

THE DEEP CLEANING (SRP)
During your Deep Cleaning appointment at Apex Dentistry, you can expect the following steps:
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION
Dr. Salehi will conduct a thorough examination of your gums, checking for signs of inflammation, bleeding, recession, and periodontal pockets. X-rays may be taken to assess the extent of bone loss and other underlying issues.
ROOT PLANING
The tooth roots will be carefully smoothed out to remove rough surfaces and bacterial deposits. This promotes the reattachment of the gums to the teeth and reduces the risk of further plaque buildup.
SCALING
Our skilled hygienists will use specialized tools to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. This process helps eliminate infection and inflammation in the gums.
GUM HEALTH EVALUATION
We will evaluate the health of your gums and measure the depth of periodontal pockets to assess the severity of gum disease. Dr. Salehi may recommend additional treatments or interventions based on the findings.
