Our gum disease treatment
At Sparks Precision Dental, we offer dedicated solutions to address gum disease. Our commitment lies in ensuring your oral health through thorough care and tailored treatments.
Scaling and Root Planing
This meticulous procedure is especially important for patients who have long gaps between their dental visits, making tartar buildup become stubborn and resistant to regular cleanings. With these advanced cleanings, we prevent the progression of severe periodontal disease, which has the potential to jeopardize your oral health.
Some benefits of scaling and root planing are:
- Deep cleansing
- Gum health improvement
- Halting progression
- Fresh breath
- Enhanced comfort
- Preserving teeth
- Helps you avoid more costly and extensive dental treatments

FAQs about gum disease treatment
What are the symptoms of gum disease?
Depending on the stage, symptoms may not be obvious. Common signs include:
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bleeding gums
- Discomfort while chewing
- Tender gums
- Gum recession
Is scaling and root planing the same as a regular dental cleaning?
No, they’re different. Regular cleanings are recommended twice a year for everyone. Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) is a type of cleaning specifically for gum disease treatment. It removes plaque and tartar below the gum line, aiding proper healing.
How do I know which periodontal treatment is best for me?
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. During your visit, our dentist examines your mouth and uses advanced technology to diagnose. Then, a treatment plan tailored to your needs will be recommended.
If I have gum disease, will I need antibiotics?
Not always. Gum disease treatment often doesn’t require antibiotics. However, antibiotic therapy might be recommended if our dentist at Sparks Precision Dental deems it necessary.
