Scaling & Root Planning in Ottawa | Cost of Scaling and Root Planning – Island Park Dental

Scaling and root planning is a type of restorative dental procedure that involves the removal of calculus, plaque and stains stuck with the tooth below and above the gumline.

Scaling and Root Planning Procedure

The cost of scaling and root planning (deep cleanings) may depend on the dentist’s location and whether or not the patient has insurance.

Your dentist usually divides the procedure into two appointments. During the first appointment, they just clean the lower and upper quadrants of one side of your mouth. After then the remaining two quadrants are cleaned in the second appointment.

Teeth Scaling:

•Scaling is done either manually or with an ultrasonic instrument, like a Cavitron which involves an irrigation process that is used to pass an antimicrobial agent below the teeth gums to help decrease oral bacteria. Both of these techniques help remove hardened tartar and loosen plaque.

•The scalar is placed in the pocket along with the bevel at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees to the tooth to remove plaque and bacteria. The teeth and root surfaces are then cleaned and scraped in a circular, vertical, or horizontal motion.

Root Planning:

•Considerably, the four main components of teeth are dentin, cementum, enamel, and dental pulp. Root planing removes subgingival bacteria and smoothens rough surfaces.

•The procedure begins with a dentist cleansing deep below the gums to remove tartar and plaque that has been building upon the roots of teeth where the bones are getting affected by the infection. Planning involves the complete removal of cementum i.e. the calcified film which covers a tooth’s root.

•This procedure may also include the process of removing a small superficial layer of dentin, which is considered the second layer of teeth that get developed below the enamel.

Benefits of Treatment

•Scaling and planing have various periodontal benefits. It not only helps prevent the recurrence of the disease but also removes the bacteria from the root and protects the tooth against loss. Moreover, this healing procedure helps in regaining your smile back, helps decrease bad breath, and removes oral cavity-causing bacteria. Even superficial stains on the teeth are also removed, which adds an extra luster to your teeth.
