"My smile is very important to me. I never really had huge issues with my teeth but I did have some spacing that I was not happy with. Deciding to get invisalign was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The hard part was finding a facility that would tend to my needs and make me feel at home. I researched for quite some time before actually picking a place, but I finally ended up choosing Luxury Dentistry.”

Scaling and root planing is a non-invasive & effective way to remove plaque, tartar, and other types of unwanted build up from under and around the gums. It cleans the gums and reduces the risk of suffering from future gum disease and infection.
The hygienist at Luxury Dentistry NYC performs the scaling and root planing process after administering a local anesthetic to ensure that the patient feels as comfortable as possible. Our doctor uses a hand-held vibrating tool that scrubs off the bacteria and dirt under the gums. Since that procedure can leave the teeth with a rough texture, we will then use another tool to smoothen the surface of the teeth, which also allows the gums to reattach naturally.
The professional gum expert at Luxury Dentistry NYC strives to minimize any potential discomfort or pain to their patients during the scaling and root planing process. Most patients, especially those with sensitive gums and teeth, will be given a local anesthetic that will numb their mouth for the duration of the procedure.
For the best results, it is recommended that patients receive scaling and root planing every three to four months.
The skilled team at Luxury Dentistry NYC ensures that this procedure is carried out safely and comfortably, including asking you to fill out patient information forms with medical history. We take the necessary precautions to ensure that our patients feel comfortable during the procedure, and experience no complications after the procedure. We have not observed any serious side effects following the procedure.
We especially recommend patients with minor periodontitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the gums, to consider undergoing this procedure. Scaling and root planing prevents future development of more severe gum infections or diseases. If you have a serious case of periodontitis or gingivitis, this treatment may not be suitable for you. We recommend that you speak to one of our experienced dentists in order to understand if scaling and root planing will be beneficial to you.
The massage during treatment was a great distraction. Everyone was wonderful and gave detailed answers for my concerns

Unfortunately, scaling and root planing is mainly used as a prevention against the future development of any severe periodontal disease or infection, and cannot cure existing gum disease. Usually, scaling and rooting will remove plaque, calculus, tartar, and other bacterial deposits from under the gums, which will prevent gum disease or infections from forming in the future. Scaling and root planing is a safe and effective hygienic technique that creates healthy teeth and gums.
This treatment can be performed on people of all ages. Only an experienced specialist can determine if it is appropriate for you.
