Dental Deep Cleaning (SRP)

in Missouri City, TX

When bacteria reaches below the gumline, gingivitis and gum disease can quickly get out of control. What begins with bleeding gums can progress into periodontal disease and lead to even greater problems. Fortunately, Lake Olympia Dental provides periodontal treatment to clear bacteria and help you regain your confident smile. For better gum health, we offer deep dental cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing or SRP for short. Through this gentle procedure, we’re able to treat gum disease by thoroughly removing plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline. With regular SRP treatments, we can help you achieve improved gum health for a greater sense of well-being.

What Makes a Dental Deep Cleaning Different?

A simple dental cleaning isn’t always enough to address stubborn plaque and bacteria below the gum line. That’s why we offer dental deep cleanings (or scaling and root planing) for our patients in Missouri City, TX. A dental deep cleaning gets rid of plaque and bacteria from below your gums, which helps to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. During the procedure, your dentist will use special tools to remove tartar and plaque buildup below the gumline that isn’t addressed during a regular dental cleaning. The entire process is a thorough and gentle treatment that can help you fight off bacteria that causes gum disease for years to come.

Dental Deep Cleaning Procedure

During a scaling and root planing procedure, we use special instruments to access below the gumline and remove plaque, bacteria, and tartar buildup from around the roots of your teeth. The roots of the tooth are also smoothed to encourage reattachment to the gums and prevent recession. Depending on the severity of your condition, SRP may require more than one visit to complete. After treatment is finished, we will monitor your progress with regular cleanings. This ensures that your gums remain healthy and free from infection.

Scaling and Root Planing Benefits

Scaling and root planing is used to treat gum disease, or periodontal disease, which is an infection of the gums. SRP can help restore your oral health by removing plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line that has built up over time and prevent further complications from occurring. The benefits of a dental deep cleaning include:

Improved oral health and reduced risk of gum disease complications
Reduced pocketing between the teeth, which can prevent extractions from becoming necessary
Improved appearance as your gums will look healthier and more uniform in shape and color
Fresher breath due to reduction of bacteria which cause bad breath

patients have to say

"My kids and I have been patients of Dr. Dinh at Lake Olympia Dentist, and we couldn't be happier with the care we receive. Dr. Dinh and the entire staff are always professional, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walk in the door.

They do an excellent job making my children feel comfortable and at ease during their appointments, which is something every parent appreciates. Dr. Dinh takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and genuinely cares about his patients' dental health."

"I recently visited Dr Dihn’s dental office as a new patient and was very pleased with my experience. His staff was welcoming and professional throughout my visit. His hygienist, Allie, took the time to explain procedures related to my cleaning clearly to me, which made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. The office was clean, organized, and efficient. I left feeling confident that I’ve placed my dental care in the right hands. All in all, great visit and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist."

" I came here to get a second opinion from a not so comfortable experience prior. Miaa, Dr Dinh, and Shannon were the sweetest and I 100% recommend coming here. My dental anxiety was easier to manage around them. Dr. Dinh is super comfortable to be around we even shared the same favorite cartoon. He recommended a game plan on my back bottom molar that is gonna end up needing a root canal or extraction. Nervous for the journey, but it’ll be ok!"

Rikki HER Harris

I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.
