With routine check-ups, cleanings, and advanced diagnostic tools, we help keep your teeth and gums in optimal condition.
Dental prophylaxis – commonly called a “prophy” – is a treatment that involves polishing the teeth to control bacteria. A prophy is typically performed twice per year, or every six months to maintain healthy gums and teeth. During your cleaning the hygienist may document the current health of your gum tissue with a periodontal probe. This exam, taken usually once a year or more if need be, helps the hygienist assess the current conditions of the gums to ensure prevention of periodontal disease and promote healthy oral hygiene with appropriate instructions for the patient.

Commonly known as “SRP’s” is a procedure performed by the hygienist in which scaling of the tooth below the gum line occurs to remove any plaque or tartar that has accumulated over time. A local anesthetic is given before this procedure is performed. A full mouth SRP is split into two appointments and each appointment is scheduled for two hours.
Performed after receiving SRP’s to ensure continued treatment of maintaining healthy gum tissue. The patient will receive regular cleanings when the hygienist feels the oral conditions of the patient has reached a normal healthy status. A patient can receive periodontal maintenance for up to two years after receiving SRP’s, but this all depends on the patient as each patient reacts differently to procedures.
