Deep Cleaning (SRP)
Deep Cleaning (SRP) in Miami, FL
When gum disease allows deposits and bacteria to collect below the gumline, a routine cleaning may not be sufficient. Scaling and root planing may be recommended to address affected areas.
At Smile By Isa, we offer personalized scaling and root planing in Miami, FL. Dr. Isamary Herrera takes time to understand your concerns, examine your oral health, and explain which options may be appropriate.
Our goal is to help you make informed decisions about your oral health with comfortable, respectful, and individualized care.
What Is Deep Cleaning (SRP)?
Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a nonsurgical periodontal treatment that removes plaque and calculus below the gumline and helps clean affected root surfaces.
The most appropriate approach depends on your condition, dental history, and long-term needs.
Depending on your individual needs, care may include:
- Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation
- Measurement of Gum Pockets
- Review of Dental Imaging
- Local Anesthesia When Appropriate
- Scaling Below the Gumline
- Root Planing of Affected Surfaces
- Healing Check and Maintenance Planning
The right recommendation depends on your oral health, examination findings, and individual treatment goals.
Benefits of Deep Cleaning (SRP)
Reduce Bacterial Deposits
Scaling removes deposits from affected tooth and root surfaces.
Help Manage Periodontitis
SRP is an important nonsurgical option in periodontal disease management.
Address Gum Inflammation
Managing subgingival deposits may reduce inflammation and bleeding.
Establish a Maintenance Plan
Follow-up helps determine whether additional care or maintenance is needed.
Support Periodontal Healing
Cleaning affected root surfaces supports healing of periodontal tissues.
When Should You Consider Deep Cleaning (SRP)?
An evaluation may be recommended if you notice:
- Your gums bleed frequently
- Your gums appear swollen or tender
- Periodontal pockets have been identified
- Tartar is present below the gumline
- You have persistent bad breath
- Your gums are receding
- X-rays show possible bone loss
