SCALING & POLISHING

Scaling removes the deposits and stains present on the teeth which cannot be removed by brushing. It also removes trapped food particles and plaque containing millions of bacteria which cause tooth decay and gum diseases.

At CHOPRA DENTAL CLINIC, we believe scaling and polishing in hygiene for oral health, so it is done using an ultrasonic scaler which removes deposits present on the teeth, later polishing is done with prophylactic paste to give highly polished tooth surface which doesn’t allow plaque formation. Regular scaling and polishing helps teeth and gums healthy.

Deep Scaling

Root planning (non-surgical periodontal therapy) is the most effective treatment for Periodontitis, a condition where tartar builds up inside pockets created by receding gums. Tartar thus formed cannot be removed by conventional methods and can eventually lead to loss of tooth . Root planing is a specialized skill involving scaling of the root of the tooth.

Flap Surgery

It’s a surgical procedure used to treat advanced periodontitis that cannot be treated with anti biotics or by scaling and planing.
In advanced periodontis, the bones, gums and tissues that support are attacked by infection and are gradually destroyed. Flap procedure involves the cleaning of the roots of the teeth and methods such as bone grafts, soft tissue grafts or Guided tissue regeneration to repair the damaged tissues and bones.

Bone Graft

Bone grafting is a safe and highly successful procedure that involves the “building up” or adding bone to the jaw by using your own natural bone from another location and/or by using donor, processed or synthetic bone materials. Often the new bone can be obtained from inside the mouth.
Your implants will be placed after the grafted bone has fused or become a strong, integrated part of the existing bone. The amount of time the integration takes varies depending on the location of the graft and the density of the bone. It may take three or more months.
