Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planning) in Villa Park, IL
Non-surgical treatment for gum disease and long-term oral health
Where Should I Start?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common condition that affects the gums and supporting bone around the teeth. Early signs may include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum swelling, or tenderness. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss.
At Aspire Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Leila Ahmadian takes a comprehensive and conservative approach to diagnosing and managing gum disease, focusing on long-term oral health and stability.
During your evaluation, we will:
- Review your symptoms, dental history, and oral hygiene habits
- Measure gum pocket depths and assess gum inflammation
- Examine tooth roots, bone levels, and tartar buildup
- Use digital X-rays as needed to evaluate bone support
What Happens During the Treatment Phase?
Digital Planning
- Using 3D scans, we create a virtual model of your teeth and gums.
- Your immediate denture is designed digitally, allowing us to plan for esthetics and function even before your teeth are removed.
Same-Day Denture Delivery
- Teeth are extracted as planned.
- Your custom-designed denture is placed immediately.
- You leave with a complete smile the very same day.
Because of digital planning, immediate dentures are more accurate, comfortable, and esthetically pleasing compared to traditional methods.
How Do I Care for My Immediate Denture?
Your clinical findings help determine the severity of gum disease and the appropriate treatment approach. Deep cleaning (also called scaling and root planing) may be recommended and typically includes:
- Thorough removal of plaque and hardened tartar from above and below the gumline
- Smoothing of the root surfaces to help gums heal and reattach to the teeth
- Local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during treatment
- Antibacterial rinses or medications when indicated
- Treatment completed in one or more visits, depending on extent
Follow-up evaluations allow us to monitor healing and adjust care as needed.
