Gentle deep cleaning for a healthier smile
What is a deep cleaning?
A deep cleaning, sometimes referred to as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical treatment focused on improving gum health. Unlike a regular dental cleaning that polishes the surface of your teeth, a deep cleaning reaches beneath the gumline to remove stubborn plaque, tartar, and bacteria.
When left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and even affect your overall health. Our Burnaby deep cleaning offers an important opportunity to stop gum disease in its tracks, helping restore your gums and protect your smile for years to come.

How our Burnaby deep cleaning works
- Comprehensive assessment: Our team gently examines your gums, measures pocket depths, and evaluates the extent of any gum disease.
- Thorough scaling: Using specialized tools, we carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline.
- Root smoothing (Root Planing): We smooth your tooth roots to promote gum reattachment and help prevent future bacterial buildup.
- Personalized follow-up: We’ll schedule a follow-up visit to monitor healing and ensure your gums are on a healthy path forward.
