Reverse early signs of gum disease with deep cleaning therapy at Perfected Smiles. Our gentle scaling and root planing treatment helps restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.


Protect Your Gums with Deep Cleaning Therapy
Gum disease affects nearly half of all adults, but with early intervention, it can be reversed. At Perfected Smiles in Rochelle Park, NJ, we offer non-surgical periodontal therapy known as scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning technique that removes harmful plaque, bacteria, and tartar from below the gumline.
Dr. Jason Schepis and Dr. Ryan Maher provide gentle, thorough care to stop gum disease in its tracks and prevent further damage. This treatment helps restore healthy gums, reduce inflammation, and protect your teeth from future complications.



What Is Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing is a two-part deep cleaning procedure performed under local anesthesia for your comfort:
Scaling involves removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gumline.
Root Planing smooths the root surfaces to help the gums heal and reattach, preventing bacteria from accumulating in the future.
This treatment is recommended for patients showing signs of gingivitis or early periodontitis, including bleeding gums, gum recession, bad breath, or deep periodontal pockets.



Your Questions Answered
Is scaling and root planing painful?
The procedure is typically performed with local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Afterward, you may experience mild tenderness, which usually resolves within a few days.
How do I know if I need this treatment?
If your gums bleed when brushing, feel tender or swollen, or if your hygienist detects deep pockets around your teeth, scaling and root planing may be necessary.
How long does it take?
Depending on the extent of gum disease, treatment may be completed in one or two visits. We'll also schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and maintain results.
What happens if gum disease isn’t treated?
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
