Ultrasonic Dental Cleaner

We use the ultrasonic teeth cleaning technique. This uses traditional dental hand instruments alongside a hi-tech ultrasonic ‘scaler’ – set at a low power setting. This procedure produces a ‘cleaner clean’ than with hand instruments alone. That’s due to the water flow of the ultrasonic instrument tip. This instrument is also narrower than many of our hand instruments and takes the place of most of the uncomfortable “scraping” you might associate with teeth cleaning. This ‘hybrid’ approach provides a very gentle and pain-free deep cleaning for your teeth.Deep cleaning is generally a first step in Periodontal Disease Treatment and doesn’t always involve injected local anesthetic. We can use a topical local anesthetic that will not keep your mouth numb for hours after the appointment. We see very good results with our deep cleaning dental treatments and we work closely with the periodontist, or gum specialist, to jointly manage your periodontal disease recovery.What is the difference between a “regular” and a “deep” cleaning for teeth? A regular or routine cleaning is generally done when your gum measurements are within normal limits. If inflammation in your gums and bone has advanced to a point where there is a deep gum trough around the teeth and you have experienced some bone loss, you will likely need a deep cleaning dental treatment.
