What Is Deep Cleaning?

Lakewood Ranch Dentist


Dr. Allison O’Brien provides deep cleaning to effectively treat and manage periodontal disease for patients in the Lakewood Ranch area. Unlike routine cleanings that address only surface plaque and tartar, deep cleaning targets the buildup beneath the gum line and within deep periodontal pockets. The procedure carefully removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth roots and then smooths the root surfaces through root planing. This process makes it harder for bacteria to reattach, helping stabilize the gums and restore oral health.

Deep cleaning is performed with a local or topical anesthetic to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. By thoroughly addressing the sources of gum disease, deep cleaning reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and lowers the risk of tooth loss. It is a crucial step in maintaining long-term oral health, protecting both your teeth and gums, and supporting overall well-being. At O’Brien Smiles, our personalized approach ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their specific needs, combining advanced techniques with a compassionate, supportive environment. This procedure not only restores gum health but also strengthens the foundation for all future dental care, helping patients maintain healthy smiles for years to come.

Dr. Allison O’Brien and her staff are INCREDIBLE!!!! I have never received such amazing dental care in my life. Dr. O’Brien loves what she does and always puts me at ease. She is so patient and generous with her time. My cousin in Philadelphia is a dentist and I asked him if he could research a dentist in my area that REALLY is a TMJ specialist. He found Dr. O’Brien because he researched dentists that continually do extra training at a special institution in Tampa. Dr. O’Brien is that that Dentist!!! I will always be so grateful to her and her staff❤️❤️❤️❤️
