Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical treatment to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line. At CentrOral: Grupo Odontológico Especializado in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, this procedure helps stop gum disease and bone loss. The clinic uses digital scanning technology to plan treatments with high precision.
Advanced Gum Care in Santiago
Deep cleaning targets the spaces between the teeth and gums. This process removes buildup that regular brushing cannot reach. It is the primary treatment for gum bleeding, inflammation, and dental mobility. Patients with sensitive tissues or oral lesions also receive specialized care in the periodontics department. The clinic uses a Cerec Omnicam and digital scanners for accurate modeling of the mouth. These tools replace traditional molds and make the planning stage faster.
Expert Periodontal Specialist
Dr. Ruth Veira Guzmán Marte leads the periodontal treatments at the clinic. She is a specialist in periodontics and dental implants. Dr. Guzmán Marte earned her degree in Stomatology from PUCMM. She later completed her specialty training at UNIBE. Her training focuses on saving the natural structures of the mouth. She treats complex cases where gum disease has started to cause tooth looseness or chronic pain.
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure is divided into two main steps to restore oral health:
- Scaling: The specialist removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and underneath the gum line.
- Root Planing: The doctor smooths the roots of the teeth to help the gums reattach securely.
- Digital Assessment: Doctors use high-resolution scanners to track tissue healing and plan follow-up care.
CentrOral functions as a multi-specialty facility. This allows patients to receive different types of dental care in one location. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm. They also offer Saturday hours until noon for convenience. If you notice persistent gum bleeding or sensitivity, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss a treatment plan.
