Keep your gums healthy and your smile fresh with TruSmile Now — Chandler comprehensive Prophylaxis & SRP cleaning treatments.
Prophy-SRP is a comprehensive gum-care treatment that blends two essential cleaning procedures into one powerful preventive approach.
This is a detailed professional cleaning designed to stop gum issues before they start. It removes soft plaque, mild surface stains, and bacterial buildup that daily brushing can’t fully eliminate. During this stage, our dental team can also spot early warning signs of gum irritation or gingivitis, allowing timely, gentle treatment.
Also called a deep cleaning, SRP focuses below the gumline. Scaling clears away hardened tartar and bacteria from tooth roots, while root planing smooths those surfaces to help gums heal and reattach more securely.
By combining both techniques, Prophy-SRP effectively addresses early gum disease, prevents progression to advanced periodontitis, and helps preserve the health of your teeth and gums for the long term.
We review your health, consider diabetes/smoking/meds,
take X‑rays as needed, and measure gums (periodontal charting).
Regular cleanings and dental exams are the best defense against gum infections. By removing bacteria and buildup that brushing can’t reach, Prophy-SRP stops the early stages of gum disease before they cause permanent damage
Untreated gum inflammation can lead to gum recession and the formation of deep pockets between the gums and teeth. Over time, this weakens the support structure of your smile and can even result in tooth loss if left unchecked.
Scaling and root planing help gums heal and reattach firmly to your tooth roots, restoring a healthy seal that stabilizes your teeth and reduces looseness.
When gum disease progresses, it can lead to tooth loss, infection, and even bone deterioration. Prophy-SRP helps you stay ahead of these issues, keeping your mouth healthy and comfortable.
Research shows a clear link between gum health and overall health—chronic gum infections may contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. By keeping your gums healthy, you’re also protecting your body and long-term well-being.
Prophy-SRP combines two essential cleaning procedures: a routine prophylaxis (surface cleaning) and scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). Together, they remove harmful plaque and bacteria beneath the gumline—helping stop gum disease before it leads to permanent damage or tooth loss.
As gum disease progresses, spaces (pockets) form between the teeth and gums. Scaling clears away bacteria and tartar from these areas, while root planing smooths the tooth roots so the gums can heal and reattach. This process helps reverse early gum disease and slows its progression in more advanced cases.
Anyone experiencing bleeding gums, bad breath, or early signs of gum irritation may benefit from this treatment. Patients diagnosed with periodontal disease—or those at risk of developing it—often find Prophy-SRP an effective first step toward restoring gum health.
It serves both purposes. Prophylaxis prevents gum issues by tackling surface buildup, while SRP addresses existing inflammation and bacterial deposits below the gumline. Together, they form a complete solution for treating and preventing gum disease.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can usually be reversed with timely treatment. However, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires ongoing maintenance. Prophy-SRP helps control the condition, reducing symptoms and preventing further bone or tissue loss.
Warning signs include bleeding when brushing, swollen or receding gums, and persistent bad breath. Routine dental visits at TruSmile Now — Chandler allow early detection, making treatment simpler and more effective.
Yes. By cleaning below the gumline, Prophy-SRP reduces bacterial buildup and inflammation, allowing gums to heal and reattach more tightly to the teeth. This helps stabilize your bite and prevents loosening.
Your dentist gently removes tartar and bacteria from tooth roots using specialized tools. The roots are then smoothed to encourage healthy gum reattachment and reduce areas where bacteria can accumulate again.
The frequency depends on your gum condition. Patients with mild concerns may only need routine cleanings every six months, while those managing periodontal disease may require more frequent deep cleanings to maintain stability.
Absolutely. Studies show that untreated gum disease can contribute to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. By keeping your gums healthy, Prophy-SRP supports not just your oral wellness but also your overall systemic health.
