Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) in Valleyfield
Deep cleaning in Valleyfield is performed at our Monseigneur-Langlois Boulevard clinic by hygienists trained in periodontal therapy, for patients from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Beauharnois, Saint-Timothée and Coteau-du-Lac.
Sessions are planned by quadrant, under local anesthesia, and can be booked on a Tuesday evening or on the weekend so the treatment fits your schedule.
Why choose the Go Dentiste Valleyfield clinic for your scaling and root planing
The Valleyfield clinic uses ultrasonic instruments with fine periodontal tips and hand curettes, and the dentist reviews the periodontal chart before and after treatment. Maintenance visits are scheduled with the same hygienist whenever possible.
