If you’re facing any symptoms of gum disease, visit Peninsula Dental Associates for deep cleaning in Foster City, Redwood Shores, and the surrounding areas to prevent it from progressing.
Whether you come in reporting red, swollen, or bleeding gums or our team identifies signs of gingivitis or periodontitis during a routine visit, the first step in dealing with gum disease is evaluating your current condition and its progression.
Our team will perform a pocket depth measurement and other examinations. As your dentist with the latest technology in Foster City, we use techniques like CBCT scans to evaluate your teeth, jaw, and soft tissue. We’ll develop an accurate understanding of your gum disease progression so that we can intervene accordingly.
Deep cleaning is similar to the routine teeth cleaning you experience during a regular visit. Both focus on removing plaque and tartar that contribute to gum disease and tooth decay. However, deep cleaning uses special tools to reach deep into pockets around your teeth. This process is also called scaling.
The pockets around your teeth provide shelter for bacteria, and it’s hard to reach them while brushing and flossing. During your teeth scaling procedure, we’ll clean out these pockets to remove bacteria and prevent the continued progression of gum disease.
After scaling, root planing reduces the risk of future gum disease progression. We use dental tools to smooth the surface of the tooth inside the pockets. This process makes it more difficult for bacteria to take hold and start forming plaque and tartar.
Without the constant progression and inflammation of gum disease, those pockets will eventually begin to heal and tighten against your teeth again.
Your gums might feel sore for a few days after a deep cleaning. We’ll provide clear instructions for caring for your gums. And since oral hygiene is the most critical element of gum disease prevention, we’ll discuss brushing, flossing, and other techniques that will keep you healthy and prevent the need for future gum disease treatment.
Simply phenomenal. I didn't know professionalism and care of this quality existed anymore. I highly recommend Dr. Phandl and his amazing staff for your dental needs.
Dr. Phandl is a great dentist. He explains everything thoroughly and is very transparent. I also did Invisalign with him and he achieved great results. He is accommodating and takes great pride in his work. I never felt rushed or forgotten!
Just wanted to thank Dr. Martin Phandl and his wonderful staff for making my recent dental appointment experiences the best they could be. Dr. Phandl couldn't have been more kind or patient. He made sure there was ZERO pain or discomfort, and that I was doing okay throughout my procedures. They were such easy dental appointments, which for me, is saying a lot!! I was also very impressed with the new technology he uses. The handheld oral scanner was painless and showed 3D images in amazing detail. I would highly recommend Dr. Phandl.
The service Dr. Phandl provides is of the highest quality. From the moment you walk in the door, you’re treated as if you are the most important person there. Dr. Phandl is very easy to talk to and walks you through the process of what he is doing. After my recent visit he showed me the before and after shots of my tooth which was an absolute treat. I would recommend Dr. Phandl to anyone that wants a great dentist and the best service.
Dr. Phandl and his staff provide excellent service. I needed a cracked crown replaced and he was able to do so right away, all in house using CAD software and a 3D printer to create and install the replacement crown. Amazing care - thank you.
I’ve been enjoying the services of this dental office for over 20 years and everyone is so friendly and caring! Dr. Phandl is a perfect fit — friendly, knowledgeable and caring.
How many people can say they love going to the dentist? I can!! I’ve had health problems with my ears and neck.

Thanks to him, my teeth look and feel incredible and feeling great
