Periodontology is a critical branch of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of gum diseases. At Uğur Koça Dental Clinic, we offer comprehensive periodontology services provided by our specialist periodontists to preserve and improve your gum health and enhance the longevity of your teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
What Does Periodontology Treatment Include?
Gum diseases can range from simple gum inflammation (gingivitis) to severe periodontitis, which can lead to significant bone loss. The periodontology treatment we apply at our clinic involves steps that vary according to the severity of the condition:
- Detailed Examination and Diagnosis: Our periodontology specialist meticulously examines your oral structure, gum condition, pocket depth, and any signs of gum recession. This comprehensive assessment ensures accurate diagnosis of the disease and the formulation of the most appropriate treatment plan.
- Professional Dental Cleaning (Scaling and Polishing): A professional dental cleaning is performed to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) buildup, which are primary causes of gum diseases. This is vital for preventing gum inflammation and halting its progression.
- Non-Surgical Treatments (Scaling and Root Planing): In more advanced cases, deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is applied to eliminate infection from gum pockets and smooth root surfaces to prevent bacterial accumulation.
- Surgical Treatments: When necessary, surgical interventions may be performed to restore gum health and reconstruct lost tissues. These include:
- Gum Surgery: To reduce gum pockets or for aesthetic corrections.
- Bone Grafts: To support and regenerate lost jawbone.
- Gum Grafts: To repair receded gums and protect tooth roots.
- Follow-up and Maintenance: After treatment, regular follow-up and maintenance visits are crucial to ensure the sustainability of your gum health. During these check-ups, your gum condition is evaluated, additional treatments or adjustments are made if necessary, and personalized advice on oral hygiene is provided.
