Periodontology And Gum Treatment

WHAT IS PERIODONTOLOGY AND GUM TREATMENT?
Periodontology is a specialized branch of dentistry dedicated to maintaining the health of gums and surrounding tissues, diagnosing, and treating gum diseases. Gum issues often start with mild symptoms like bleeding or redness, but if left untreated, they can progress to tooth loss. At Eray Şahinsev Dental Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach, from treating early-stage gum inflammation (gingivitis) to managing advanced periodontitis. Our treatments address common concerns such as gum recession, bleeding, sensitivity, and bad breath, including:

• Scaling (Dental Cleaning): Removes tartar above and below the gumline, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.
• Curettage: Cleans infected gum tissue, reducing gum pocket depth and supporting healthy gum regeneration.
• Flap Surgery: Surgically lifts the gum tissue to treat advanced gum disease, controlling bone loss and restoring gum health.
• Free Gingival Graft: Transfers gum tissue from another area to treat recession or strengthen thin gums.
• Connective Tissue Graft: Uses tissue from the mouth to address gum recession, enhancing both function and esthetics, especially for front teeth.
• Gingivectomy: Surgically removes excess gum tissue for medical or esthetic reasons, creating a more balanced and symmetrical gumline.
• Pink Esthetics (Gum Contouring): Aims for healthy, symmetrical, and esthetically pleasing gums, often addressing irregularities or excessive gum visibility (gummy smile) by reshaping the gumline.

Using modern technologies, we provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments to restore healthy gum tissue while prioritizing tissue preservation and faster recovery.

HOW IS IT APPLIED?
Gum treatment involves a series of procedures tailored to address specific gum issues, as periodontal diseases can stem from various causes:

Infection Control: Initial inflammation is managed with antibiotics, medicated mouthwashes, or other medical treatments. If these are  insufficient, surgical interventions under local anesthesia are performed.
Surgical Methods:
Root Surface Smoothing (Curettage)
Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Flap Surgery
Crown Lengthening
Tissue Grafts
Each treatment is meticulously planned, considering all factors affecting gum health for optimal results.
