Periodontology: diagnosis and treatment of gum disease, professional cleaning and gum surgery when needed.
Periodontology is concerned with the health of the gums and the tissues that support the teeth. Gum inflammation, tartar build-up and more advanced gum disease all fall within this field.
At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, a periodontal examination assesses your gum level and the bone support around your teeth. Early-stage cases may be managed with professional cleaning, while more advanced cases may call for a surgical approach.
Assessing gum health is an important part of planning other treatments, such as implants or prosthetics.
