Periodontology (Gum Diseases and Treatments)

Periodontology is the branch of dentistry focused on maintaining the health of the supporting structures around the teeth—especially the gums and jawbone—and treating diseases affecting these tissues. Gum diseases often progress silently, and without early diagnosis, they can eventually lead to tooth loss.

The most common periodontal conditions include gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease). Symptoms such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, swelling, gum recession, and loose teeth may all be warning signs of these issues.

Our Periodontal Treatments

  • Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): Removal of plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and below the gumline to prevent inflammation.
  • Root Surface Smoothing (Curettage): Deep cleaning of gum pockets to remove harmful bacteria and promote healing of the gums.
  • Laser Gum Therapy: A minimally invasive, painless treatment with faster healing and no bleeding.
  • Gum Surgery: In advanced cases, procedures such as gum contouring, bone grafting, or flap surgery may be necessary.
  • Aesthetic Gum Treatments (Gummy Smile Correction): Reshaping excessive gum tissue to achieve a more balanced and attractive smile.

Throughout all treatments, we use pain-free techniques, state-of-the-art technology, and personalized planning to ensure the highest level of comfort for our patients.

Thanks to our experienced periodontology specialists, we don’t just treat your gums—we help restore and protect your overall oral health. Because a healthy smile starts with healthy gums.
