Dental - Periodontist

EMC Hospital's Periodontists are specialist dentists who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing various diseases of the supporting tissues of the teeth, including the gums, supporting bone, periodontal ligament, and other supporting tissues. Periodontal health is crucial for maintaining strong, stable, and functional teeth over the long term.

Before determining a treatment plan, the Periodontics Specialist at EMC Hospital will conduct a thorough evaluation through a clinical examination of the gums and supporting tissues, measuring the depth of the gum pockets, assessing tooth mobility, and conducting supporting examinations such as dental X-rays or a CBCT (Computed Tomography) if necessary. These examination results help the doctor establish an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate therapy for each patient.

At EMC Hospital, Periodontics Specialists treat various conditions, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, bleeding gums, swollen gums, bad breath related to periodontal disease, loose teeth due to damage to the supporting tissue, gum recession (receding gums), loss of bone supporting the teeth, periodontal abscesses, as well as maintaining gum health in patients with diabetes, certain systemic diseases, or dental implant users.

EMC Hospital's Periodontics Specialist Dentist Services include scaling and root planing, non-surgical periodontal therapy, periodontal surgery, periodontal tissue and bone regeneration, gum grafts , crown lengthening , peri-implant treatment, dental implant placement as indicated, and long-term periodontal maintenance programs to prevent gum disease recurrence.

This service is supported by modern periodontal technology and collaboration with general dentists, specialists in conservative dentistry, prosthodontists, oral surgeons, orthodontics, and other specialists to provide comprehensive and continuous care. This multidisciplinary approach aims to maintain the health of the supporting tissues of the teeth, support the success of restorations and implants, and maintain optimal oral function and aesthetics.

Consult a periodontist at EMC Hospital immediately if you experience bleeding gums when brushing, swollen or painful gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, receding gums exposing the roots, or a history of gum disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent damage to the supporting tissues of the teeth, preserve natural teeth for longer, and maintain overall oral health.
