What is Periodontology?
Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth (gums, bone, periodontal ligament). Gum treatment covers the management of conditions such as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (gum disease).
At Million Hair Clinic, we use laser-assisted treatment methods and minimally invasive surgical techniques in our gum treatment services in Istanbul. Gum diseases are completely reversible when treated at an early stage; however, if left untreated, they can lead to tooth loss.
Our periodontology specialists at the clinic conduct comprehensive evaluations for complaints such as gum bleeding, swelling, recession, bad breath, and tooth mobility, and create personalized treatment plans. Recurrence of the disease is prevented with a regular maintenance program after treatment.
How is Gum Treatment Performed?
Gum treatment at our clinic is applied with personalized protocols according to the stage of the disease.
Periodontal Examination
Gum pockets are measured, and bone loss is evaluated with digital X-ray. The stage and extent of the disease are determined and a treatment plan is created.
Scaling and Curettage
Tartar removal is performed with ultrasonic devices. Root surface debridement (curettage) is applied in deep pockets to reduce bacterial load.
Laser Treatment
Infected gum tissue is vaporized with a diode laser and bacterial elimination is achieved. The laser also accelerates healing and reduces bleeding.
Maintenance Treatment
Follow-up and professional cleaning are performed at 3-6 month intervals after treatment. Home care education is provided to prevent recurrence of the disease.
Gum Surgery
Surgical intervention may be required in advanced-stage periodontal diseases. Lost tissue can be regenerated through surgical methods such as flap surgery, bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration, and gum grafting. These operations are performed using minimally invasive techniques at our clinic.

1. Prevents Tooth Loss
Untreated gum disease is the most common cause of tooth loss worldwide. You can protect your teeth and eliminate the need for extraction with early and effective gum treatment.
2. Laser-Assisted Treatment
Gum treatment becomes more comfortable and effective with diode laser technology. The laser demonstrates superior performance in bacterial elimination, reduces bleeding, and accelerates healing.
3. Protects General Health
Gum disease has been associated with heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. With gum treatment, you protect not only your oral health but also your overall health.
4. Aesthetic Improvement
Healthy gums are the cornerstone of smile aesthetics. Gum bleeding, swelling, and discoloration are eliminated with treatment. You achieve pink and healthy gums.
