Inflammatory discharge between teeth and Gingivitiss

Teeth that are wobbling or gradually moving further apart (gaps between teeth or increased gaps between teeth)

Lengthening of tooth length

Changing the relationship between the upper and lower teeth during biting

Change in partial denture fit, deterioration

Persistent bad breath
MICROBIAL DENTAL PLAQUE: Microbial dental plaque is a light yellow, soft, sticky, hard-to-remove biofilm of colonized bacteria. Chemical substances secreted by the bacteria in the plaque Gingivitis diseases occur as a result of damage to the Gingivitiss and the bone under the Gingivitiss. Dental plaque can be easily removed from the tooth surface by using a toothbrush and dental floss. Dental plaque from the tooth surface If not removed, calculus is formed. Calculus (yellow or brownish in color) is the hardened form of plaque on the tooth surface, which is hardened by the minerals in saliva if it is not cleaned. Causes of Gingivitis disease Bacteria multiply more easily and faster on dental calculus, facilitating and accelerating the course of the disease.
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF GINGIVITIS DISEASES: Healthy Gingivitiss are rosy pink in color and have a firm consistency.

After a while, the inflammatory tissues spread to the bone surrounding the teeth and cause Gingivitis and bone recession. This is called periodontitis. Severe toothache and bleeding at this stage, loose teeth and bad breath. There is an inflammatory taste in the mouth.

After these stages, the implant, which replaces a real tooth root, becomes capable of supporting the prosthesis to be placed on it. In order for the implant application to be performed, first of all, it is necessary to support the implant. The bone structure and gums must be healthy and in sufficient quantity. In the absence of these, additional bone surgery applications (bone augmentation, artificial bone graft application, sinus lift, autogenous block bone graft) is also implanted and the success rate is very high.
CARE AFTER IMPLANT TREATMENT: After the completed implant-supported prosthetic treatment, individual oral and dental care should be taken with the necessary care for the implants to be used for many years without any problems and should be performed at 6-month intervals. regular check-ups at the dentist.
