- Preventive dental treatments to avoid cavities,
- Minimally invasive dental treatment methods.
Periodontoloji
Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that preserves the health of the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth (gums and bone tissue) and diagnoses and treats diseases in these tissues. Early diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases help preserve oral health by preventing tooth loss.
Main treatments applied within the scope of the Periodontology Department are as follows:
- Diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis),
- Teeth cleaning and root surface smoothing (subgingival curettage),
- Periodontal surgical procedures for advanced gum diseases,
- Treatment of gum recession and soft tissue graft applications,
- Regenerative surgical procedures for the treatment of bone loss,

- Evaluation of the relationship between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases,
- Oral hygiene education and preventive periodontal treatments,
- Laser-assisted periodontal treatment methods.
Prosthodontics
Prosthetics is the branch of dentistry that preserves the health of the supporting tissues surrounding the teeth (gums and bone tissue) and diagnoses and treats diseases in these tissues. Early diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases help preserve oral health by preventing tooth loss.
Main treatments applied within the scope of the Prosthetics Department are as follows:
- Diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis),
