Scaling
Scaling is a basic dental hygiene practice performed to maintain the health of the gums. Calculus is a hard layer formed by the mineralization of plaque on the teeth, and these deposits can lead to gum inflammation and gum diseases such as periodontitis. Scaling is performed by a professional dentist and usually involves removing tartar and plaque from the teeth.
The cleaning process is usually done with ultrasonic instruments and manual instruments. Ultrasonic devices remove tartar by vibrating, while manual instruments remove debris from the surface of the teeth. This process improves the health of the gums, reduces bad breath, and helps keep teeth healthy. Regular tartar cleaning is a critical step in preventing gum disease and supports the long-term health of the teeth.

Flap and Curettage Procedures
Flap and curettage procedures are surgical procedures used to treat gum disease and restore gum health. Flap surgery involves lifting a portion of the gums and cleaning the plaque, tartar, or infected tissue that has accumulated underneath. By repositioning the gums, infections and inflammations on the roots of the teeth are eliminated.
Curettage is a procedure that cleans the infected tissue that has accumulated on the gums and roots of the teeth. This procedure is usually performed after flap surgery and involves cleaning the surface of the roots of the teeth. Both flap and curettage procedures are important steps in the treatment of gum disease and support the regeneration of healthy gum tissue. These methods offer effective solutions to ensure the longevity of the teeth and to protect gum health.
Gingivectomy
Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure performed to treat conditions such as excessive growth or inflammation of the gums. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is surgically removed, thus giving the gums a healthier appearance and making teeth cleaning more effective. Gingivectomy is usually performed due to gum disease or aesthetic concerns.
The recovery process after gingivectomy is usually rapid, but there may be mild discomfort and swelling in the surgical area. After the procedure, regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene are important to maintain the health of the gums. Gingivectomy helps the gums to stay more properly healthy and the teeth to last longer.
Frenectomy (Tongue and Lip Tie Treatments)
Frenectomy is the surgical correction of tongue and lip ties. These ties are the thin tissues that connect the tongue or lips to the gums and the floor of the mouth. Excessive tightness of the ties can cause speech, swallowing or sucking problems in children and can make oral hygiene difficult in adults. Frenectomy is performed to solve such problems.
Frenectomy is usually performed under local anesthesia and the areas where the ties are excessively tight or causing problems are surgically removed. There may be mild discomfort and recovery after the procedure, but it usually provides a rapid recovery. This treatment is an important step in improving the oral functions of the child or adult and making daily life easier.
Soft Tissue Surgeries
Soft tissue surgeries include various surgical procedures performed to treat gum disease and other oral health problems. These surgeries are performed to correct problems in the gums, tongue, floor of the mouth and other soft tissues. For example, gum recession, tissue loss or excessive growth can lead to aesthetic and functional problems.
Soft tissue surgeries usually involve reconstructing the gums or repairing damaged tissues. The procedures are carefully planned and implemented by the dentist, usually performed under local anesthesia. Careful oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups after treatment are important for the successful healing process. These surgeries offer effective solutions to protect and improve dental and oral health.
