Common questions
Should I see a periodontist before implants?
If you have bleeding gums, loose teeth or bone loss on your X-ray, yes, or at least have your gums treated before implants are placed.
Do periodontists place implants in Turkey?
Many do. Check the dentist’s branch on the register and their published field of work.
