LAPIP Failing Implant Treatment
Safeguarding your dental implants with advanced laser therapy.
Why treat gum disease around an implant?
Dental implants are a predictable way to replace missing teeth permanently with very high success rates. However, implant failures can happen in very rare cases. Complications like peri-implantitis happen when the tissues around the implant become inflamed or infected. This can lead to failing dental implants, which might become painful, loose, or even fall out.
The American Dental Health Providers team is dedicated to protecting your smile for life.
We're proud to offer cutting-edge laser treatments for failing dental implants in Downey, Fallbrook, Torrance and Long Beach, CA. This minimally invasive, gentle treatment could save your failing dental implants so you can keep loving your smile for years.
Signs & symptoms of moderate to advanced peri-implantitis
- Swollen and bleeding gums
- Implant mobility (loosening)
- Change in gum color surrounding the implant
- Hypersensitive gums
- Mild to severe pain around the implant site
- Exposure of the implant post
- Visible pus in gum tissue around the implant
If you notice any of these around an existing implant, call us promptly. Peri-implantitis responds far better to early treatment, and waiting risks losing the implant altogether.
