Save Your Implants with Minimally-Invasive, Laser Peri-Implantitis Care
Schedule ConsultationIs Peri-Implantitis Threatening the Health of Your Implant?
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that places your dental implants at serious risk. The condition affects the bone and gum tissues that surround and support the implant. A number of factors can lead to the onset of peri-implantitis. Gum disease, trauma from a misaligned bite and excess cement are all common causes of the infection. Left untreated, peri-implantitis can result in dental implant failure. Treating the problem as early as possible offers the best chance for saving your implants from this destructive condition.
