As Much as 28% of Patients with Dental Implants May Experience Signs of Peri-Implantitis
As the gold standard in modern tooth replacement, dental implants are known for their high success rates and ability to last for a lifetime; however, there is one significant threat to their longevity if not properly maintained: peri-implantitis. If you have dental implants and experience any of the following signs and symptoms, we encourage you to contact us to avoid any damaging effects:
- Red, swollen or inflamed gum tissue
- Bleeding when brushing, flossing or eating
- Gum recession or pockets around a dental implant
- Bone loss surrounding a dental implant
LANAP® Protocol for Quick, Gentle and Reliable Gum Treatments
Dr. Wilson performs the LANAP® protocol with the Periolase MVP-7 dental laser. This laser offers convenient modern treatment alternatives for both gum disease and peri-implantitis for patients with dental implants.
For gum disease, Dr. Wilson incorporates the Periolase into his Therapeutic Laser Care (TLC©) program, which works in combination with Perio Trays© for a treatment with proven results. The laser removes diseased gum tissue and harmful bacteria that cause gum disease and helps Dr. Wilson treat the soft and hard tissues beneath the gum line, leaving the surface of the teeth smooth for successful gum tissue re-attachment.
All of our patients start their treatment plan with a one-hour, FREE consultation with Dr. Gordon Wilson. During this consultation, he will help you understand what is affecting your oral health, and how your treatment plan will help. We want you to be as involved with the process as possible, because your success is our success.
