Dental implants are still one of the most effective options for replacing missing teeth but some people develop an infection, peri-implantitis, that compromises the stability and integrity of the implant. We offer laser treatment for peri-implantitis to get the infection under control and save the implant. This treatment can eliminate the need for a second surgery and reduce the risk of the infection spreading. Contact Us About a Free Consultation What Causes Peri-Implantitis? If you develop gum disease and have dental implants, the disease can wear away the tissue around the gums and cause implant failure. Since dental implant surgery is a fairly extensive procedure, it’s even more important for patients to take good care of their oral health. Peri-implantitis, or an infection around the base of the implant, can cause bone loss and may lead to the implant falling out.
