Failing Dental Implants - Scarborough, ON

You Can Save Failing Dental Implants

Trained in LAPIP™ Laser Treatment

While dental implants have retained a significantly high success rate of 98 percent, there is unfortunately always a possibility for ailing or failing dental implants. Many factors can attribute to failing dental implants, but the most common is peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition similar to that of gum disease. Peri-implantitis is characterized by an infection of the gum tissue due to the presence of bacteria (oftentimes a result of poor oral hygiene) than can progress until irreversible damage occurs, causing failing dental implants. If you have noticed that the gum tissue around your dental implant is red, tender, or swollen, seek professional treatment in Scarborough, ON before it is too late! We are trained in laser dentistry treatments and certified to offer the minimally invasive LAPIP™ treatment protocol for peri-implantitis.

How LAPIP Can Save Dental Implants

LAPIP is a treatment protocol that uses dental lasers to vaporize bacteria and remove diseased tissue and infection from around failing dental implants. Without needing to create incisions in health gum tissue, LAPIP can reverse the effects of peri-implantitis and restore implant stability more comfortably than through conventional treatment measures. With the dental laser, we clear away infection and disease in the area, then remove buildup from the dental implant post. If necessary, bone around the implant is reshaped if it has been damaged. Once the area has been cleared of bacteria and infection, LAPIP dental lasers can both cauterize the treatment site and stimulate the regeneration of new tissue and bone growth around ailing or failing dental implants! With this minimally invasive alternative to extensive restorative surgery, patients can experience a comfortable treatment ultimately aimed at saving their failing dental implants!

Responding to Coronavirus

As The Ministry of Health has begun to lift some restrictions, we are now able to welcome you back! The office is now open to urgent and emergency patients. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to our patients health and safety here at Dentistry at Consilium.

Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have up taken the following steps to reopening.

A Virtual ” Waiting Room”: You will be asked to wait outside the office when arriving. Please check in via text message or call from outside of the clinic, such as in a car to make sure we are ready for you.

Pre-Screening: You will be asked pre-screening questions over the phone and then again at the time of your appointment. Your temperature will be taken with contactless infra-red thermometer once you arrive.

We ask that all patients arrive wearing a mask.

Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines or children’s toys, as those items are difficult to fully disinfect. Instead there will be hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use upon entering.

Air Filtration: We have installed Hepa air filtration systems to ensure air quality in the operatories.

Please be assured that these measures are designed to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team.
