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.
