What causes peri-implant disease?

• Smoking
• Periodontitis
• Poor plaque control
• Diabetes

What are the Symptoms of this Disease?

The signs and symptoms of this condition closely resemble those of gum disease, including:

• Red and tender gums around the implant
• Bleeding while brushing
• Bone loss around the implant site
• Formation of pus
• Pain around the implant site

Traditionally, treatment for peri-implantitis involved surgery, but laser therapy has emerged as a viable alternative. Dr. Stella Gonzalez provides cutting-edge laser treatments for all her patients.

Benefits of the Laser Procedure

The laser technique for treating peri-implantitis is considered minimally invasive and does not cause any thermal damage. The healing process is rapid, and there is no need for downtime. Moreover, the technique is associated with reduced inflammatory responses and is helpful in maintaining the long-term success of the implant. In addition to providing precision, the use of lasers can also lower the risk of infection.
