Why you are here

An implant placed years ago isn't always fine. Peri-implantitis erodes bone silently until it's too late.

We diagnose with specific probing and X-rays, disinfect the implant surface, regenerate bone when needed, and give you a written maintenance plan for each implant. If you have an inflamed implant or gum pulling back around one, that can be treated too: removing it isn't the only option.

  • Implants placed more than 3 years ago without specialized follow-up
  • Bleeding or inflammation around the implant
  • Previous diagnosis of peri-implantitis
  • A second opinion before removing an implant
