At Swiss Dental, we prioritize long-term implant health. Using the Zimmer Biomet Dental Implant System and advanced imaging, we ensure implants are placed with precision and monitored over time. Peri-implantitis typically results from poor oral hygiene, smoking, systemic diseases, or excessive biting forces.
Early signs include red, swollen gums around the implant, bleeding when brushing, and sometimes pus or mobility of the implant. We perform comprehensive evaluations using digital X-rays and periodontal probing to assess bone levels and inflammation.
Treatment depends on severity. In early cases, professional cleanings, antibacterial rinses, and improved oral hygiene can reverse the condition. For more advanced peri-implantitis, we may use laser therapy, mechanical debridement, and localized antibiotic treatments. In severe cases, regenerative surgery may be required to restore lost bone and tissue.
Prevention is key—our patients receive detailed care instructions after implant placement and regular maintenance cleanings. If you have a dental implant and notice changes or discomfort, contact Swiss Dental for a professional assessment.
