Peri-Implantitis Treatment

Missing teeth not only create an unsightly appearance but also cause adjacent teeth to shift. One of the most modern methods for replacing missing teeth is dental implantation. With our expert teams and state-of-the-art equipment, our dental office has become a leading and most preferred choice for implant treatment.

Due to issues in dental implant applications in the industry, significant and laborious diseases called peri-implantitis can occur. As a result of the implants we apply in our dental office, such problems do not occur, and we also perform successful peri-implantitis treatments for many of our patients.

What is Peri-Implantitis?
Improperly performed dental implant applications can lead to infection in the areas where the implant is placed. This condition is referred to as peri-implantitis.

What Happens if Peri-Implantitis is Not Treated?
Peri-Implantitis is generally known as an infection. If left untreated or if treatment is delayed, it can lead to significant problems. This includes bone loss and resulting instability of the implants. With our advanced imaging devices and specialized dentists at our dental office, we can diagnose this condition early, providing us with a more successful treatment opportunity.

What are the Symptoms of Peri-Implantitis?
We first listen to the complaints of our patients who have undergone implantation at our dental office. Then, we conduct an oral examination and take an x-ray of the area where the implant was placed.

Based on the examination and x-ray results, the most common symptoms of peri-implantitis we encounter are:

  • Redness in the area where the implant was applied
  • Formation of abscess around the implant
  • Bleeding in the gums around the implant site
  • Implants starting to loosen

In addition, with the three-dimensional x-rays we take at our dental office, we can also detect bone loss. Based on these findings, we can make a definitive diagnosis.

What Causes Peri-Implantitis?
Peri-Implantitis is generally caused by two factors: improper implant application and poor quality implant materials. Thanks to our modern implant applications, professional dentists, and the highest quality implant materials in the industry, our dental office provides successful, healthy, and very long-lasting results.

How is Peri-Implantitis Treated?
In our dental office, peri-implantitis treatment is performed using modern laser systems, just like in all advanced countries. With our advanced laser system, we clean the inflamed tissue and bacteria around the implant without damaging the implants. In cases where necessary and appropriate conditions exist, we also perform implant replacements.
