By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, but like natural teeth, they require proper care. At Summerbrook Dental, we offer specialized treatment for peri-implantitis, a condition that occurs when the tissue and bone around a dental implant become inflamed or infected.
What Is Peri-Implantitis?
Peri-implantitis is similar to gum disease but affects the area around an implant. It can cause redness, swelling, bleeding gums, discomfort, or even bone loss if left untreated. Early diagnosis and care are key to protecting your implant.
Our Treatment Approach
Treatment may involve deep cleaning around the implant, removing bacteria, and disinfecting the affected area. In more advanced cases, we may recommend regenerative techniques to restore lost bone and tissue. Our goal is to save your implant and restore a healthy foundation for your smile.
Why Choose Summerbrook Dental
With advanced technology and a patient-focused approach, our team is committed to preserving your oral health and the success of your implants. We’ll design a personalized treatment plan to stop the infection and help you maintain long-term results.
