Peri-implantitis is a serious condition affecting dental implants, similar to gum disease around natural teeth. At London Dental Specialists, we understand your concerns about implant health and longevity. Our specialists offer comprehensive treatment options ranging from non-surgical approaches like professional cleaning and antimicrobial therapy to advanced surgical interventions including debridement, bone recontouring, and regenerative procedures. Early intervention is crucial, as peri-implantitis won't resolve without proper treatment. While home care plays an important role in prevention and maintenance, professional assessment and treatment are essential for addressing active infection and preserving your dental implants. Below are answers to common questions about peri-implantitis treatment.
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. It's characterised by inflammation of the gum tissue and progressive loss of supporting bone around a functioning implant. If left untreated, peri-implantitis can lead to implant mobility and eventual failure. The condition is similar to periodontitis (gum disease) but occurs specifically around dental implants rather than natural teeth.
Common signs and symptoms of peri-implantitis include:
Peri-implantitis is primarily caused by bacterial infection similar to gum disease. The main contributing factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, previous history of periodontal disease, and genetic susceptibility. Other risk factors include poor implant placement, excessive bite forces on the implant, and residual cement from the crown attachment process. Regular maintenance and proper oral hygiene are essential for preventing this condition.
At London Dental Specialists, we diagnose peri-implantitis through a comprehensive examination that includes clinical assessment and radiographic evaluation. Our specialists measure pocket depths around the implant, check for bleeding on probing, assess implant mobility, and take detailed X-rays to evaluate bone loss. We may also conduct microbiological testing in some cases to identify specific bacteria causing the infection. Early diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
For early to moderate cases of peri-implantitis, London Dental Specialists offers several non-surgical treatment options including professional mechanical cleaning using specialised instruments, local antimicrobial therapy with chlorhexidine application, laser decontamination of the implant surface, and antibiotic therapy when necessary. We also provide detailed oral hygiene instructions and recommend antimicrobial mouthwashes to support home care. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and response to treatment.
For advanced peri-implantitis cases, London Dental Specialists offers surgical interventions including access flap surgery with thorough debridement of the implant surface, resective surgery to recontour bone and reduce pocket depths, and regenerative procedures using bone grafts with or without membranes to rebuild lost bone. In some cases, we may use growth factors or plasma rich in platelets to enhance healing. Our specialists select the most appropriate surgical approach based on the extent of bone loss and individual patient factors.
While peri-implantitis cannot be completely \"cured\" in the traditional sense, it can be effectively managed and its progression halted with proper treatment. With early intervention and appropriate therapy at London Dental Specialists, the inflammation can be resolved, and in some cases, lost bone can be partially regenerated. However, ongoing maintenance and vigilant oral hygiene are essential to prevent recurrence. The condition will not resolve on its own and requires professional treatment.
To prevent peri-implantitis after receiving dental implants, follow these essential steps:
The timeline for seeing results from peri-implantitis treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition and the type of treatment provided. With non-surgical therapy, improvements in gum inflammation and bleeding can be observed within 2-4 weeks. Surgical treatments typically show significant improvements in tissue health within 1-3 months, while bone regeneration, when possible, may take 6-12 months to achieve substantial results. With proper maintenance and follow-up care, successful treatment outcomes can be maintained long-term.
London Dental Specialists offers a comprehensive approach to peri-implantitis treatment that combines advanced diagnostic technology, specialised surgical expertise, and personalised maintenance protocols. Our team includes periodontists and implantologists with specific training in managing implant complications. We utilise the latest techniques including laser therapy, growth factors, and minimally invasive surgical approaches when appropriate. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual patient's needs, with a strong emphasis on long-term maintenance and prevention of recurrence.
