LAPIP ™ (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Protocol) is the only FDA-cleared laser procedure to treat failing dental implants. Without scalpels or sutures, this highly effective nonsurgical implant infection treatment in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL, enhances the healing of soft tissue around ailing implants. LAPIP laser implant treatment at Care One Dental lessens inflammation and helps damaged bone tissue start to regenerate without damaging the implants.
Unlike traditional implant revision surgery, LAPIP treatment in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL, uses precision laser technology to target infection around dental implants. After undergoing laser treatment for failing dental implants at Care One Dental, you can expect less discomfort, reduced bleeding, and a faster recovery compared to conventional surgical methods.
Persistent pain, swelling, or bleeding around an implant can signal infection or inflammation that shouldn’t be ignored. Other symptoms include gum recession, a loose implant, or difficulty chewing comfortably. In more advanced cases, you may notice pus, a bad taste, and/or exposure of the implant post(s).
Although dental implants have a success rate as high as 98%, poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain systemic diseases, and/or excessive biting forces can increase the risk of peri-implantitis.
This progressive inflammatory condition is similar to gum disease but more aggressive. Early diagnosis and peri-implantitis treatment in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, FL, is essential for preventing loss of soft and hard tissue around dental implants and implant failure.
During the first step, the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser is used to vaporize bacteria, diseased tissue, and titanium corrosion contaminants in soft tissue. Ultrasonic scaler tips are used to remove any surface deposits, and the bone is modified as needed. Then the laser is used again to form a stable blood clot containing activated stem cells from your own bone and create a sealed gum pocket. This encourages healing, soft-tissue reattachment, and bone regeneration around your implants.
