What Is Peri-implantitis?
Understanding Implant Gum Disease
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the gums and underlying bone supporting a dental implant. If left untreated, it can lead to bone destruction, implant loosening, or even loss. Early diagnosis and professional intervention are essential to preserve oral health and protect your implant investment.
What are the Signs and Causes of Peri-implantitis?
Symptoms and Risk Factors
Common symptoms of peri-implantitis include red, swollen gums, bleeding on brushing, and gradual bone loss visible on scans. Causes vary, often linked to poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, or excess bite pressure placed on the implant. Regular reviews help detect these issues early.
