Protect Your Implants and Preserve Your Smile with Advanced Laser Solutions
Dental implants offer a strong, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and are known for their long-term success. However, in rare cases, complications such as peri-implantitis, a gum infection that forms around the implant, can occur and threaten its stability.
If you’re experiencing gum inflammation, bleeding, or bone loss around your dental implants in Dublin, PA, Dr. Joseph Mustazza uses advanced LAPIP laser therapy to treat infection and help save your implants!
What Is LAPIP Per-Implantitis Treatment?
LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is an innovative laser therapy treatment that offers a minimally invasive approach to treating peri-implantitis or implant failures in Dublin, PA. At Buxmont Periodontics, we specialize in LAPIP procedures, providing you with effective, comfortable, and efficient treatment options to save your dental implants.
This technique offers a minimally invasive approach to treating peri-implantitis, utilizing a state-of-the-art laser to kill bacteria and stimulate the regrowth of bone and soft tissue around your implants and teeth. LAPIP peri-implantitis treatment enables us to not only provide you with a high level of care but also reduce the amount of discomfort and treatment time compared to traditional periodontal treatment approaches.
What Causes Failing Dental Implants?
- Peri-implantitis (infection around the implant)
- Poor oral hygiene
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Uncontrolled diabetes or systemic health conditions
- Insufficient bone support
- Excessive bite forces or grinding (bruxism)
- Poor initial implant placement
What Is the LAPIP Process for Failing Dental Implants?
Your visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Mustazza to assess signs of peri-implantitis and the health of your dental implant. Using advanced imaging and precise measurements, he determines the extent of infection and bone loss.
Once the area is numbed for comfort, a fine laser fiber is inserted around the implant to remove diseased tissue and bacteria—similar to laser gum therapy used for natural teeth.
After eliminating the infection causing your failing dental implants, the implant surface is carefully decontaminated using specialized ultrasonic instruments to remove buildup and flush away debris.
The laser is then reapplied at a lower intensity to stimulate clot formation and bone regeneration. This process creates a clean, protected environment that promotes healing and strengthens the bone around your implant.
Following treatment, the gum tissue is gently compressed around the implant to seal the area and prevent reinfection. Healing is typically quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime. As your bone regenerates, we will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and maintain long-term stability through ongoing implant maintenance.
