LAPIP® in Wooster and Medina
Just as periodontitis affects natural teeth, peri-implantitis is an infection that can develop around one or more dental implants. Laser gum disease treatment with Dr. Lemke and Dr. Mehandru in Medina, OH, can effectively address this condition.
Symptoms of peri-implantitis include bone loss near the affected implant as well as receding and inflamed gums. Just as laser gum surgery can help save infected teeth, early diagnosis and treatment of peri-implantitis can help save dental implants, prevent further bone loss, and restore gum health.
Poor oral hygiene is often a leading cause of peri-implantitis, much like periodontal disease. However, it may also be linked to underlying health conditions. Early diagnosis is crucial, as new research suggests a possible connection between peri-implantitis and serious conditions like heart disease, cancer, and stroke. If you are experiencing symptoms, scheduling a consultation for gum disease treatment with Dr. Lemke and Dr. Mehandru is a smart decision.
Treating Peri-Implantitis with Laser Gum Surgery in Medina, OH
Dr. Lemke and Dr. Mehandru routinely use laser technology to treat natural teeth, but this approach is also proving highly effective for saving dental implants.
LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is very similar to LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) and is used to safely and successfully treat peri-implantitis.
Using the PerioLase® MVP-7™, a state-of-the-art, FDA-cleared dental laser, Dr. Lemke and Dr. Mehandru can eliminate inflammation caused by peri-implantitis. Just like LANAP®, this laser treatment encourages the regeneration of healthy gum tissue and bone, allowing them to resume their support of the dental implant.
The precision of LAPIP® ensures that only diseased tissue is removed, while healthy gum tissue remains untouched, making it a minimally invasive, highly effective treatment.
