Failing Dental Implants - Lake Havasu City, AZ

Renewed Confidence Starts with Healthy Gums

What Is LAPIP?

LAPIP, or Laser-Assisted Perio-Implant Procedure, treats pre-implants and inflammation around dental implants. This inflammation can cause severe and persistent discomfort that does not go away. LAPIP uses lasers to kill bacteria around implants and creates a blood clot around the implant to seal a pocket of gum tissue around it. If not treated correctly, peri-implantitis can lead to failing dental implants due to gum disease.

LAPIP can help treat failing dental implants by removing infected gum tissue around the implant. By treating peri-implantitis, LAPIP can help regenerate healthy tissue around the implant and possibly rebuild bone lost to failing dental implants. If you are dealing with implant failures and want to treat peri-implantitis, then the LAPIP procedure may be the right fit for you.

How LAPIP Can Save Your Dental Implants

LAPIP is designed to address peri-implantitis, an inflammation around dental implants. This procedure utilizes lasers to eliminate bacteria surrounding the implant and form a blood clot to seal off a gum tissue pocket around the implant.

LAPIP effectively addresses this concern by preserving the bone surrounding the implant. By utilizing laser technology, this procedure eliminates detrimental bacteria and promotes bone stimulation, thereby preserving its strength and integrity. Using the LAPIP technique, your jawbone remains robust and healthy, ensuring the long-term preservation of your oral well-being.

The Benefits of LAPIP

Laser Treatment for Lasting Implant Health

Before addressing peri-implantitis, we ensure a painless experience by carefully numbing the area. We gently remove hardened buildup on the implant post, eliminate diseased tissue, and eradicate bacteria and disease-causing proteins from the affected site using specialized dental laser technology.

We utilize ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to ensure a pristine surface for new tissue attachment during healing. The laser also cauterizes surrounding gums, promoting clot formation and expediting healing. With LAPIP treatment typically completed in just one visit, we effectively halt peri-implantitis progression and preserve failing dental implants.
