Gum Problem Around Dental Implant

A gum problem around and implant can be the beginning of the end for the implant.

Gum Problem Implants VS. Teeth

Because dental implants are not teeth they behave differently than natural teeth. Dental implants need extra thick gums. They also need as much gum as possible around them.

In this video I described 2 types of gum tissue that we all have. There is a proportion of “good gum” that is attached and strong, versus loose gum that is found closer to our lips.

Symptoms Of Gum Problems Around Implants

If you are experiencing redness, tenderness, pain, bleeding, pockets, inflammation around your implant there is likely a gum problem. These are the common symptoms of a gum problem around dental implants . Of course brushing it very well will help but if the gum is not healthy it likely needs to be surgically corrected.

Gum grafting can some of the problems.
