Peri-Implantitis (Infected Dental Implant Treatment Options)

Dr. Amar Katranji Goes Into Detail About Peri-Implantitis Causes and What Treatment Options We Have.

Infected Dental Implants are becoming more and more of an issue that we see in our office every day. Peri-Implantitis is becoming such a widespread issue mainly because lot's of people seek out options to get the best dental implants at the lowest cost. What they do not realize is unless a dental implant is placed properly by a highly trained professional, it has higher chance of getting infected. Especially if the patient does not take good care of it. In short, you get what you pay for!

Peri implant disease can cause destruction of the soft tissue and the bone surrounding a dental implant to the point where the implant has to be lost.

With our techniques, we try to save what bone we can so that the implant can be restored and the patient does not have to go through the entire process of bone grafting and dental implant placement a second time for the same tooth.

Implant disease can cause you a lot of pain and discomfort. The infection can also spread very quickly because a dental implant does not have the same defense mechanisms that a natural tooth does. This means that the infection can spread through the gum at a much faster rate and cause you to have an implant infection.

The infected area will start as peri-implant mucositis. If we can catch the problem at this stage it is much more easily treatable than the more advanced stage of Peri-implantitis. This is why it is IMPERATIVE that you come in to see your doctor as soon as you notice the problem before it has a chance to progress into a more sever condition.

If you are experiencing any dental implant pain we would be more than happy to take a look in your mouth and give you some options for treatment.

In our next video Dr. Nemeth will discuss options for how we use a laser to treat Implant disease using a technique called LAPIP.

I couldn't imagine spending so much money on a dental implant just to have it fail so quickly.... Ouch

[nancyk]

Overall (considering all the negatives), what is better for the body???

[catspjs]

I had 6 mini implants poorly placed. I was never satisfied with the care and procedure i received. Now, 3 years later I have swollen gums and they’re red and a hard lump has formed. Ask me how much money I have to go to the dentist. I’ll give you a hint- it’s $0.00. I spent $14, 000 to have crappy work done by a supposed “reputable “ dentist only to be miserable.

[mudangkano]

Shall I have dental implant or not? What shall I do?

[sathsah]

So sad that people have to undergo this. Nothing can replace natural teeth.

[longjohncrypto]

Does the natural tooth still have the natural interwoven fibers to defend against infection, ~after~ a root canal? There is quite a bit of discussion surrounding this now. What is your opinion Dr. Nemeth?

[markjacobs]

Can deep cleaning make your gums more infected since they are probing under the gum line and destroying the fiber

I got an implant with bone graft 4 weeks ago, got an infection and next week the dentist said hes goin to remove it, im on amoxicillin, im so paranoid I'll update yall after if anyone want to know what happened, thanks

[sorrylew]

I had two implants four years ago. No problems with the one. The other... tooth #10 has hurt since. It's hurting now. It has been infected several times. Doc did a second bone graft and tissue graft. They have suggested that I have the implant removed, let it heal and try again. I told them that once it comes out, it's not going back in. They tell me that the implant looks good. They can see nothing wrong. It's a big old mystery, I guess. Between implants, braces, many different kinds of x-rays and constant cleanings since the implants, I have spent over $20, 000 and I'm still in pain. Sigh

[patricia]

Thanks so much for this good information

[jimdean]

Can you pre assest the individual situation prior to your end evaluation an please save grief?

I ask outside of the population that just won't floss, brush, and what not that there teeth have been compromised or anything

[idaho]

I just got an implant yesterday., it's a 2 phase, meaning only the implant got done and I will keep going to the dentist for check ups and then I think a month later he will tell me if the implant it's healed in order to get the crown on top....but right now the office is closed today friday and I have a big lump on top of it and it looks like a piece of liver...I don't know if that is bad or not, but if the dentist does not call me later on I will have to go to another dentist for an emergency service.

[louissirlou]

You forgot about LAPIP. Best way treat failing implants

[Deifabeauty]
