Peri-Implantitis (Gum Disease Around Dental Implants)

At Sunny Dental Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating peri-implantitis — a serious inflammatory condition affecting the gums and bone surrounding dental implants. While dental implants are highly successful, maintaining healthy gum tissue around them is essential for long-term stability.

If you are experiencing inflammation, bleeding, or discomfort around your implant, early treatment at Sunny Dental Care can help preserve your implant and protect your oral health.

What Is Peri-Implantitis?

Peri-implantitis is a progressive infection that damages both the soft tissue and supporting bone around a dental implant. It is similar to gum disease around natural teeth and can eventually lead to implant failure if untreated.

At Sunny Dental Care, we focus on early detection and effective treatment to prevent bone loss and restore a healthy environment around your implant.

Signs of Peri-Implantitis

Common symptoms include:
  • $Swollen or red gums around the implant
  • $Bleeding during brushing
  • $Persistent bad breath
  • $Gum recession
  • $Deep pockets around implants
  • $Pain when chewing
  • $Implant looseness
If you notice these signs, the team at Sunny Dental Care recommends immediate evaluation to prevent further complications.

Causes and Risk Factors

Peri-implantitis can develop due to:
  • $Poor oral hygiene
  • $Smoking
  • $History of periodontal disease
  • $Diabetes or systemic conditions
  • $Improper implant positioning
  • $Excess bite pressure
At Sunny Dental Care, we carefully assess these risk factors to create a personalized treatment plan.

Peri-Implantitis Treatment Options at Sunny Dental Care

Treatment depends on severity and may include:

Professional Cleaning and Debridement

Removal of plaque and bacterial buildup from implant surfaces.

Laser Therapy

Advanced laser treatment to eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation.

Surgical Treatment

In advanced cases, flap surgery may be required to thoroughly clean the implant and regenerate lost bone through bone grafting procedures.

Our goal at Sunny Dental Care is to stop disease progression, stabilize the implant, and restore gum health.
