All things considered, dental implants are highly safe and effective, and they are by far the best modern-day solution when it comes to correcting missing or severely damaged teeth. In fact, research shows that osseointegrated implants have a less than 2% rate of failure even after a decade of normal daily use. Of course, there is always a risk for adverse effects when it comes to placing dental implants, and this is true before, during, or after the surgical procedure.
If you are suffering from failing dental implants, including implant-related complications such as peri-implantitis, Dr. Heath A. Lampee and the team at Teeth in 24 in Beaverton, OR can help. With over 15 years of dental implant experience, Dr. Lampee is one of just several hundred dentists globally to have earned the title of diplomat with the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID). No matter the complications that your dental implants may be giving you, Dr. Lampee and his experienced team guarantee to help you find a reliable long-term solution.
When dental implants are placed correctly and the patient has healthy gums and strong bone mass in the jaw, there are rarely any complications in either the short or long term. However, if a dentist has placed implants in a patient with poor gum health or bone deterioration, serious complications can arise from infection and inflammation. Below you’ll find a few of the most common reasons why you may be experiencing problems with your dental implants.
Dr. Lampee is well-versed and experienced in a variety of treatment protocols aimed at repairing failing dental implants. We offer LAPIP gum disease treatment in instances of peri-implantitis, wherein a high-intensity laser is used to eliminate infection and inflammation at the site of the implant, without damaging healthy surrounding soft tissue. We are also able to repair failing implants by replacing hardware, milling new restorations, or both. Whatever treatment is needed in order to repair your failing implants, Dr. Lampee guarantees to help you find a reliable, effective solution.
