The long-term success of your All-on-4 dental implants depends significantly on the health of your surrounding gum tissue and bone. Our Scottsdale practice provides specialized periodontal maintenance and therapy services to ensure the ongoing health of your implants and remaining natural teeth.
Just like natural teeth, dental implants require healthy surrounding tissues to remain stable and functional. Peri-implantitis—an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues around dental implants—can lead to implant failure if not properly managed. Our comprehensive periodontal services are designed to prevent and treat these issues, protecting your investment in All-on-4 implants.
Before placing All-on-4 implants, we ensure that any existing gum disease is effectively treated. This may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), localized antibiotic therapy, or other treatments to create a healthy foundation for your implants.
We provide regular professional cleanings specifically designed for implant patients. Using specialized instruments that won't damage implant surfaces, we remove biofilm and calculus from around your implants and prosthesis to prevent inflammation and infection.
If inflammation or infection develops around your implants, we offer advanced treatments to address these issues before they threaten implant stability. This may include antimicrobial therapy, laser treatment, or surgical interventions depending on the severity.
We monitor and maintain the health of the gum tissue surrounding your implants, addressing any recession, inflammation, or other concerns that may arise. Healthy, stable gum tissue is essential for both the function and aesthetics of your All-on-4 restoration.
We provide detailed guidance on how to properly care for your All-on-4 implants at home, including specialized cleaning techniques and recommended products. Proper daily maintenance is crucial for long-term implant success.
