Laser Treatments for Patients with Implants
Proper care of implants is critical for their long-term success. Patients with implants often face issues such as peri-implantitis, an inflammation of the tissues around the implant that can lead to bone loss and implant failure if not addressed promptly.
At Alimos Laser clinic, laser treatments for implants provide a modern, painless, and highly effective solution.
The laser disinfects the periodontal pockets around the implant in depth, reduces bacteria,
limits inflammation, and accelerates tissue healing, ensuring healthy gums and long-term implant stability.
What is Peri-Implantitis?
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition of the soft and hard tissues around the implant, causing bleeding,
swelling, bad breath, and if untreated, bone loss. Laser treatment is the most advanced method for management:
- Disinfects periodontal pockets in depth
- Reduces inflammation without tissue damage
- Accelerates healing and reduces discomfort
Laser is especially suitable for implant patients, offering precise, targeted, and painless treatment,
which is difficult to achieve with conventional methods.
Tips for Patients with Implants
- Have regular laser cleaning every 3–6 months depending on gum condition.
- Strictly follow home oral hygiene.
- Monitor for signs of inflammation or bleeding around the implant.
- Avoid smoking and excessive sugar intake, which increase the risk of peri-implantitis.
