Peri-implantitis Treatment
Targeted Care for Infected or Failing Dental Implants
Peri-implant diseases—including peri-implant mucositis 
and peri-implantitis—are inflammatory conditions that affect the tissues surrounding dental implants. Accurate diagnosis through comprehensive clinical and radiographic evaluation is essential for effective management.
Early stages, such as peri-implant mucositis, may be reversible with improved oral hygiene and professional debridement. However, peri-implantitis involves progressive bone loss and requires more advanced intervention.

Answers to Common Questions About Periodontal Disease Treatment in Edmonton
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the gums and bone surrounding a dental implant, often leading to bone loss if left untreated. Treatment typically involves deep cleaning, antimicrobial therapy, and in some cases, surgical intervention to remove infection and regenerate bone. At The Perio Centre, our periodontist in Edmonton, Dr. Disha Nagpal, provides advanced, evidence-based care tailored to the severity of each case.
Common symptoms include bleeding or swollen gums around the implant, discomfort, pus discharge, or even loosening of the implant. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it’s important to schedule an evaluation with a periodontist in Edmonton like Dr. Nagpal, who specializes in diagnosing and treating peri-implant conditions early and effectively.
In its early stage (peri-implant mucositis), the condition may be reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional cleaning. However, once it progresses to peri-implantitis with bone loss, specialized treatment is required. A skilled periodontist in Edmonton can assess the level of damage and recommend the best course of treatment to stabilize and preserve your dental implant.
Surgical treatment may involve lifting the gum tissue to clean the infected area, decontaminating the implant surface, and applying regenerative materials to rebuild lost bone. At The Perio Centre, our Edmonton periodontist uses advanced techniques and tools, including laser-assisted therapy and guided tissue regeneration, to deliver the best outcomes possible.
