Peri-implantitis is a bacterial infection that affects the tissues surrounding a dental implant.
It is characterized by inflammation associated with progressive bone loss, which may compromise implant stability if left untreated.
Common signs may include:
• Gum bleeding
• Swelling
• Sensitivity
• Persistent bad breath
It is important to distinguish it from peri-implant mucositis, which is reversible when diagnosed early.
Peri-implantitis, however, requires professional intervention to prevent progression.
Dental implants are safe and highly effective, but they require periodic maintenance and regular clinical follow-up.
At OdontoFlorida, we perform detailed evaluations to preserve peri-implant tissue health and ensure long-term implant success.
Care is continuous.
