Peri-implant Gum Treatments

Implants, like natural teeth, need the surrounding gum tissue. Maintaining peri-implant gum health is critical for the implant to be long-lasting. Gum inflammations or infections can lead to serious problems up to implant loss.

Peri-implantitis: Peri-implant Infections

Peri-implantitis is the inflammation of tissues around the implant, which can lead to bone resorption and implant loss if not treated. Symptoms include redness, swelling, bleeding and sensitivity. Dr. Dt. Gizem Ömeroğlu prevents the progression of this condition with early diagnosis and effective treatment methods.

Conservative Treatment Methods

In early stage peri-implantitis cases, conservative methods can be applied. Professional dental cleaning, disinfection of the implant surface with special tools and improving oral hygiene are the main treatment approaches. This way, infection is controlled and tissue health is supported.

Cases Requiring Surgical Interventions

Surgical methods are needed in advanced stage inflammations. Infected tissues are cleaned with flap operations, bone grafts and regenerative techniques are used to repair bone and soft tissue. These treatments ensure that tissues around the implant become healthy again.

Long-term Care and Preventive Measures

Regular dentist check-ups are essential for maintaining peri-implant gum health. Correct application of oral hygiene habits, reducing smoking and regular professional cleaning are very important in this process. Dr. Dt. Gizem Ömeroğlu helps implants stay healthy with personalized care programs.
