With proper care, dental implants are built to last a lifetime. However, complications like peri-implantitis can threaten their long-term success. This condition occurs when bacteria build up around the implant, leading to gum inflammation, bone loss, and, ultimately, failing dental implants.
Our board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Ryan Hambleton at Highlands Ranch Oral & Facial Surgery, is proud to offer LAPIP™ in Highlands Ranch, CO, an advanced, non-surgical solution to reverse even severe peri-implantitis to preserve and protect your smile.
We understand that getting dental implants is a significant investment, and the possibility of losing them to peri-implantitis can feel incredibly discouraging. LAPIP (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) ensures they last as long as possible using a minimally invasive laser treatment that targets and removes the infected tissue around a dental implant without damaging healthy surrounding tissue.
It eliminates bacteria, supports natural healing, and encourages bone regeneration to stabilize compromised implants. Unlike traditional surgery, LAPIP offers a more comfortable, effective way to preserve and restore failing dental implants.
We start by gently numbing the area and using safe, effective sedation before removing infected tissue and bacteria around the implant with a specialized dental laser.
A second laser pass helps seal the area, reduce bleeding, and stimulate healthy gum and bone tissue regeneration. With proper follow-up and implant maintenance, this approach can effectively manage peri-implantitis and support long-term implant success.
