Peri-Implantitis treatment in Querétaro

Peri-implantitis is an inflammation of the tissues that surround a dental implant, in which the bone that supports it is affected. It is comparable to gum disease, but it occurs around an implant.

Common symptoms: Reddened or inflamed gums near the implant, bleeding when brushing, bad breath, and, in advanced cases, a sensation that the implant is losing its firmness.

Common causes: It is usually associated with the buildup of bacterial plaque, insufficient hygiene, and factors that hinder the healing of the tissues.

Which specialist treats it? The periodontist focuses on the supporting tissues, while the implantologist and the dentist follow up on the implant; the maxillofacial surgeon intervenes in more complex situations. Reviewing any discomfort around an implant in time with your trusted dentist helps to preserve its function.
