Dental implants offer a fantastic solution for replacing missing teeth, but just like natural teeth, they require proper care to avoid gum disease. Unfortunately, gum disease around implants, known as peri-implantitis, can progress faster and lead to implant failure.

Advanced periodontal and peri-implant treatments

Implants are an investment in your smile and overall well-being. Taking proactive steps to prevent gum disease ensures their long-term success and allows you to enjoy a confident, healthy smile for years to come.

Here's what you need to know:

• Two conditions: Peri-implantitis starts with peri-implant mucositis, affecting the soft tissue around the implant. Left untreated, it can progress to peri-implantitis, impacting the bone supporting the implant.

• Higher risk: Statistics show that 30% of implant failures stem from gum disease, and it seems to progress more rapidly around implants than natural teeth.

• Prevention is key: A personalised post-implant treatment plan focusing on prevention is crucial for long-term success.

Remember: Implants are an investment in your smile and overall well-being. Taking proactive steps to prevent gum disease ensures their long-term success and allows you to enjoy a confident, healthy smile for years to come.

Promoting Healing Through PRGF
Platelets Rich in Growth Factor (PRGF) is a relatively recent breakthrough in dentistry and the technology helps to repair the gum tissue around the bone by using your body’s own resources.

Growth factors are proteins which we all have and are naturally found in platelets, and by activating your platelets, we can stimulate and accelerate the tissue healing and regeneration process, effectively reducing healing time post treatment.

And, because it’s coming from your own body, it will never be rejected.

We use PRGF for a number of treatments here at Bridge Street Dental Practice
including:
• post on extraction
• implant placement
• bone graft
• tissue graft
• sinus lifts
• …and much more.
