LAPIP™ Offers a Modern Solution for Implant Complications

Dental implants are one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth, but complications can still happen in some cases. Issues like infection, poor healing, or bone deterioration may lead to discomfort, swelling, or implant instability, often linked to peri-implantitis.

At Avenue Dental Care, we offer an advanced, minimally invasive treatment called the Laser-Assisted Peri-Implant Procedure (LAPIP) in Everett and Puyallup, WA, to restore your implants! Using precise laser technology, our team can target infection, preserve healthy tissue, and give failing implants a second chance at long-term success.

What Are the Common Causes of Implant Complications?

LAPIP Treatment Vs. Traditional Gum Surgery

Traditional surgical methods for treating peri-implantitis often require cutting into the gums and removing tissue. LAPIP takes an entirely different approach. This minimally invasive treatment eliminates harmful bacteria without incisions or stitches using advanced laser technology.

At Avenue Dental Care in Everett and Puyallup, WA, LAPIP precisely removes infected tissue while protecting healthy bone and gum. The result is a comfortable, precise treatment that encourages natural healing and allows patients to recover more quickly!

How LAPIP Works When Treating Failing Dental Implants

We begin with a thorough evaluation at our Everett and Puyallup, WA, offices using digital imaging and clinical exams to confirm the presence of peri-implantitis and assess the health of your implant and surrounding bone.

A tiny fiber, thinner than a human hair, is gently inserted between your gum and implant to begin the laser treatment. This step is virtually painless and requires no incisions.

The laser precisely removes infected gum tissue and bacteria without harming healthy areas. This step is crucial for stopping the progression of peri-implantitis.

Next, we clean and decontaminate the implant’s surface to remove bacterial buildup contributing to infection and inflammation.

We then use the laser to create a stable, protective clot around the implant site. This helps jumpstart the healing process and prevent re-infection.

Your gum tissue is gently compressed back into place, and no sutures are needed. The body begins healing immediately in a clean, bacteria-free environment.

In follow-up visits, we monitor tissue health and bone regeneration to ensure the implant is stabilizing. Many patients see significant recovery and implant success over time.
