Implant Maintenance
Protect Your Investment in a Healthy Smile
What is Peri-Implantitis?
This is a destructive inflammatory process affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants.
It happens due to bacterial plaque around the implant which makes the gum valuable to bacteria infection. If plaque is not removed properly, it will cause inflammation.
If left untreated, surrounding bone around the implant can be lost and make the implant useless.
This will require removal of the failed implant in the worst scenario.
*The therapy of peri-implantitis comprises (a) the nonsurgical phase, which includes debridement by mechanical means, ultrasonic, or laser devices, either alone or combined with antiseptic and/or antibiotic agents and (b) the surgical phase, utilizing either resective or regenerative techniques.

Know What to Look For in a Dental Cleaning
A quality dental cleaning should be more than a quick polish. Here's what defines a good treatment:
Comprehensive Oral Examination
Not just a cleaning — your dentist should assess your gums, teeth, and oral hygiene before starting.
Gentle, Thorough Scaling
Plaque and tartar should be removed carefully using both ultrasonic and hand instruments, not rushed or overly aggressive.
Polishing with Purpose
Be cautious if polishing is done only with a rubber cup — that’s typically used for children. Adult stains often require airflow polishing (ProphyJet) for effective stain removal. Ask if this option is available.
Cleaning Done by a Dentist vs. Hygienist
When done by a dentist, you're getting care from someone trained to identify and treat overall oral health issues — not just polish teeth. This includes spotting early decay, bite problems, or gum disease.
Charting & Documentation
Are they recording your gum health, pocket depths, or plaque levels? Proper charting helps track progress and detect issues early.
Before & After Visibility
Can you see the difference? A quality clinic will often show you before-and-after images — especially when using high-magnification or intraoral cameras — so you're not just told, but shown what’s been cleaned.
