LAPIP™ Solves Peri-Implantitis Using High-Tech Lasers

If you’re experiencing symptoms of peri-implantitis, there’s a minimally invasive and highly effective solution available—LAPIP™. This laser-based procedure uses the PerioLase® MVP-7™ handheld laser to remove infected gum tissue, stimulate bone growth, and encourage healthy reattachment of the gums around the implant. During LAPIP™, the area is numbed for comfort and healing begins almost immediately. Thanks to its precision and gentle nature, LAPIP™ causes minimal discomfort and inflammation. It’s especially helpful in treating failing dental implants before the condition worsens. If you’re in Houston, TX and suspect issues with your dental implants, don’t wait—contact Dr. Friedberg to schedule a consultation and learn how LAPIP™ can help restore your oral health.

Why A Dental Implant May Fail

When you receive a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, it should be cared for just like your natural teeth. That means daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings. The gums around your implant also need to be cleaned thoroughly to prevent complications. Unfortunately, patients sometimes forget that implants need ongoing care. Skipping routine check-ups or not flossing properly between the implant and adjacent teeth can allow harmful bacteria to grow. When bacteria reach deep into the gums, it can lead to peri-implantitis—a serious condition that inflames and damages the connective tissues and bone around the implant. Another common cause of failure is poor surgical placement. If an implant wasn’t positioned correctly, it may irritate the surrounding tissues or bone. When you visit Dr. Friedberg, he’ll assess the root cause and offer customized treatment options to restore your oral health.
