Laser Treatment for Failing Implants (LAPIP)

For individuals dealing with failing dental implants, the LAPIP protocol utilizes advanced laser treatment to regenerate healthy gum tissue and reintegrate the implants.

Restore the Health of Your Dental Implants With LAPIP Protocol

If you're having trouble with your dental implants, you may be a good fit for the LAPIP protocol at Dion Health Services. The LAPIP (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) protocol represents a revolutionary approach to the treatment of peri-implantitis, a condition that affects the tissues surrounding dental implants. This innovative, minimally invasive procedure utilizes advanced laser technology to effectively target and eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and promote the regeneration of healthy tissue around compromised implants. Unlike traditional methods, the LAPIP Protocol preserves the integrity of the implant and surrounding bone, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient healing process for patients.

What Is the LAPIP Protocol?

The LAPIP protocol is a cutting-edge laser treatment designed to reintegrate failing dental implants. Specifically, this procedure is used to treat peri-implantitis. Utilizing advanced laser technology, the LAPIP protocol targets and eliminates bacteria and infected tissue without the need for invasive surgery.

Benefits of the LAPIP Protocol

For individuals dealing with peri-implantitis, the LAPIP protocol can offer all of the following benefits:

Minimally Invasive

The LAPIP protocol utilizes advanced laser technology, eliminating the need for scalpel incisions and sutures, resulting in less trauma to the surrounding tissues.

Reduced Pain and Discomfort

Patients typically experience less pain and discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods, leading to a more comfortable treatment experience.

Preservation of Healthy Tissue

The precision of the laser allows for the targeted removal of infected tissue while preserving healthy gum and bone, promoting better overall oral health.

Faster Healing Time

With less tissue damage and inflammation, the healing process is quicker, allowing patients to return to their normal activities sooner.

Effective Bacterial Elimination

The laser effectively eliminates bacteria and disinfects the area around the implant, reducing the risk of re-infection.

Bone and Tissue Regeneration

The LAPIP protocol stimulates the regeneration of bone and soft tissue, helping to restore the structural integrity around the implant.

Improved Implant Longevity

By effectively treating peri-implantitis and promoting healthy tissue regeneration, the LAPIP protocol helps extend the life of dental implants.

Reduced Risk of Implant Failure

Addressing the underlying infection and inflammation helps prevent further complications and reduces the likelihood of implant failure.

Minimal Downtime

Patients can typically resume their daily activities with minimal downtime, enhancing convenience and quality of life.

Safe and Proven Technology

The use of advanced laser technology in the LAPIP protocol is both safe and backed by clinical research, ensuring reliable and effective treatment outcomes.

The LAPIP protocol can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, providing a personalized approach to peri-implantitis treatment.

What to Expect During Your LAPIP Protocol Treatment

When you undergo treatment with the LAPIP protocol at Dion Health Services, you can expect a straightforward and comfortable procedure designed to address peri-implantitis effectively. Typically, the treatment process will consist of the following steps:

Initial Consultation

During your first visit, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your dental implants and surrounding tissues. Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, may be used to assess the extent of infection and bone loss.

Preparation

Before the procedure begins, your dentist will ensure you are comfortable. Local anesthesia will be administered to numb the treatment area, ensuring you experience minimal discomfort.

Laser Treatment

Using advanced laser technology, your dentist will precisely target and eliminate the bacteria and infected tissue around your dental implant. The laser's precision ensures that only the diseased tissue is removed, preserving healthy gum and bone.

Cleaning and Disinfection

The laser not only removes infected tissue but also thoroughly cleans and disinfects the implant surface and surrounding area. This helps reduce the risk of further infection and promotes a healthier environment for healing.

Stimulating Tissue Regeneration

The laser treatment stimulates your body's natural healing processes, encouraging the regeneration of healthy gum and bone tissue. This is crucial for restoring the structural integrity around your implant.

Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, your dentist will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. This may include guidelines on oral hygiene, diet, and activities to avoid during the recovery period.

You'll also need to schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. Your dentist will check the treated area to ensure that the infection has been successfully managed and that your gum and bone are regenerating properly.
