LAPIP Failing Dental Implants - Boise & Meridian, ID

Innovative LAPIP Treatment for Failing Dental Implants

Schedule Consultation

We Offer Precision Solutions for Implant Complications

Getting dental implants should lead to a strong, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. While dental implants are the number one tooth replacement option, issues such as implant failure can still occur. If you’ve undergone dental implant treatment but are experiencing swelling, pain, or infection around your implants, it’s crucial to seek care from our expert team in Boise and Meridian, ID. Under-engineering, where too few implants are placed or positioned incorrectly to support a prosthesis, can lead to uneven pressure distribution and eventual problems. Peri-implantitis—a type of gum disease—can cause chronic inflammation around the implant and damage the bone surrounding the implant post. Addressing these issues requires the expertise of our team of periodontists, who can assess your condition and, if necessary, remove and replace the implant using advanced technology and techniques

What Is LAPIP?

LAPIP, or Laser-Assisted Peri-Implant Procedure, is the only FDA-approved laser treatment for failing dental implants. Like LANAP for periodontal disease, the procedure involves a specialized laser that can eliminate bacteria and diseased tissue without damaging healthy cells.

The laser uses specific wavelengths that stimulate your body’s natural healing process to regenerate bone and restore a healthy support system for your implant. That means we can return your implant to complete stability without requiring scalpels or stitches.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Treatment for Peri-Implantitis?

  • The non-surgical process prevents potential complications
  • No cutting or sutures are involved for a comfortable healing process
  • Targets and eliminates sources of infection and inflammation
  • Stimulates bone regeneration to rebuild support for the implant
  • Preserves healthy tissue
  • Reduces inflammation and discomfort from peri-implantitis
  • Saves failing dental implants, preventing the need for costly replacements
  • Provides long-term stability for lasting oral health

What You Can Expect from the LAPIP Process

Like every treatment at Idaho Perio, we’ll perform a thorough evaluation to determine if LAPIP is the right solution for your failing dental implants. If so, we’ll start with safe and effective pain control to ensure your comfort throughout the process (which usually only takes a little numbing).

From there, we’ll use the laser to vaporize bacteria, corrosion, contaminants, and diseased tissue from the affected area before cleaning the area with an ultrasonic scaler. A second application of the laser will stimulate bone regeneration and form a sticky clot to seal the area as it heals, preventing infection.
Because peri-implantitis can frequently occur because of an improper bite, we may adjust your restoration to relieve excess pressure and ensure lasting success for your smile!
