So what do you do about an implant that is starting to lose bone, develop deep pockets, bleeds, or is tender? Or sometimes you’re not even aware of problems, and your dentist or hygienist is making you aware of concerns. There are two terms: “peri-implant mucositis” and “peri-implantitis” used often within dental implantology.

Your best prevention is to go for your regularly scheduled checkups so that your dentist can help you keep an eye on your investment.
