Can advanced peri implantitis be treated?

Question

I have advanced peri implantitis from an implant that was placed about 5 years ago. I've sought advice from professionals and received contradictory advice. The oral surgeon said to go to a periodontist who will treat with bone and gum tissue grafting. The periodontist said to go to a oral surgeon to have it removed. How can I find the right doctor for this?

Patricia Moezinia, DDS · Answer

Peri-implantitis is the periodontal disease of implants, so the specialist to achieve the best result would be a periodontist. This exchange of opinions could have happened, because the surgeon saw a possibility to save the implant, however the periodontist, more specialized in regenerative tissues observed that there is no solution. At Empower Your Smile, the periodontist Dr. Bagga will guide you to the best treatment plan. He specializes in bone and periodontal regeneration techniques, and will help you make the best treatment decision.
