Q: Dear Dr. Linden,
I had a bone graft and three implants placed on my right lower Jaw in 2007. Soon afterwards I started losing bone around them and had to have another bone graft. I continued to have bone loss and have now 6-7 mm pockets. The gum around one of the implants is often sensitive and often bleeds. My periodontist has tried several things such as cutting some muscle in the mouth that he thinks was pulling on the gums (it grew back), using Avastin, a mouth guard, Peridex, etc. , but the problem continues. He has not referred me to another periodontist that is trained in LANAP. Do you do LANAP around implants? Is it effective? I was told it will just need to be done in the quadrant of my mouth with the problem because my natural teeth are OK.
A: Yes, we treat natural teeth and dental implants with the laser protocol. We would need to see you for a consultation first to review a treatment plan. If interested, give us a call.
I look forward to helping you.
Best Regards,
Dr. Eric Linden
