LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) DFW

What is LAPIP® Procedure?

Peri-implantitis, an infection affecting the area around dental implants, can lead to implant failure if not treated promptly. It is often associated with gum disease, which can compromise the health of both natural teeth and implants.

LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is an FDA-approved treatment for this condition, offering a non-invasive, highly effective method to eliminate infection and restore health to the implant site.

Unlike traditional treatments, which may involve extensive surgery and the removal of tissue, LAPIP® uses a laser to carefully target and eliminate the infection around the implant, all while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue. This laser technology accelerates healing, reduces discomfort, and promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue, ensuring that your implant remains intact and functional.

LAPIP® is the recommended treatment for a range of implant-related concerns, including:

  • Peri-implantitis (infection around dental implants)
  • Failing dental implants
  • Prevention of implant failure due to infection

LAPIP® vs. Traditional Gum Surgery

Why is LAPIP® better than conventional gum surgery?

Patients with peri-implantitis have two primary treatment options: traditional methods or LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure).

Traditional Treatment involves surgically removing infected tissue around the implant and possibly reshaping or grafting the bone. This may require multiple visits, general anesthesia, and significant recovery time.

LAPIP®, however, uses advanced laser technology to target and eliminate infection while preserving the healthy tissue around the implant. The procedure typically takes less time, requires no sutures, and promotes faster healing, making it a far more comfortable and effective option for patients.

LAPIP® procedures are FDA-approved, minimally invasive, and can typically be completed in just 30–45 minutes. When performed by a certified clinician, LAPIP® delivers long-lasting results with reduced discomfort, ensuring that your implants stay healthy without the need for traditional, more invasive surgery

Gum disease affects millions of Americans, yet many fail to seek treatment, unaware of the serious health risks it poses, such as diabetes, heart disease, and pancreatic cancer.

Peri-implantitis is a serious condition that affects dental implants and the surrounding gum tissue, leading to inflammation, infection, and potential implant failure. LAPIP® (Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure) is an advanced, FDA-approved laser treatment designed specifically to treat this condition and save implants from further damage.

Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during complex dental procedures or for those with sensitive teeth or dental anxiety. Various levels of sedation are available, including mild, moderate, and deep sedation. These sedatives work by calming the central nervous system, reducing conscious awareness, and ensuring a more comfortable dental experience.

Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health and preventing dental problems before they occur. Through regular check-ups, cleanings, and early intervention, preventive dentistry helps avoid issues like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss, saving patients time and money in the long run.

Oral cancer screening is a vital preventive procedure that helps detect early signs of oral cancer, including unusual growths, sores, or changes in tissues. Regular screenings can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment by identifying cancer at an early, more treatable stage. This quick and non-invasive procedure is essential for maintaining overall oral health and ensuring early intervention.

Oral pathology involves the diagnosis and study of diseases affecting the mouth, gums, and surrounding tissues. If abnormal growths or lesions are detected during a dental exam, a biopsy may be performed to collect tissue samples for further analysis. This procedure helps identify whether a condition is benign or malignant, ensuring timely treatment and preventing serious oral health issues through early detection.
