Bleeding around an implant is never something we ignore.🦷 🔍
Bleeding on probing is a significant clinical finding and often an early sign of inflammation around the implant. Unlike natural teeth, implants lack a periodontal ligament and have a different blood supply…making them more susceptible to rapid progression of disease.
What may start as peri-implant mucositis can quickly advance to peri-implantitis, leading to bone loss and potential implant failure if left untreated.
Early detection, routine monitoring, and proper maintenance are key to protecting the longevity of your implant. ⚙️
Healthy implants require just as much care as natural teeth ✨
