Protecting Your Investment and Preventing Peri-Implant Disease for a Lifetime of Success
While dental implants cannot develop dental cavities, the gum and bone supporting them are living biological tissues susceptible to bacterial infection. When bacteria and biofilm accumulate around implant collars, it triggers peri-implant mucositis (surface inflammation) and, if left unchecked, peri-implantitis (progressive bone loss that causes implant failure).
At Main Line Dental Arts, our periodontal specialists and certified dental hygienists provide specialized implant maintenance protocols. Standard dental cleanings using metal curettes can scratch delicate titanium and zirconia surfaces, creating micro-grooves that attract even more bacteria.
We use non-abrasive titanium-safe carbon-fiber and ultrasonic instruments, gentle air-polishing with glycine powder, and antimicrobial decontamination to preserve your implants for life.
You may benefit from this treatment if you experience any of the following:
We gently measure peri-implant pocket depths with specialized plastic probes and take low-dose digital radiographs to verify bone levels around the implant threads.
Biofilm and calcified calculus are carefully debrided using specialized non-abrasive instruments that will not scratch or alter the implant abutment.
A micro-spray of biocompatible glycine powder eliminates microscopic bacterial biofilms deep within pockets without damaging fragile mucosal seals.
If localized inflammation is detected, laser decontamination is performed to sterilize the pocket. We calibrate your home care routine with customized interdental brushes and water flosser tips.
Stops silent, symptom-free bone loss before it jeopardizes implant stability.
Specialized non-metallic instrumentation preserves ultra-smooth implant surfaces.
Ensures your implants last decades or a lifetime without costly complications.
Evaluated by board-certified periodontists who can identify and treat issues early.
Practical instructions to ensure an anxiety-free visit and smooth, rapid healing.
What to expect from your initial specialist consultation through complete recovery.
High-resolution 3D CBCT scan to map bone density, nerve paths, and simulate virtual implant placement.
Atraumatic surgical fixture placement with gentle local anesthesia and optional relaxation sedation.
Biological fusion where bone cells integrate directly onto titanium surface over 8 to 12 weeks.
Custom zirconia or porcelain crown/bridge delivery, co-managed with your restorative dentist.
Periodontists undergo 3 additional years of accredited university surgical residency beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on jawbone biology, tissue regeneration, and micro-precision implant placement. We partner closely with your family dentist to deliver lasting clinical excellence.
Our board-certified periodontists, Dr. Borguet, Dr. Hodgson, and Dr. Susanin, are here to help restore your oral health with compassionate, personalized care.
