Peri-Implantitis Treatment in Ashburn
Ashburn is one of Virginia's fastest-growing communities in eastern Loudoun County, home to One Loudoun and top-rated schools, and when it comes to peri-implantitis treatment, the community trusts the team of periodontists at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Reston. Peri-implantitis treatment addresses the bacterial infection and progressive bone loss around dental implants that can lead to implant loosening and failure if left untreated.
Many of our peri-implantitis treatment patients travel from Ashburn — a drive of only about 20 minutes — because they value the combination of periodontal expertise and personalized attention we provide. Just as natural teeth can develop gum disease, dental implants can develop peri-implantitis. Early detection and treatment by a periodontist is essential to saving the implant and preventing further bone destruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Peri-Implantitis FAQ for Ashburn Patients
How common is peri-implantitis?
Studies estimate that peri-implant mucositis (early inflammation) affects 30 to 50 percent of implant patients, while peri-implantitis (with bone loss) affects 10 to 20 percent. Patients with a history of periodontal disease, smokers, and those who skip maintenance visits are at significantly higher risk.
Can peri-implantitis cause implant failure?
Yes — untreated peri-implantitis progressively destroys the bone supporting the implant, eventually leading to implant loosening and loss. Unlike natural teeth, implants lack a periodontal ligament that provides early warning signs through mobility. By the time an implant feels loose, significant bone loss has already occurred.
How is peri-implantitis treated?
Treatment depends on severity. Mild cases may respond to professional debridement and antimicrobial therapy. Moderate to advanced cases may require surgical access for implant surface decontamination (using lasers, air abrasives, or chemical agents) combined with bone grafting. The LAPIP protocol is a minimally invasive laser option for peri-implantitis treatment.
How can I prevent peri-implantitis?
Prevention centers on meticulous daily cleaning around implants with a soft brush, interdental brushes, and water flossers; regular periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months; not smoking; and managing systemic conditions like diabetes. Patients with a history of gum disease need especially vigilant monitoring.
