Periimplantitis Treatment
Periimplantitis is an inflammation of the tissues around a dental implant that without treatment leads to bone loss and implant loosening. At Esthesion Prague, we diagnose periimplantitis early and perform effective treatment — from mechanical implant cleaning to surgical methods including bone augmentation.

What Is Periimplantitis
Periimplantitis is an infectious disease of the tissues around a dental implant — affecting both soft gum tissues and hard bone tissue. Without timely treatment, it leads to progressive bone loss, compromised implant stability and eventually its loss. Our clinic in Prague offers specialized treatment focused on saving your dental implant.
Symptoms of Periimplantitis
Redness, swelling and bleeding around the implant
Pus or unpleasant breath odor
Mobility or pain of the dental implant
Bone loss visible on X-ray
Exposed implant neck
Clinical deterioration of tissue around the implant
How Periimplantitis Treatment Works Step by Step
1) Diagnostics and analysis
Clinical examination, probing, CBCT scan and analysis of tissue condition around the implant.
2) Treatment
Gentle mechanical and chemical removal of bacterial plaque from the implant surface, antimicrobial treatment — all under local anesthesia and completely painless.
3) Surgical treatment
In advanced cases, open decontamination, bone tissue regeneration using augmentation and bone graft material.
4) Healing and regeneration
We monitor tissue healing and oversee bone restoration around the implant over several months.
5) Maintenance care
Regular check-ups, professional dental hygiene and patient education in home oral hygiene for long-term prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periimplantitis Treatment
Treatment is completely painless. The surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia, or sedation if the patient prefers. Post-procedure tissue healing is usually smooth and the patient quickly returns to normal life.
The length of treatment depends individually on the degree and severity of inflammation and the extent of bone loss around the implant. In simpler cases, one mechanical treatment may suffice, while more advanced conditions require surgical treatment. Healing typically takes approximately 2 to 6 months.
Augmentation is surgical regeneration of bone tissue using bone material (e.g., bone graft). It helps restore missing jawbone around the implant, improve its stability and prevent dental implant loss.
Yes, if the inflammation of tissues around the implant is diagnosed early. The sooner treatment begins, the higher the chance of saving the implant. In more advanced cases, we combine mechanical implant cleaning with surgical treatment and bone tissue augmentation.
Key risk factors include smoking, poor oral hygiene, incorrect implant placement, poor bone quality, untreated periodontitis and errors in implant planning. Smoking significantly increases the risk of complications and negatively affects healing.
Consistent home oral hygiene, interdental cleaning and regular check-ups with a dentist and dental hygienist are key. Our clinic provides prevention, implant cleaning and patient education for long-term dental implant health.
