Gum disease is a common concern for patients considering implants. At Regent Dental in Ilkley, Dr Nadeem helps you understand your options and what’s needed for successful treatment.
What’s the Risk?
Gum disease (periodontitis) affects the bone and tissue that support your teeth and implants
Active gum disease increases the risk of implant failure
Can You Still Have Implants?
If gum disease is well controlled and your mouth is healthy, implants may be possible
Treatment for gum disease must come first—this may include deep cleaning, improved home care, or specialist referral
In some cases, bone grafting may be needed if bone loss has occurred
The Regent Dental Approach

Personalised treatment plan to address any issues before implant placement
