Hello. This is S-Plant Dental Hospital.
Implants are a surgical procedure with an excellent expected lifespan, enough to be used semi-permanently, but problems sometimes occur due to poor management after successful implant placement. Unlike natural teeth, artificial prosthetics used for implants do not get cavities, but periodontal disease can develop.
Among implant complications, the number one issue is peri-implantitis. It refers to inflammation of the gum around the area where the implant surgery was performed, and if it is not treated in time, the area of gum inflammation expands and the jawbone gradually begins to dissolve from the inflammation. Over time, the implant that was placed with great effort can no longer function properly, and implant removal or reoperation may become necessary.
Today, S-Plant Dental Hospital will explain in detail the causes and prevention methods of peri-implantitis.
Causes and symptoms of peri-implantitis

Peri-implantitis is a disease that occurs in the gumbone around the implant post. When symptoms such as gum pain, swelling, and odor persist for a long time, the surrounding gumbone may dissolve, causing the implant to loosen or fall out. Peri-implantitis is also caused by tartar, bacteria, and other factors. However, unlike natural teeth, implants do not have nerves, so it is not easy to notice even if inflammation worsens.
To prevent peri-implantitis like the above, careful management is necessary even after implant surgery is completed.
How to prevent peri-implantitis

Implants need to be checked periodically in various areas. Regular dental visits are necessary for diagnosis and evaluation by medical staff. Although implants can be used semi-permanently, if they are not properly managed, they may loosen or develop inflammation after only a short period of use. Therefore, healthy oral care should be maintained through regular dental checkups and scaling every 3 to 6 months.
To prevent peri-implantitis, thorough hygiene management is fundamentally important. After implant placement, hygiene care should be maintained to suppress bacterial growth and preserve a healthy oral environment. After eating or at least three times a day, proper brushing and oral care are essential. It is also recommended to use auxiliary oral care products such as interdental brushes and dental floss.
Smoking and drinking slow gum recovery and reduce bone density, interfering with the fusion of the implant and bone. They also cause inflammation in the wound area, which can prevent the implant from being properly fixed and may cause it to loosen. Alcohol causes dry mouth and promotes bacterial growth in the mouth. Therefore, to prevent peri-implantitis and maintain a healthy oral environment, it is advisable to avoid drinking and smoking.

At S-Plant Dental Hospital, all prosthodontic medical staff are dental PhDs from Seoul National University. We provide one-on-one customized treatment and responsible care from the attending doctor, and carry out treatment based on detailed and accurate treatment plans. In addition, after sufficient consultation with the patient, we carefully consider the patient’s condition, oral state, and other factors to provide safe and prompt care.
The stability of a dental hospital is one of the most important factors for patients. Our hospital has proven its safety through 16 years of accident-free operation. In particular, a management system led by six chief doctors with dental PhDs from Seoul National University has enhanced both perfect treatment and expertise. In addition, by having a dedicated implant surgery room, we provide an environment where patients can feel at ease and focus only on the surgery.
S-Plant Dental Hospital uses the extensive experience and know-how of its six chief doctors to achieve stable treatment results. Through regular checkups, we reduce potential problems that may occur after surgery and help patients use their implants for a long time through follow-up care.
At S-Plant Dental Hospital, we use only implant materials whose safety has been proven worldwide. We use only genuine, certified implants from both Korea and overseas, including Osstem, Dentium, MegaGen, and Straumann.
If non-genuine products are actually used during implant surgery and forced into place, stability and durability cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should carefully check whether genuine implant materials are being used before and after surgery before proceeding with the implant.

For stable implant placement, S-Plant Dental Hospital uses a digital guide implant method, which involves confirming the position of the implant and prosthetic in advance before surgery to select the appropriate angle, depth, and location through a simulated operation. Using an implant guide minimizes the incision area and has the advantages of faster recovery and a lower risk of bleeding and inflammation.
