LAPIP® Treatment in northern Virginia and Washington, DC
Save Your Smile With a Modern Solution for Failing Dental Implants
Dental implants have a high success rate, but infection, inflammation, or bone loss can occasionally threaten an implant.
Dr. Habib uses the LAPIP laser protocol to treat peri-implantitis, protect healthy tissue, and improve the possibility of retaining a compromised implant.
Advanced Laser Therapy for Peri-Implantitis
Safeguarding Your Dental Implants
LAPIP is a minimally invasive, laser-based alternative to traditional flap surgery around an implant.
Precise laser energy removes bacteria and diseased tissue without damaging the implant surface or unnecessarily disturbing healthy gums and bone.
- Targets peri-implantitis bacteria.
- Preserves healthy supporting tissue.
- Encourages tissue reattachment and bone healing.
- Reduces bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.
