Is Destructive Peri-Implantitis Threatening Your Dental Implant?
Dental implants are an important investment in your health and quality of life after tooth loss. If peri-implantitis is threatening your implant, receiving prompt, effective treatment is crucial to encouraging long-term implant success.

At Flagstaff Laser Dentistry, Dr. Robert Janisse provides expert laser care for peri-implantitis. Our minimally invasive service incorporates the BIOLASE® IPlus laser and REPaiR™ protocol for restoring periodontal health.
