The Impact of Periodontal Disease on Full-Mouth Dental Implant Surgery
By removing all infected bone, soft tissue, and teeth where harmful bacteria reside, the procedure creates a fresh, disease-free foundation for the implants.

The Impact of Periodontal Disease on Full-Mouth Dental Implant Surgery
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a significant concern for many individuals considering full-mouth dental implants. This condition, caused by harmful bacteria that destroy the connection between the teeth, gums, and supporting bone, often leaves patients worried about the long-term success of implants. At 21D, we address these concerns through a comprehensive and innovative approach known as a "surgical reset."
Addressing Periodontal Disease During Surgery
As Dr. Isabela explains, the majority of our patients suffer from periodontal disease. Other dental providers may have told them that their condition increases the likelihood of implant failure due to continued bone loss around the implants. However, at 21D, we approach this challenge differently.
Periodontal disease is primarily caused by bacteria living in the pockets around teeth, which destroy the bond between the gums, teeth, and supporting bone. When the teeth are removed during implant surgery, the bacteria lose their foothold. At 21D, we take this process further by meticulously cleaning all infection from the sockets and surrounding tissue. This mechanical cleansing eliminates the bacteria and sets the stage for implant placement in healthy, pristine bone.
The "Surgical Reset"
The term "surgical reset" perfectly describes this process. By removing all infected bone, soft tissue, and teeth where harmful bacteria reside, the procedure creates a fresh, disease-free foundation for the implants. This reset ensures that the implants are placed in a healthy environment, promoting long-term success.
Post-surgery, the key to maintaining this pristine state lies in proper oral hygiene and regular maintenance. Patients are advised to attend annual check-ups where clinicians assess the health of the implants and surrounding tissue using X-rays and intraoral examinations. This ongoing care, combined with patient adherence to a recommended hygiene routine, ensures that the risk of future gum disease or bone shrinkage is minimised.
Long-Term Success
Patients who follow these guidelines experience stable bone levels and healthy gums, with no recurrence of gum disease. The comprehensive cleaning during the surgical reset and the continued care provided by 21D ensure that full-mouth dental implants remain a viable and lasting solution for those with a history of periodontal disease.
By resetting the oral environment and providing ongoing support, 21D offers patients a path to renewed oral health and confidence, even for those who once believed that their periodontal condition ruled out the possibility of implants. It’s not just about replacing teeth; it’s about restoring a healthy foundation for a lifetime of smiles.
