It is caused by bacteria in plaque, which forms when you eat food. Plaque is harmless if you remove it from your teeth regularly. But if it&#8217;s not removed, the plaque can turn into a sticky substance called tartar, which forms underneath your gum line.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/292969562-900x644.jpg\" alt=\"periodontal disease or periodontitis\" class=\"wp-image-23652\" style=\"width:472px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gum disease can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth. If it&#8217;s not treated, it can result in tooth loss, which is why it is important to treat it as soon as possible. Gum disease can also increase your risk for other health problems, such as heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-implants-and-periodontitis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Implants in Periodontitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Periodontitis is a disease that affects your gums, which support your teeth and help you bite and chew. When these gums are infected, they become swollen and usually begin to pull away from your<a href=\"https:\/\/sapteeth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> teeth<\/a>, creating pockets of space (called recession) between your gums and teeth. Bacteria and other debris can then build up inside these pockets. And, if the bacteria penetrate the bone and travel up to the nerves, they can cause pain and damage to nearby teeth, as well as other nearby tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"608\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/25.jpg\" alt=\"dental implants in one day\" class=\"wp-image-15421\" style=\"width:304px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Immediate Load Implant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-when-you-can-t-have-implants-with-periodontitis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When you can\u2019t have Periodontitis Implants?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your gum <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/how-to-prevent-gum-diseases-or-gingivitis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disease is at a severe level<\/a>, then it may be too risky to have dental implants, especially if you are in the early stages of having periodontitis. You should have your gum disease under control before you have the procedure done.

The procedure for implants is more complicated than traditional denture replacement and will require some minor surgery. In addition, it will take a long time for your implants to heal, during which you will need to be careful with your mouth. For example, during the healing process you will want to avoid: &#8211; aggressive brushing or flossing that can further irritate your gums &#8211; eating hard foods &#8211; foods that stain your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How Painful is the Dental Implant Procedure? | Dr Chirag Chamria | Best Dentist in Kandivali\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ciD8EP4LN-U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a history of periodontitis does not automatically prevent someone from receiving dental implants. With proper periodontal treatment, infection control, and ongoing maintenance, many patients can successfully restore missing teeth with implants. Careful planning and long-term oral hygiene are essential for maintaining healthy gums, supporting bone, and lasting implant success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+919820012621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book Your Consultation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have missing teeth and a history of gum disease, the team at <strong>Royal Dental Clinics<\/strong> can help determine whether dental implants are right for you.
