Receding gum around implant
Dear Dr.
I have an implant supported bridge at the lower front. I have had them for about 9 years now but 2 years back I had a decay in the neighboring tooth and had to be removed eventually extending the bridge. Currently I'm afraid the gums around this bridge are receding and might cause infection of more teeth around the implant. Are there any gum regeneration therapy or any treatment to fill the gap under and around the implant to insure it does not lead to plaque deposit? Can this treatment be availed in Mumbai at the earliest possible?
