Surgical Dentistry Treatments
As a specialist surgical dentist in Adelaide, Dr Pellew offers a comprehensive range of treatments including:
Peri-implantitis
Peri-implantitis refers to inflammation and infection affecting the tissues around a dental implant, which can lead to gradual bone loss if left untreated.
While dental implants have a very high long-term success rate, a small percentage — estimated at around 7% — may experience some level of bone loss over time.
In many cases, peri-implantitis can be effectively managed with early intervention.
Treatment often involves a minor surgical curettage procedure, where the area around the implant is carefully cleaned, infected tissue is removed, and the surface of the implant is decontaminated to support healthy healing.
With timely care, this procedure can help stabilise the implant and prevent further bone loss.
