Frequently asked questions

Questions before your visit.

Are bleeding gums normal?

No. Bleeding can indicate inflammation and deserves an assessment, especially if it recurs.

Can periodontal disease affect implants?

A history of periodontal disease also calls for attention around implants. Hygiene and check-ups are essential parts of prevention.

How often are follow-up visits needed?

The frequency depends on individual risk and is determined after the clinical assessment.
