Check Your Symptoms for Dental Implants

When it comes to dental implants, longevity is key. By working with a skilled and experienced dentist, you can rest assured that your implants will be properly cared for and maintained, giving you the peace of mind that they will last for many years to come. The foundation of this enduring success lies in vigilant periodontal care—recognising the telltale signs of peri-implant diseases. These indicators serve as invaluable cues, prompting you to adopt proactive measures in safeguarding the unwavering strength and endurance of your implants. Notably, two significant adversaries in this context are peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Understanding these conditions empowers you to preserve the health of your implants.

Understanding Peri-Implant Conditions

Peri-Implant Mucositis

Bone Loss: Radiographic assessments, like X-rays, can unveil any bone loss adjacent to the implant, signalling a more advanced stage of the condition.
Gum Recession: Gradual gum recession can lead to the exposure of implant surfaces, affecting both aesthetics and functionality.
Exudate or Pus: The presence of fluid discharge or pus at the implant site is a pronounced indicator of potential peri-implantitis.
Implant Mobility: In severe cases, tissue and bone loss can result in implant mobility or loosening, demanding immediate attention.

  Dr. Liu is an expert periodontist. My gums were in terrible condition and I was told by numerous other professionals that they were unrecoverable. After treatment with Dr. Liu for 1 year my gums are in great condition. Looking at photos of my gums from 1 year ago to now, I am in shock. I highly recommend Dr. Liu for anyone with gingivitis or gum disease. This can't obviously be cured but you can stay on top of it so it doesn't get any worse. Big thank you to the Gum & Dental Implant Centre!!

  I have been seeing Dr Leo for at least 18 months. I had a very bad gum infection, lost three teeth and needed a grafted bone implant before I could go ahead with porcelain teeth implants to replace the three teeth I lost. My experience with Dr Leo was that I felt safe and confident in his care. He is very professional as well as caring. Dr Leo’s facility is spotlessly clean and he is thorough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and trust his judgement and advice completely.

  I was referred to Dr Leo Liu for my implant.
No need to be nervous because Dr Leo is a real gentleman.  He is kind and caring and incredibly professional in his work. He carefully explains each step of the procedures.  Infection control is spot on.
The implant went well without the slightest pain.  Dr Leo’s offsider, and receptionist Kelvin, is also very very caring and knowledgeable in every step of the treatment.  Dr Leo’s chairside assistants helped me to feel relaxed.

Th Wollongong community is blessed in having Dr Leo and his team practice here.
I would not go anywhere else for gum and implant treatments.100% recommend without hesitation.

  I was referred to Dr Leo after 3 dental professionals had somehow missed out on diagnosing my gum problems.  He was excellent.  Calm, professional, experienced and very good at his job. He immediately found out the problem and worked out a treatment plan and home care strategies. Together they worked and my gum problems have greatly improved. I am very impressed and very grateful. Dr Leo knows his stuff and on the basis of my very positive experience, I highly recommend him.

He has very good staff and a happy clinic which is a pleasure to visit
