When plaque or inflammation affects tissues around an implant, careful cleaning can restore comfort and protect long-term results. Our dentist and team focus on education, gentle technique and steady follow-up. Dr. Michael Collier designs clear plans that fit your goals and help you feel confident at every step.

Your visit begins with a thorough exam and a simple conversation about your health history and daily habits. We review images in plain language and outline a step-by-step plan that supports predictable healing. You receive pre-visit tips and written aftercare so you know what to expect. Our office uses modern imaging and precise measurements to track changes over time.
