PROSTHETIC JOINT REPLACEMENTS


Frequently medical insurance companies require an orthopedic surgeon to refer a patient preoperatively to a periodontist/dentist for evaluation and treatment of dental inflammation/infection before they will pay the orthopedic surgeon to perform the joint replacement surgery. Medical insurance companies are aware that there are better surgical outcomes with fewer expensive complications if the joint replacement surgery is performed in an environment free of periodontal inflammation/infection.
At P3 Dental Technologies we have effective methods to prevent periodontal bacteria from infecting prosthetic joints and producing better surgical outcomes.
