Implant Saliva Test

Implant failure is most often driven by underlying bacterial infection—even when no symptoms are present. This test is designed to detect and address the microbial drivers of peri-implantitis before complications arise. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Smarter implant care starts with saliva.

Nearly half of all dental implants show signs of inflammation—often without visible symptoms—so uncovering hidden pathogenic activity early can be critical. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

SimplyTest Implant screens for eight key bacterial pathogens associated with peri-implantitis, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa), an aggressive and often overlooked bacterium that can amplify inflammation in biofilms and increase the risk of implant failure. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

When to test

Use the Implant test to support proactive screening and monitoring—especially when risk factors or early signs appear. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

  • An implant shows early signs of inflammation. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
  • A patient has bleeding or discomfort around a restoration. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
  • There’s a history of periodontal disease. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
  • Monitoring healing post-graft or debridement. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
  • High-risk patient (smoker, diabetic, poor oral hygiene). :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
  • Confirm readiness before restoring; maintenance visits. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
