If another implant practice has told you that you aren’t a candidate for conventional dental implants, the team at Smile Savers Dental Solutions can help. Our highly skilled implant dentists have extensive experience with implants and will determine if zygomatic dental implants are a suitable option for you, based on your oral health and anatomy.
While conventional dental implants are placed vertically in your upper jawbone (maxilla), zygomatic al implants are anchored in your cheekbone (zygomatic bone), which isn’t prone to bone loss. Like all full-mouth dental implants, zygomatic implants consist of the titanium implant posts, connecting abutments, and the restorative prosthesis.
If you have significant upper jawbone loss and aren’t a candidate for traditional dental implants, a zygomatic implant may be the answer. A comprehensive evaluation by one of our implant dentists is required to determine suitability. During your free consultation at Smile Savers Dental Solutions, we’ll perform an oral exam, take digital X-rays, and a 3D scan to analyze the following factors and determine if you qualify.
During your free consultation, one of our implant dentists will evaluate your full history and perform a physical examination to ensure you’re an appropriate candidate for this procedure.
During your preoperative evaluation, our cone-beam computed tomography scanner is used to assess the distance from your alveolar ridge to the zygoma body, as well as the quality and quantity of your zygomatic bone. Based on your evaluation, we’ll create a customized treatment plan that includes the length and placement of the zygomatic implants, as well as the design of your restorative prosthesis.
Dental implant surgery is typically done under sedation to ensure your comfort. A small incision is made in your gum tissue, and then specialized instruments are used to prepare your zygomatic bone for the dental implants.
The extra-long implants are carefully angled and placed near your bicuspid teeth (fourth and fifth teeth from the center of the mouth to the back of your mouth). Additionally, regular dental implants are strategically placed in your jawbone following the All-on-four to six full-arch implant protocol.
In many cases, patients can leave our practice the same day as surgery with a new set of functional, aesthetically pleasing teeth. Follow-up appointments are crucial to ensure your dental implants are integrating properly, with no signs of inflammation around your implant sites.
Whether you received traditional or zygomatic implants, regular check-ups and implant maintenance are essential for prolonging the life of your implants and delivering optimal oral health.
After your zygomatic and regular dental implants have fully fused with your underlying bone in a process called osseointegration, it’s time to swap out your temporary resin teeth for a beautiful, natural-looking prosthesis.
Your permanent teeth are artfully fabricated from zirconia by a skilled lab technician to perfectly fit your mouth and complement your facial aesthetics.
