Understanding Zygomatic Dental Implants
Unlike conventional dental implants, which are secured in the jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are surgically placed in the zygomatic (cheek) bones. With support coming from a strong, stable facial bone, these dental implants do not require alterations of the jawbone, such as bone grafting, to support a bridge of fixed teeth. Zygomatic implants are one of the most complex surgeries in implant dentistry and only few dentists are trained in this procedure. Our dentists place zygomatic dental implants in Richmond, VA on a routine basis and have years of experience and clinical results to back their treatments. By providing zygomatic implants, our dentists can offer you the following benefits:
- Fewer surgeries required
- Secure, life-like bridge of teeth
- Reliable, long-term function
- Immediate teeth, in most cases
What to Expect from Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic dental implants may sound more invasive than conventional treatments, but they can be placed in one surgical procedure without any additional bone grafting while you are under anesthesia. Our dentist will use 3D cone-beam CT scans to digitally plan your treatment before you arrive. During your procedure, your implants will be placed in strategic positions in your bone to ensure maximum stability. This procedure may also involve placing conventional dental implants where the bone in your jaw is most dense. Because no bone grafting is necessary for this treatment, we can often complete your treatment process faster and provide you with a functional, beautiful new smile more quickly than with conventional treatment.
