Zygomatic Dental Implants

Dental implants are considered the optimal choice for tooth restorations, but individuals with jawbone loss may not be suitable candidates for traditional dental implants. Jawbone loss can occur due to various factors, including tooth loss, which can affect the success of implant procedures. At Zahn Implant Club, we provide a range of dental implant solutions to cater to our patients’ diverse needs. Our experienced dental implant specialists offer zygomatic dental implants, a specialized option for individuals with jawbone loss, at our dental center in Elk Grove, CA.

In cases where patients have extensive jawbone loss and desire dental implants, bone grafting is often required before zygomatic implant surgery. This additional procedure not only involves another oral surgery but also prolongs the overall tooth restoration timeline. Zygomatic dental implants eliminate the need for bone grafting since they do not rely on the jawbone for support, making them an advanced alternative in tooth restoration, including same day implants.

What exactly are Zygomatic Dental Implants? Zygoma refers to the cheekbone, which is known for its dense structure. Unlike traditional dental implants that are inserted into the upper jawbone, zygomatic implants are placed into the cheekbone. These implants are specially designed for use with the zygoma, featuring longer posts to reach the cheekbone and a tilted placement to ensure secure implant anchorage. Zygomatic dental implants fuse with both the zygoma and the jawbone, providing a stable and secure foundation for tooth restoration. For individuals who have been told that they lack sufficient bone density in their upper jaw for standard dental implants without bone grafting, zygomatic dental implants offer an excellent solution.

Given their advanced nature, the placement of zygomatic dental implants requires the expertise of dental implant specialists. Not all dentists or oral surgeons offer this specialized option in dental restorations.
