Tooth loss is a common dental issue due to severe damage and decay which can be replaced by dental implants. However, not all patients are a good candidate for dental implants since some might not have strong and enough bone to support an Implant. Here at Comfort Dental Care & Orthodontics, we offer Zygomatic Dental implant service to replace missing tooth of patients who have weak and insufficient bone structure.

What is a Zygomatic Dental Implant?

There are several types of implants used in replacing a missing tooth. With technology, a variety of implant is developed called Zygomatic Dental Implant; it is an advanced form of dental implant used in the upper jaw when the jaw eroded after the tooth removal. This implant supports the upper implant bridgework. Zygomatic implants are longer compared to traditional implant providing a secure and stable position in the bone.

How Does Zygomatic Dental Implant Work?

With the use of a zygomatic dental implant, it is placed directly to the upper jawbone (zygomatic arch) which is a dense facial bone that can provide stable support to implants. The artificial tooth is then attached to three days following the procedure. Four months is the approximate time frame for the healing process after the procedure which at this time, the restorative process can be done to finish the treatment.

Advantages of Zygomatic Dental Implant

  • The implant process can be completed in just one dental visit
  • The zygomatic implant does not require bone grafting
  • Balanced support and immediate function
  • Stable and durable implant
  • Zygomatic implants are long making it easier to fuse in the zygomatic arch (cheekbone)

Who is the Candidate for Zygomatic Implant?

Patients who do not have enough bone structure for traditional implants are a good candidate for Zygomatic Implant. However, it is still advised to visit the dentist to undergo a consultation and evaluation of the mouth and bone structure to determine if the procedure is the best choice for them.

Zygomatic Dental Implants is an ideal alternative process for traditional implants since it does not require augmentation and grafting which contributes to a comfortable and shorter treatment.
