Zygomatic Implants

The key difference lies between the placement of implants. Traditional Implants require a certain amount of healthy bones for successful integration. However, zygomatic dental implants utilize the dense zygomatic bone, which is often unaffected by bone loss in the upper jaw. This innovative approach expands the possibilities for individuals who were previously deemed ineligible for dental implants due to bone loss issues.

Zygomatic implants are particularly beneficial for patients who:

1. Have Severe Bone Loss: If you’ve experienced extensive bone loss in your upper jaw, zygomatic implants offer a viable solution without the need for bone grafts.
2. Suffer from Sinus Problems: Traditional implants in the upper jaw can sometimes interfere with the sinuses. Zygomatic implants, anchored in the cheekbone, avoid this issue.
3. Seek a Faster Solution: Zygomatic implants can often be placed in a single surgical procedure, reducing treatment time compared to bone grafting and traditional implant approaches.

Our experienced team at Kelowna Implant Clinic will assess your dental health and bone structure to determine if zygomatic implants are the right choice for you.

The zygomatic implant procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Initial Consultation: We’ll conduct a comprehensive examination, including digital imaging, to assess your oral health and bone structure.
2. Treatment Planning: Based on the evaluation, our team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
3. Implant Placement: During the surgical procedure, zygomatic implants are strategically placed in the zygomatic bone to ensure optimal stability and support.
4. Healing and Integration: Over the following weeks, the implants will fuse with the surrounding bone, creating a strong foundation for your permanent prosthetic teeth.
5. Prosthetic Attachment: Once the implants have integrated successfully, custom prosthetic teeth or a denture will be attached, restoring your smile and function.

Throughout the process, our team prioritizes your comfort and well-being, utilizing advanced techniques and sedation options to ensure a positive experience.

The cost of zygomatic implants can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, additional procedures such as extractions or bone grafts, and the type of prosthetic restoration chosen. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of the anticipated costs and work with you to explore financing options and insurance coverage.

After undergoing zygomatic dental implant surgery, proper post-operative maintenance plays a crucial role in ensuring the long-term success and health of your new smile. During the initial healing phase, which typically lasts a few weeks, it’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions diligently. This may include adopting a soft diet to avoid putting excessive pressure on the implants, practicing good oral hygiene with gentle brushing and rinsing, and avoiding activities that could disrupt the healing process, such as smoking or heavy physical exertion.

As your implants integrate with your bone and the healing progresses, regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as needed. Your dental team will provide personalized guidance on how to care for your zygomatic implants effectively, ensuring that your beautiful smile remains healthy, functional, and radiant for years to come.
