Zygomatic Dental Implants: New Teeth For Severe Jawbone Loss
At Jolie Smiles in Odessa, FL, we understand the importance of a radiant smile. Zygomatic dental implants offer a revolutionary solution, especially for those who've experienced severe jawbone loss. With the expertise of Dr. Truong, residents of Pasco County and surrounding areas like New Port Richey, Trinity, Land O' Lakes, Palm Harbor, and Lutz, FL can now benefit from this advanced dental procedure. But what makes zygomatic implants so special? Let's delve into the details.
What is a Zygomatic Implant?
A zygomatic implant is a type of dental implant specifically designed for those with insufficient jawbone. Unlike traditional implants, which anchor into the jawbone, zygomatic implants anchor into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). This makes them an ideal solution for patients with significant bone loss who might not be candidates for conventional dental implants.
Can you have dental implants with severe bone loss?
Absolutely! Traditional dental implants require a certain amount of jawbone for successful placement. However, for those with severe jawbone loss, zygomatic implants are a game-changer. They bypass the need for bone grafts and provide a sturdy foundation even in cases of extreme bone deficiency.
Are Zygomatic Implants Safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced dentist like Dr. Truong, zygomatic implant surgery is safe. At Jolie Smiles, we prioritize patient safety and ensure that every procedure, from crowns to dentures and implants, meets the highest standards of care.
How long do zygomatic implants last?
Zygomatic implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Just like traditional dental implants, their longevity is influenced by factors like oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding detrimental habits like smoking.
Are zygomatic implants more expensive?
While zygomatic implants might have a higher initial cost compared to traditional implants, they often eliminate the need for additional procedures like bone grafting. This can make them more cost-effective in the long run, especially for those with dental implants with bone loss.
Are zygomatic implants painful?
Any surgical procedure can come with some discomfort. However, at Jolie Smiles, we prioritize patient comfort. With modern anesthesia and Dr. Truong's skilled hands, most patients find the procedure and recovery to be more comfortable than they anticipated.
