Zygomatic Implants – A Solution for Upper Jaw Bone Loss in Jacksonville, FL

Losing a single tooth can affect not only the appearance of your smile but also your overall dental health. At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we offer single-tooth dental implants as a secure, natural-looking solution for patients who are missing one tooth. With a custom-designed implant, we can help restore your smile’s appearance, function, and strength.

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are a specialized type of dental implant anchored in the zygomatic bone, or cheekbone, instead of the upper jawbone. This technique is ideal for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, providing a stable and durable foundation for implant-supported restorations. The zygomatic bone offers strong support, making it possible to achieve a secure fit without the need for bone grafting.

Benefits of Zygomatic Implants

  • Suitable for Patients with Upper Jaw Bone Loss: Zygomatic implants bypass the need for bone grafting by anchoring directly to the cheekbone. This approach makes them an excellent option for patients with significant upper jaw bone loss who may not qualify for traditional implants.
  • Shorter Treatment Time: Since zygomatic implants do not require bone grafting, the overall treatment time is often reduced. Patients can receive a stable implant foundation sooner, leading to quicker final restorations and a faster path to their new smile.
  • Stable, Long-Lasting Support: The zygomatic bone provides a strong, stable foundation for implant-supported bridges, allowing for secure, full-arch restorations. This stability improves functionality, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
  • Natural Appearance and Feel: Like traditional implants, zygomatic implants are designed to support a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your facial structure. The result is a beautiful, functional smile that feels like your own.

The Zygomatic Implant Process at Natural Teeth Implant Center

Our team at Natural Teeth Implant Center is dedicated to providing a comfortable and efficient experience throughout your zygomatic implant journey. Here’s what to expect during the process:

  • Comprehensive Consultation and Assessment: The process begins with a thorough consultation where our specialists evaluate your bone structure using CBCT imaging. This imaging provides a 3D view of your jaw and cheekbones, allowing us to design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique anatomy.
  • Customized Treatment Planning: Based on your assessment, we’ll develop a customized plan for your zygomatic implant procedure. This plan includes the placement of the implants, sedation options, and a timeline to give you a clear understanding of each step.
  • Surgical Placement of Zygomatic Implants: During the procedure, Dr. Lee and Dr. Tawil use advanced surgical techniques to place the implants in the zygomatic bone. We offer sedation options, including oral, IV sedation, and general anesthesia, to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
  • Healing and Final Restoration: After the implants are placed, a healing period allows the implants to stabilize. Once healed, we’ll attach your custom-designed bridge or crown, restoring full function and appearance to your smile.

Who Is a Candidate for Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are ideal for patients who:

  • Have severe bone loss in the upper jaw
  • Do not qualify for traditional implants due to low bone density
  • Prefer to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures
  • Are seeking a permanent, stable solution for full-arch restoration

 

During your consultation, our team will assess your specific needs and determine if zygomatic implants are the right option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are zygomatic implants different from traditional implants?

Zygomatic implants are longer and anchored in the cheekbone, rather than the jawbone, allowing them to bypass areas of bone loss in the upper jaw. This provides a stable foundation without the need for bone grafting.

We prioritize patient comfort and offer multiple sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and we provide thorough post-care instructions to support a smooth recovery.

The recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can expect a healing period of several months for the implants to fully integrate before the final restoration is placed.

Yes, zygomatic implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution. With proper care, they can provide a stable foundation for many years.
