Permanent Teeth

Zygomatic implants are a specialized type of dental implant designed for patients who have significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional implants that are placed in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which offers a more stable foundation for replacement teeth. This technique allows us to bypass the need for bone grafting in cases of severe bone loss.

1. Initial Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey to a restored smile begins with a thorough consultation at Fremont Implant Clinic. We’ll assess your oral health, review your medical history, and use advanced imaging to evaluate the condition of your jawbone and zygomatic bone.

2. Implant Placement: During the procedure, zygomatic implants are carefully placed into the zygomatic bone through a minimally invasive approach. This placement offers immediate stability and allows for the attachment of replacement teeth or a prosthetic within a short timeframe.

3. Restoration and Prosthetic Attachment: Once the implants are securely placed, we will attach a custom-made prosthetic that fits seamlessly into your mouth. This prosthetic will be designed to match the appearance and function of your natural teeth, providing a complete and functional smile.

1. Immediate Results: Zygomatic implants often allow for immediate placement of a prosthetic, providing you with a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional implants.

2. No Need for Bone Grafting: One of the key advantages of zygomatic implants is that they eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures. This is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant bone loss and do not want to undergo additional surgeries.

3. Enhanced Stability and Function: Zygomatic implants are anchored into the dense zygomatic bone, offering superior stability and support for prosthetic teeth. This stability ensures that your new teeth function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

4. Minimally Invasive Procedure: The zygomatic implant procedure is less invasive compared to traditional bone grafting and implant placements, resulting in a quicker recovery time and reduced discomfort.

1. Severe Bone Loss in the Upper Jaw: Zygomatic implants are ideal for patients who have severe bone loss in the upper jaw and are not candidates for conventional implants.

2. Good Overall Health: Patients should be in good general health to ensure a smooth healing process. Conditions that affect bone healing or immune response may need to be managed before proceeding with zygomatic implants.

3. Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial for the success of zygomatic implants. Patients must be committed to regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups to ensure the long-term health of their implants.

1. Pre-Operative Preparation: Before the procedure, we will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for your surgery, including any dietary restrictions and medications to avoid.

2. During the Procedure: The implant placement is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Our team will use advanced techniques and technology to ensure precise placement and optimal results.

3. Post-Operative Care: After the procedure, you will receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to aid in your recovery. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

1. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing and flossing daily are essential to keep your implants and surrounding tissues healthy. We may recommend specific cleaning tools to help you care for your implants effectively.

2. Regular Dental Visits: Routine check-ups at Fremont Implant Clinic are crucial for monitoring the health of your implants and ensuring that your prosthetic remains in good condition.

3. Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Avoid smoking and follow a balanced diet to support healing and overall oral health. Managing chronic health conditions and following our post-operative care guidelines will also contribute to the success of your implants.
