Here’s a Quick Way to fix dental implants with less bone volume

An implant tooth is relatively the best dental restoration solution because the teeth restored with implants have artificial roots and they resemble natural teeth in both appearance & functionality. Moreover, the fixed implants tend to prevent the jaw bone from declining which occurs aftermath of tooth loss. In the meantime, you should have enough bone mass in your jawbone to receive implants.

It does not mean that people having weak jaw bone cannot get teeth implants. A surgical procedure called “Bone Graft” helps such people to harden the jawbone before fixing implants but it will elongate the implant dentistry treatments.

On the other hand, there are some revolutionary procedures available for such patients. In this post, our implantologists have described Zygomatic implants that can be fixed with less bone volume.

What are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are extra-long and have different structures as they are fixed in a different location of the patient’s bone structure. It is different from traditional implants as the traditional implants are embedded in the jawbone underneath the gums whereas the zygomatic dental implants are anchored to the cheekbone.

Our cheekbones are denser than the jaw bone. When an artificial tooth is implanted in the cheekbone, it also holds the same stabilization as well as traditional implants.

So you don’t need additional therapies such as bone graft for fixing implant teeth.

Advantages of using Zygomatic dental implants

If you prefer zygomatic implants over bone grafting, you will enjoy the following benefits:

• The series of procedures in bone graft surgery may lead to certain complications at times. Zygomatic implants are free from those risks. So you can feel much more comfortable.
• In certain cases, the structural support revamped with graft for fixing implant teeth will move with activities like extensive biting and chewing. Luckily, zygomatic implants have unthreaded implant body that works well with the tissues around such structural support. Hence you need not worry about moving the structural support system.
• Fewer chances of post-operative complications.
• These implants have a pair of angulations such as 45-degree angulation head that help in facilitating implant placement.
• The treatment duration and healing period are the same as traditional dental implants.

Bottom line

Currently, zygomatic dental implants are suitable to replace missing teeth in the upper jaw whereas implants and advanced solutions like Pterygoid implants, Prosthetic Rebuilding, Trans-Sinus Implants are also available to restore missing teeth in the upper jaw without bone.

Likewise, Subperiosteal Implants are recommended as dental restoration appliances for people who lost their bone in the lower jaw.

Remember that the advancements in dentistry technologies have brought an enormous amount of solutions to restore your missing teeth even though you have less volume in the jaw bone.

Apart from these implant dentistry techniques and bone graft surgery, people with low bone density in their jaw bone have solutions like bone expansion, sinus elevation procedures that help them to get teeth implants.
