What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?
Zygomatic dental implants are implant options for patients with severe bone loss in the jaw. With traditional dental implants, implant posts are surgically installed in the maxilla (jaw bone). When there is not enough healthy bone to support the implant, either a bone grafting procedure or zygoma implants may be recommended as an alternative. At ORA 4X Full Arch Implant Center, implant specialist Dr. Devan Dalla will be able to accurately determine the smile restoration procedure that is right for you.
Even if you have multiple missing teeth and have suffered from significant bone loss and soft tissue deterioration, dental implants are still an option. As one of the only dentists in Elk Grove, CA, to offer zygoma dental implants, Dr. Dalla will find a solution to restore your smile. Our practice uses the most cutting-edge dental technology, including a state-of-the-art intraoral scanner to recreate a 4D digital landscape of your oral arch. This helps us craft a dream smile that will last you the rest of your life.

How Zygomatic Implants Work
Zygomatic implant surgery follows the same step-by-step protocol as general implant surgery. However, instead of installing implants in the jaw, Dr. Dalla installs them in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). Unlike the maxilla (upper jaw bone), bone deterioration rarely occurs in the zygomatic bone. The bone remains strong and healthy even in the event of tooth loss, providing sturdy and rigid support for a full mouth restoration with four or more implants. If you’ve been told by another dentist that you don’t have enough bone for regular dental implants, get in touch with ORA 4X Full Arch Implant Center today.

What Causes Bone Loss?
A variety of factors can lead to bone loss in the jaw. Most commonly, it’s the result of poor diet and oral hygiene. When bacteria and plaque build up on soft tissue in between teeth, it causes chronic inflammation that can lead to bacterial infection below the surface of the gums. If left untreated, it can cause bone loss. Still, even in the event of severe bone and tooth loss, a perfect smile is still within reach thanks to zygoma implant procedures.
