Zygomatic Implants offer treatment options for patients who are not candidates for traditional dental implants in Winnipeg.
Have you been told you’re not a candidate for dental implants because you lack adequate bone in your upper jaw? If so, now is the time to get a second opinion from the Panorama Oral Surgery in Winnipeg.
What are Zygomatic Implants?
We offer an innovative new therapy called zygomatic implants. This treatment offers a unique alternative that patients who have been told that they are not candidates for dental implants. The Zygomatic implant, or cheek bone implant, uses the cheekbone zygoma bone, to anchor the longer zygoma implants.
Implants without a bone graft
From a patient perspective, while a longer implant may seem daunting, this novel approach allows an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to place an implant without the need of a bone graft. Patients often find this to be a big relief as the bone grafting procedure requires multiple appointments, and additional healing time.
With zygomatic implants, we can place a bridge onto the implants immediately, making it possible for you to walk out of surgery with a brand-new smile.
Zygoma implants compared to traditional dental implants:
- A fixed row of teeth within 3 days rather than 6 months
- Significantly less discomfort for patient
- No need him or bone grafting
- Use your new implants immediately, biting and chewing is possible shortly after your surgery.
