Zygoma Implants in Winnipeg
A new technology was developed in Europe to do upper jaw dental implant treatments without using the hip bone graft.
Zygomatic implants are a novel alternative to more traditional dental implants which involve drilling directly into the jawbone. This technique does not require grafting procedures. Rather, the ‘Zygoma technique’ uses the cheekbone zygoma bone, to anchor the longer zygoma implants.
What's the difference between zygoma implants and traditional implants?
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 for hip bone grafting
- Use your new implants immediately, biting and chewing is possible shortly after your surgery
