Pyterogoid & Zygomatic Implants - Louisville, KY
Creating Beautiful, Healthy Smiles with Zygomatic Dental Implants
If you’ve been told you aren’t a candidate for traditional dental implants due to low jawbone density, Harmon Dental Center in Louisville, KY, offers a powerful alternative with zygomatic dental implants. Unlike standard dental implants, zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the jawbone, bypassing the need for bone grafts.
Thanks to advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology, we can give patients a brand-new, healthy smile, even when other options have been exhausted. Zygomatic dental implants are uniquely designed to support dental implants in patients who cannot receive them, giving renewed hope for a full, functional smile.
Candidates for zygomatic dental implants are typically those with severe jawbone loss who have been told they can’t receive traditional dental implants. Zygomatic implants provide an alternative solution, allowing patients to achieve a complete and functional smile without needing bone grafting.
Ideal for individuals with advanced bone loss, this approach bypasses the limitations of traditional implants by anchoring in the cheekbone. Choosing zygomatic dental implants can help patients regain the aesthetics and functionality of a complete set of teeth, restoring confidence and quality of life. If traditional implants aren’t an option, zygomatic implants can offer you a viable, long-lasting solution.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Harmon Dental Center in Louisville, KY. Our dental team will assess your jawbone structure and overall oral health to determine if zygomatic implants are right for you.
We will take digital scans and photos and perform a comprehensive exam to understand your current dental concerns. We will also discuss any questions and explain the process in detail.
Once your choice of sedation has been administered, we will make small incisions in your gums to access the underlying bone. We will then place 4-6 zygomatic implants into the cheekbones. This approach allows us to avoid bone grafting while ensuring a stable, reliable foundation for your new teeth. Once your implants are placed, we will attach an abutment connector on top and place your temporary teeth set.
After your procedure, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the progress of your zygomatic dental implants. During this visit, we’ll ensure your implants integrate properly with your zygoma and that there aren’t any complications. Our team will also assess how well you are healing and address any concerns you may have.
Once the implants have fully integrated with your zygoma, we will replace your temporary teeth with a custom-designed permanent restoration. This prosthesis is meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural smile, ensuring exceptional aesthetics and optimal functionality. The outcome is a stunning, fully restored smile you can confidently rely on for many years.
