Zygomatic Dental Implants in Lighthouse Point, FL

Serving Pompano Beach and Ft Lauderdale

Did you know that zygomatic dental implants have one of the highest success rates of any dental implant procedure? With a success rate of over 98%, zygomatic dental implants are a safe and effective way to replace missing teeth. If you've been considering a tooth replacement option, zygomatic dental implants may be right for you. Fortunately, Dr. Jennifer Schaumberg at the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point is a leading zygomatic dental implant provider in Florida and is here to help you every step of the way.

What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Zygomatic dental implants are a type of dental implant that is placed in the zygomatic bone, which is located in the cheekbone area. Zygomatic dental implants are typically used in cases where traditional dental implants are not an option, such as when there is insufficient bone volume in the jaw. Zygomatic dental implants are also an option for patients who have had previous unsuccessful dental implant surgery.

The Benefits of Zygomatic Dental Implants

Zygomatic dental implants offer many benefits for patients who are missing teeth. Zygomatic dental implants are a safe and effective way to replace missing teeth, and they have a high success rate. Additionally, zygomatic dental implants can help preserve the jawbone and prevent further bone loss. Unlike traditional dental implants, which require a lengthy healing process, zygomatic dental implants can be placed in a single surgery. This means that you can get your new teeth faster and with less discomfort.

The Zygomatic Dental Implants Process

The zygomatic dental implants process begins with a consultation with Dr. Schaumberg.

During your consultation, Dr. Schaumberg will perform a thorough examination of your mouth and jaws to determine if you are a candidate for zygomatic dental implants. If you are a candidate for zygomatic dental implants, Dr. Schaumberg will work with you to schedule the zygomatic implants placement day. During the procedure, you can expect the following to occur:

Incision. First, Dr. Schaumberg will make an incision in the gums to expose the zygomatic bone.

Placement. Next, she will place the zygomatic dental implants into the bone. This specifically involves placing the implants into the zygomatic bone by using a special drill.

Sutures. Once the zygomatic dental implants are in place, she will close the incisions with sutures.

Healing. After your surgery, you can expect some bruising and swelling around the cheek area. This is normal and will resolve itself within a few days. You will also be given pain medication to help with any discomfort.

Recovery. The recovery process for zygomatic dental implants is typically shorter than the recovery process for traditional dental implants. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a week.
