If you’re considering dental implants but are concerned about bone loss, you're not alone. Many patients facing similar issues worry they might not be candidates for this transformative procedure. However, advanced dental techniques and technologies have made it possible for most individuals to enjoy the benefits of dental implants, even those with significant bone loss. At
Innate Dental Solutions in Plano, TX, we specialize in providing solutions that make dental implants a reality for patients who thought it was out of their reach.
Dental implants require a solid foundation of bone for placement. They integrate with the bone, creating a stable support for artificial teeth. Bone loss, which can result from periodontal disease, trauma, or natural aging, compromises this stability. Without sufficient bone, an implant cannot properly integrate, which may lead to implant failure. Understanding the impact of bone loss is crucial in addressing how to successfully place implants in patients who have experienced significant bone deterioration.
For those who have significant bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic dental implants present a viable and effective alternative. Unlike traditional dental implants that are anchored into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are longer and anchored into the zygomatic bone, or cheekbone. This area generally does not suffer the same degree of resorption (bone loss) as the jaw, making it an excellent site for securing dental implants.
Zygomatic implants have been developed to address the needs of patients with severe bone loss who cannot undergo conventional implant procedures. The design of these implants allows them to anchor securely in the denser zygomatic bone, bypassing areas where bone is insufficient. This technique not only provides a solution for those with severe loss but also avoids the need for multiple, extensive bone grafting surgeries, simplifying the patient’s treatment journey.
Choosing zygomatic implants offers several advantages. Firstly, the procedure typically involves less discomfort and a shorter recovery period compared to extensive bone grafting. Patients can often experience immediate improvements in functionality and aesthetics. Additionally, because zygomatic implants do not rely on the jawbone, they avoid the issues of bone degradation, providing a lasting solution. The stability offered by these implants also means patients can enjoy all the benefits of secure, natural-looking teeth, improving their overall quality of life and self-esteem.
For patients who have experienced bone loss in areas not suitable for zygomatic implants, particularly the lower jaw, bone grafts are another effective option. A bone graft involves transplanting bone tissue from another part of the body or using synthetic materials to rebuild the jawbone. Over time, the transplanted bone fuses with the existing bone, creating a stronger and more stable base for implant placement. While this process is more complex and takes longer than zygomatic implants, it significantly enhances the success rate of dental implants for patients with severe bone loss.
