Dr Ellie Ledger with patient
Zygomatic dental implants surgery
With zygomatic implants you can restore your natural smile, even if you don’t have enough bone density
The All on 4 procedure with zygomatic implants gives you back your natural smile, restoring your confidence and self-esteem, and it can be done in as little as a single day. We secure a full set of permanent replacement teeth to your upper and/or lower jaw which look and feel completely natural.
All on 4 requires strong, dense bone
The All on 4 dental implant procedure is so successful because we place implants into the stronger, denser bone at the front of your jaw, allowing a permanent bridge to be securely supported on just four implants. However, some people do not have strong and dense enough bone for normal-length implants. For example, if you have been wearing dentures for a long time, the bone may have deteriorated.
Zygomatic dental implants give your bridge better stability
We may still be able to give you back your natural-looking smile in just one day with the All on 4 procedure using zygomatic implants. We place extra-long rear implants into the cheekbone – the zygomatic arch. Here they can reach additional, stronger bone to provide a more secure foundation, giving your replacement teeth better stability.
Near 100% success rate with Zygomatic implants
Dr. Ellie Ledge and her talented team have achieved a near 100% success rate with zygomatic implants, helping patients regain the ability and confidence to do everything they could with their own natural teeth.
How do zygomatic dental implants make a difference?
Zygomatic implants surgery provides a real benefit to patients with insufficient bone density for the normal All on 4 dental implants procedure. We may be able to give you back your natural smile even if you have been told your jawbone isn’t strong enough.
Just like your own natural teeth
Your replacement teeth will be firmly secured, durable and long-lasting. They won’t move or ever fall out and they will look and feel like your natural teeth. So, you can eat the food you want to, talk, smile, sing and exercise without worry. Maintaining a healthy oral hygiene routine is also as easy as if they were your own natural teeth.
Improved facial appearance
If the bone in your jaw has deteriorated you may have experienced some ‘collapsing’, which can result in a change in the appearance of your face. The zygomatic implants procedure will help improve the structure of your jaw and your facial appearance.
No need for other complex surgeries, such as bone grafting
Bone grafting and other surgeries that are more invasive, costly and lengthy are not required. Rather than several procedures and up to six months to heal, the zygomatic implants procedures can be done in just one stage – placing the implants and attaching the bridge of natural-looking replacement teeth. If you look after them and maintain them properly, they can last you a lifetime.
How do Zygomatic dental implants work?
Zygomatic implants are longer than normal and are placed into your cheekbone, which is called the zygomatic arch. This provides a stronger and more secure foundation for the All-on-4 procedure if you have insufficient bone density at the front of your jaw. The procedure was first developed by Professor Branemark and Nobel Biocare in Sweden, a company with over 60 years of pioneering scientific research and innovation.
Extra-long zygomatic dental implants reaching into your cheekbone
Two front implants of normal length are placed at an angle into the stronger, denser bone at the front of your jaw. Two extra-long rear implants are surgically anchored into your cheekbone – the zygomatic arch – where the bone is even stronger.
A stronger, more secure foundation
Depending on the extent of bone deterioration, up to four zygomatic implants can be used to support up to eight ordinary implants. The implants provide a secure foundation, onto which crowns, dentures and bridges of replacement teeth can be attached. In the All on 4 procedure, this will be a bridge containing a whole row of new teeth.
Award-winning, natural-looking teeth
The dental bridge is designed manufactured and fitted by our award-winning dental technician. It is sculpted and crafted to look and feel like natural, healthy teeth and gums.
Minimising discomfort and anxiety
We’ll do our best to make sure your treatment is as painless as possible. To ensure your comfort throughout the zygomatic procedure, the treatment is carried out under intravenous sedation. Our specialist anaesthetists will ensure that any pain and discomfort are minimised during all of your treatment.
