Zygomatic dental implants

Have you been told that severe jaw decay means dental implants aren't an option for you to replace missing teeth? Or perhaps you thought your condition was too severe for them? You might be surprised to discover there's still a chance to achieve a full, healthy, and stunning smile even after significant jawbone loss. Dr. Ibrahim Haron can transform your life and smile with zygomatic dental implants in Fairfax, Fredericksburg, or Manassas, VA.

Zygomatic dental implant placement is a highly specialized technique that demands the skill of a highly qualified practitioner. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Haron possesses the in-depth training (including a hospital residency), experience, and expertise necessary to restore your smile following extensive tooth loss and jawbone degradation. It's a remarkable and intricate procedure. If you've been turned down for dental implants before, it may simply be that you haven't met the right doctor yet!

Exploring the Advantages of Zygomatic Dental Implants

It's common knowledge that traditional dental implants provide a durable, screw-like foundation in your jaw, serving as a permanent replacement for lost tooth roots. However, for those with insufficient bone density to support standard implants, zygomatic dental implants offer a revolutionary solution. These implants are three to four times longer than their traditional counterparts, enabling them to anchor securely in the cheekbones instead. This method presents a viable alternative to the extensive bone grafting often required for implant support, allowing patients to recover a complete arch of upper teeth. But the benefits extend far beyond dental restoration; zygomatic implants also restore lost confidence, improve functionality, and enhance facial aesthetics.

The absence of teeth and jawbone can lead to a prematurely aged look, a restricted diet limited to specific foods, the forfeiture of favorite meals, and potential speech difficulties. Under the skilled care of Dr. Haron, zygomatic dental implants form a key component of comprehensive full mouth treatment. Dr. Haron ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure, employing nitrous oxide and IV sedation techniques that allow most patients to sleep through their treatment, paving the way for a transformed quality of life.
