Understanding Zygomatic Dental Implants
Unlike conventional dental implants, which are secured in the jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are surgically placed in the zygomatic (cheek) bones. With support coming from a strong, stable facial bone, these dental implants do not require alterations of the jawbone, such as bone grafting, in order to support a bridge of fixed teeth. Zygomatic implants are one of the most complex surgeries in implant dentistry, and few oral surgeons are trained in this procedure. Dr. Palani places zygomatic dental implants in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. on a routine basis, and he has years of experience and clinical results to back his treatments.
