FAQs With Dr. Draper
Zygomatic dental implants offer numerous benefits, especially:
The success rate of zygomatic dental implants is over 96%, making them nearly as predictable as conventional dental implants. Considering that there is no need for sinus lift surgery or bone grafting, you can expect amazing results after your procedure is complete. Traditional dental implants offer a 98-99% success rate, which is higher than any other modern restorative treatment.

How Long Do Zygomatic Implants Last?
Any properly-installed dental implant that’s looked after appropriately has the potential to last the rest of your life. That means cleaning around the implants thoroughly each day—with a toothbrush, floss, and/or water flosser—and scheduling regular cleanings with your dentist. By preventing plaque accumulation and gum inflammation around each implant, you are protecting them against peri-implantitis (the leading cause of implant failure.) .
Since both traditional and zygomatic dental implants can last for decades, they provide the best return on investment of any modern tooth replacement treatment in DFW.

As far as disadvantages, zygomatic implants:
Single Tooth Replacement
Zygomatic dental implants are a substitute dental implant design made for people who don’t qualify for bone grafting or have significant bone loss as a result of their missing teeth. Since we tend to lose more bone the longer we go with missing teeth, placing a traditional dental implant isn’t always a viable solution.
The design of zygomatic (graftless) dental implants allows them to be positioned at an angle, maximizing the bone structure you still have. Zygomatic dental implants are a bit longer than conventional ones, so they’re able to reach further into the healthy bone above your missing teeth, including the zygomatic arch (cheekbone) for reinforcement.
The first step in dental implant therapy is consulting with a specialist to find out if you qualify for traditional dental implants. Even if a general dentist tells you that implants are not an option, it’s best to discuss your condition with an expert.
Zygomatic dental implants were specifically designed for people who don’t qualify for traditional implants. Since they’re placed in the bone differently than conventional designs, most people who lack appropriate bone support or don’t qualify for bone grafting do well with zygomatic implants instead.
To determine if you qualify for zygomatic dental implants (and most people with bone loss do), you’ll want to reserve a consultation with our DFW implant specialists.
The procedure: Since zygomatic dental implants don’t require additional bone grafting, they can usually be installed at the earliest opportunity. In contrast, conventional bone grafting patients may need to wait 2-3 months before implant installation.
Placing these extended dental implants usually requires sedation for maximum comfort. This allows our patients to sleep through the procedure and wake up once it’s complete. If there are any teeth that need to be removed, we may be able to combine the extractions with the implant placement for a single treatment appointment.
Heal & post-op: After your dental implants are installed, you’ll want to give yourself a day or two to rest. Take any medication as prescribed to help prevent swelling or irritation. More than likely, we’ll place an immediate interim appliance (like a temporary denture) to wear as your implants integrate with the bone. Within a few months, your temporary prosthesis will be changed out with a permanent, high-quality one.

this is what I have always wanted.
