High-quality dental implants at Milestone Oral Surgery & Implant Center (MOSAIC) closely replicate the look, feel, and function of natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care. If you’ve experienced tooth loss in your upper back jaw, this presents unique surgical challenges that require the extensive expertise of a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, such as Dr. Parshan Namiranian.
Unlike traditional dental implants that rely on your upper jawbone for support, zygomatic dental implants are anchored in your dense cheekbone (zygomatic bone). Rest assured, Dr Parshan Namiranian, who has treated over 4,000 arches full-arch dental implants, including in patients who required a combination of traditional dental implants and zygomatic implants in Mission Viejo, CA.
If another practice has turned you away due to bone deterioration in your upper back jaw, MOSAIC is the right practice for full-mouth dental implants. In general, zygomatic implants are suitable for adults with extensive atrophy of the maxilla (upper jaw) or those who have failed traditional implants. But whether you’re getting zygomatic implants or conventional dental implants in Mission Viejo, CA, it’s essential for Dr. Namiranian to assess the following factors to help determine your suitability:
Inserted into the jawbone (maxilla and/or mandible) in areas with sufficient bone health
Requires bone grafting if bone volume and/or density are inadequate
Titanium implant posts measure 5-22 mm in length
Anchored into the dense zygomatic bone in the upper jaw only
Doesn't require bone grafting in cases of severe maxillary bone loss
Titanium implant posts measure 30–60 mm in length
The first step in your zygomatic implants journey is to schedule a consultation with our oral surgeon. During this visit, Dr. Namiranian will examine your mouth and take digital X-rays and/or a CT scan to determine if zygomatic implants are a good option for you. The 3D image taken with our cone-beam computed tomography scanner is vital for assessing your underlying oral structures and planning precise surgery.
Before surgery, our team will provide you with important surgical instructions to follow, ensuring a complication-free surgery and recovery. During surgery, IV sedation will help you remain asleep.
At the same time, Dr. Namiranian meticulously places the extra-long implant posts in your cheekbone in combination with two to four traditional implants per arch. Traditional implants are placed in the anterior (front) region of the upper jaw, in areas with adequate bone volume, as well as exclusively in the lower jaw.
As with All-on-X full-mouth dental implants, we can fit you with healing teeth the same day as surgery. You may experience mild postsurgical bruising and pain that can typically be alleviated with pain medication.
During the first year, follow-up visits are vital for addressing any immediate issues and ensuring the implants are fusing properly with your bone during the 3–6 month osseointegration process.
By the fourth to sixth month, osseointegration is typically complete, and your implants are fully stable. During this period, our team will remove your temporary teeth and install a beautiful zirconia prosthesis made to fit and function seamlessly.
The transformation from temporary teeth to artfully fabricated, final teeth marks a significant milestone in your journey to a newfound smile, improved function, and increased confidence.
Placing zygomatic implants requires in-depth knowledge of the oral and maxillofacial region, rigorous training, and extensive surgical experience. Dr. Namiranian has perfected the art and science of placing both traditional and zygomatic implants.
Combining advanced technology and superb surgical skills with soothing sedation and a kind chairside manner, getting zygomatic dental implants in Mission Viejo, CA, will be more comfortable than you ever imagined.
