When teeth go missing, the body will start to break down the bone used to support those teeth. Over time, bone loss in the upper jaw may become extensive, making replacing your missing teeth with conventional dental implants impossible.
Fortunately, Kenneth Carey, DMD, OMFS, has specialized training as an oral surgeon to place zygomatic dental implants. This revolutionary approach to dental implants eliminates the need for bone grafting or ridge augmentation while providing a full arch of strong, stable, natural-looking replacement teeth.
If you’ve been turned away from other practices or told you’re not a candidate for dental implants, there may still be hope.
If you’ve been turned away from other practices or told you’re not a candidate for dental implants, there may still be hope. Only a handful of surgeons in the country offer zygomatic implants. As an expert in advanced dental surgeries, Dr. Carey has the expertise and experience to place zygomatic implants with predictable, reliable results.
At Heartland Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, we’re proud to offer this specialized solution to dental implants in Kearney, NE, and Grand Island, NE. You deserve to enjoy various favorite foods and a smile you feel proud of!
Zygomatic implants are placed in the zygomatic (cheek) bones, which are strong, stable facial bones. If you have significant bone loss or don’t have sufficient structure to support conventional implants, we can achieve the same great results without additional procedures such as bone grafting.
Placing zygomatic implants is one of the most complex surgeries in implant dentistry. Surprisingly, they offer a less invasive alternative for patients needing extensive intervention to build enough bone volume to support conventional implants. Dr. Carey routinely places zygomatic dental implants in Grand Island, NE, and Kearney, NE, and has nearly two decades of experience and clinical results to back his treatments.
The benefits of zygomatic implants include:
We understand that struggling with missing teeth and bone loss and being turned away from the life-changing potential of rebuilding your smile with dental implants can be discouraging. With advanced surgical techniques such as zygomatic implants, there may still be hope to rebuild your smile permanently.
Your path to rebuilding your smile starts with a consultation. Dr. Carey will use 3D cone-beam CT scans to digitally plan every aspect of your procedure with precision. You’ll rest comfortably during your procedure with the anesthesia option that’s right for you.
Dr. Carey will place your implant posts strategically in your zygomatic bone at a 45-degree angle to ensure maximum stability. This procedure may also involve placing conventional dental implants where you have the bone volume to support them, providing even more stability to your new smile.
Using our 3D dental printer and temporary mill, we’ll custom-craft a beautiful temporary prosthesis to wear while your implants heal. The healing process will take several months, but most patients report minimal discomfort only for the first few days.
Because no bone grafting is necessary for this treatment, we can often complete your treatment process faster and provide you with a functional, beautiful new smile more quickly than conventional treatment.
Once your implants have fully integrated with the supporting bone, your gorgeous final restorations can be placed, giving you a smile you’ll love for life. With zygomatic dental implants from Heartland Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, you can permanently experience a better quality of life!
