As a dental surgeon at Nuffield Dental, ZAGA Center Singapore, I have seen firsthand the transformative effects that zygomatic implants can have on patients who are struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures.
Zygomatic implants are a well known dental procedure that provides a strong foundation for dental restorations by attaching to the cheekbone. This makes them an ideal solution for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the jaw and are not good candidates for traditional dental implants.
One of my patients, let's call her Sarah, had been struggling with her dentures for years. She was unable to eat the foods she loved, had difficulty speaking clearly, and felt self-conscious about her smile. After an evaluation, I determined that zygomatic implants would be the best solution for her.
Let me tell you more about Sarah's story, as it highlights just how transformative zygomatic implants can be for patients who have been struggling with dental issues for a long time.
Sarah had been rejected by several dentists because she had experienced significant bone loss in her jaw, which made her a poor candidate for traditional dental implants. She was told that it would take 9-12 months of bone grafting and healing before she could receive traditional implants, which left her feeling frustrated and hopeless. She had countless appointments over 6 months and felt that there was no other solution apart from dentures that did not give her the ability to eat meat and nuts and enjoy the lifestyle diet she wanted along with a smile that she lost many years ago.
She then came to Nuffield Dental Jewel at Wheelock Place Orchard Road, after finding out that I place zygomatic implants for patients with severe bone loss in the jaw. After an evaluation, I determined that zygomatic implants would be the best solution for her. The procedure went smoothly and Sarah was amazed by how quickly she was able to see results and use her new found smile and bite.
Within a single day Sarah was able to enjoy her favorite foods again and felt confident being able to smile and integrate into society normally again. The fact that zygomatic implants were able to provide such a solution for her was incredibly rewarding for us as a dental team.
If you have been struggling with dental issues and have been told that traditional implants are not an option for you, zygomatic implants may be the solution you have been searching for. Our team can help determine if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.
Don't give up just because you have been told that there are no options available to you.
