Can people with bone loss get dental implants


Posted on 2/7/2022 by Ankur Johri
Can people with bone loss get dental implantsPatients suffering from bone loss can get dental implants; it can be done with no lengthy bone grafting procedures. A qualified dental professional has to consider many factors before a suitable dental implant is considered. Before administering implants, factors put into consideration are how much bone has been lost, bone loss occurs from which part of the mouth, the teeth number, and the cause of bone loss.

Implants which can be used to treat bone loss


Zygomatic implants are implants placed in different positions of the patient`s bone when the implant starts approaching the bone directly underneath the gum. This happens when the bone loss is very convectional; patients who had earlier performed bone grafts can use dental implants to restore the missing part of the bone structure; after the implants are placed in the zygoma, patients are offered other options required to complete the bone grafting.

When zygomatic implants are used, there are many benefits like the soft tissues lack compress this means the patient gets more comfortable than bone grafting the reason for this is the implants don't lean on the tissues which are soft for structural support, this removes any factor which is compressing that might exist. The implants also offer great stability, which is necessary for function. The implants improve and enhance before and after the surgery; this provides effective options for treating patients with bone loss conditions.

Zygomatic improves the quality of life. The zygomatic implants are highly valued for treating bone loss compared to the implants used traditionally; zygomatic implants have made patients who are undergoing grafts less painful; thus, the treatment time is shorter, and the surgical outcomes are improved. The implants associate well with other body`s soft tissues, which decreases the chances of post-operative complications and discomfort.
