Dental Implants for Patients with Bone Loss
See why patients choose zygomatic dental implants in Kirkland, WA.
Traditionally, if you don’t have enough bone to support a dental implant, you will need a bone graft. This surgical procedure helps regenerate bone tissue and can take months, sometimes years, to achieve an adequate bone structure viable for an implant.
With zygomatic implants, you can avoid bone grafting! Instead of placing the implant in your jawbone (where bone deterioration has taken place), Dr. Keller places your implant in your cheekbone, which is dense and provides excellent support.
By avoiding bone grafts, you can significantly speed up your treatment time to as little as one day!
Dental implants are now commonly used to secure dentures. But if you have been wearing dentures or missing teeth for a while, chances are you don’t have enough bone to support them.
As time goes on, you are more likely to experience denture problems – slippage, discomfort, looseness, signs of aging, etc. – due to bone loss. That is, until now!
With zygomatic implants, you can replace your upper dentures with a brand new arch of teeth. Your new teeth will be permanently placed and custom-designed to look and feel like you were born with them. This process uses Dr. Keller’s Opens new tab to Same Day New Smile™ websiteSame Day New Smile™ technique.
Restore Your Smile
Get new teeth in one day.
As you age, your teeth may begin to fail you. This means more time at the dentist’s office, more money on treatments, more discomfort, and a loss of confidence. But with Same Day New Smile™, you can get a brand new, healthy smile in just one day!
Same Day New Smile™ is one of Dr. Keller’s famous inventions. Instead of replacing each missing or failing tooth with an individual implant, Dr. Keller places a full arch of teeth using a minimal number of implants (often only four).
Dr. Keller has designed this technique to encompass both traditional and zygomatic dental implants. So even if you have been told you are “not a dental implants candidate,” you can successfully restore your smile at our dental office in Kirkland, WA.
This technique is similar to All-On-4 implants; however, Dr. Keller performs the entire procedure and places your teeth in ONE DAY! You won’t go another day without your smile.
