Zygomatic implants are placed in the upper jaw and are like cheekbone implants. They’re an option reserved for patients with a severely sunken jaw that can no longer accommodate a denture.
The best candidates for zygomatic implants are patients who have difficulty keeping their dentures in, eating, or chewing because there is no bone left in the jaw. We offer Zygomatic Implant Treatment as an option for extreme cases of upper jaw-bone loss. It is typically from a doctor referral after multiple failed attempts at other practices and other options have been exhausted.
Patients must meet specific guidelines to qualify for zygomatic implants. The Oral Surgery Group fully evaluates each patient’s sinus during consultation to reduce the risk of sinusitis. Before the procedure, we will take X-Rays and CT scans, and we will make implant impressions. We are very thorough to ensure each patient’s health and success rate for the implant.
Drs. Sock, Daly, Dachowski, and Holewa will evaluate anyone with substantial bone loss. This is the first step to determine who may be a candidate for Zygomatic Implant Treatment. All doctors have extensive residency training, dual degrees, and the continued formal training that is required before placing the implant. Dr. Sock is national leader in X-Nav technology, which aids in painless and precise implant placement.
After a patient’s consultation, a personal treatment plan is made. We will make temporary teeth for the patient during implant construction. It usually takes several months for the implant to be made.
This graftless procedure is only for the upper jaw. In some cases, it provides an excellent alternative to bone grafting as well as sinus augmentation. Patients experience minimal surgical trauma and maximum oral function.
Generally, Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons perform the procedure; however, not all of them do. All of The Oral Surgery Group doctors have the additional training necessary to perform Zygomatic Implant Treatment.
We use high quality products from the leading brands (Nobel and Straumann) to produce better outcomes for a successful long-term impact.
I had 2 molars removed (17 & 18) and didn’t feel a thing! Before I knew it, they were out! If I ever need oral surgery again there is no one else I will see. I would HIGHLY recommend him!
My doctor was great and the staff were great also. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They were all very friendly and helpful.
I was able to get scheduled very soon after I first called in. And once I arrived at the office, the entire process from start to finish was prompt, professional, and expertly done. I am happy to recommend this practice to anyone.
Absolutely! I felt very confident with him. I will always return to him for any future dental work I need done. The whole experience was very well organized. I didn’t think a doctor and staff as good as this existed.
Dr. Dachowski is an amazing oral surgeon who is an expert in his field. I have had several implants placed by him and was a painless procedure. His entire team is professional and extremely concerned about their patients comfort and excellent care.
I traveled from Wilmington, DE because Dr. Dachowski and his staff are the best for teeth extractions and implants!
I am very happy with Dr. Dachowski and all of his staff. They have taken a displeasurable situation and made it the best it could be. My wife is also a patient and recommended me. I am very glad to have found them and would highly recommend them. As a business owner I understand the value of great customer service. Keep up the good work.
They are a very professional and impressive organization that uses the latest technology to do the job perfectly. They also take time to answer any questions you might have about the procedure. Will use them again and recommend them to others.
I highly recommend this practice for their quality service, knowledge & professionalism!
Absolutely no pain or discomfort. I feel better now. Highly recommend this practice and Dr. Sock in particular.
