Appointment with Maisie today was excellent.  She handled some unexpected findings very well, offering cogent and salient advice.  Analgesia was brilliant, and the work done very efficiently.  Good job.

Recently had my first hygienist appointment with Claire. Made to feel comfortable throughout the treatment by both Claire & her assistant. Claire was very helpful explaining & suggesting what I could to do at home. All the staff are excellent very helpful and cheerful.

I went to the invisalign open day and the service was wonderful and it's such a beautiful place. All the staff were lovely and really helpful. Unfortunately due to personal matters, I was unable to commit to going ahead with the invisalign treatment on the day however I will be going ahead with this treatment once I am able to. I didnt realise that once you attend one open day, you are unable to attend another, which is unfortunate as the offers on the open day are incredible, If I had known, I wouldnt have booked onto this open day however, I wanted to find out more information and thought this would be a good opportunity to do so and this was how it was advertised to me. The owner was great and did offer to extend the offer available on the day for a fixed period, but due to personal circumstances, again, I didn't feel it was sensible to commit. I did find out more about what the treatment would look like for me, which is what I wanted and I'll be back as soon as I can to go ahead with treatment and hopefully be able to benefit from the offers available today. If I wasnt having issues with our new build home, absolutely would have gone ahead! I am sure everyone who went ahead with their invisalign journey today will have a wonderful experience and thank you to the staff for a wonderful morning and being so helpful. See you all soon!

As someone who has always been terrified of the dentist, Black Swan Dental Spa in Crewkerne has completely changed my experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere—it immediately puts you at ease. The elegant, spa-like surroundings make it feel nothing like a typical dental visit! The surgery rooms are calming and relaxing, and the dentists are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely have your best interests at heart. They take the time to explain everything, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend Black Swan Dental Spa over any other dentist I’ve been to—it honestly doesn’t feel like you’re at the dentist at all! If you’re nervous about dental visits, this is the place to go. Absolutely outstanding service! 🦷✨ #LocalGuide #BlackSwanDentalSpa #FearFreeDentistry #5StarService #HighlyRecommended

What are Zygomatic Implants?

Essentially, they are still a dental implant but are different from the more conventional type,  because they are anchored to the Zygomatic bone, whereas other types are fixed to the maxilla.

Why get Zygomatic Implants?

The reason these are so amazing is because they can be used when the maxilla bone quality is not good enough,  or there is not enough of it for conventional dental implants. This can be due to a number of reasons and can obviously be upsetting for those who believe they can no longer have dental implants. Thanks to the Zygomatic implants there is an alternative solution that does not involve bone grafting or sinus lift procedures,  which can have a prolonged treatment and recovery time,  as well as restriction of dental wear.

How Successful Are They?

The Zygomatic Implants have only been around since the late 1990s,  but that does not mean they’re not as good. The reported success rate of Zygomatic Implants worldwide is a staggering 97-98%,  which is why we think it is such a shame that this type of implant is not offered more widely.

Are There Any Side Effects or Risks?

As with any medical procedure there are always risks. The main complication reported due to these implants is sinusitis,  which may not even appear until several years after the procedure has taken place. The placement of Zygomatic Implants may sometimes involve delicate anatomical structures, but this is why we ensure that only our very best and well-trained dentists offer this amazing treatment.

Am I Suitable for Zygomatic Implants?

To be sure, you would need to book an initial consultation and one of our highly trained dentists would advise from there. They have been used for dental rehabilitation which is the result of ageing, trauma, atrophy or even tumour resection.

They can be used in patients who have very mobile teeth,  perhaps due to disease, heavily broken-down teeth or even those who have no teeth in the upper jaw at all.

What Next?

If you feel like you might be interested in seeing if the Zygomatic Implants are for you, then do get in touch with us to book a consultation so that we can discuss the options open to you. You can book by calling our friendly reception team on 01460 77517 to make an appointment.
