What are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are an advanced dental solution designed for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional dental implants that require sufficient jawbone for support, zygomatic implants anchor into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which is denser and more stable. This innovative approach allows patients who were previously deemed unsuitable for conventional implants to regain functional and aesthetic smiles.

 

Procedure for Zygomatic Implants

The zygomatic implant procedure involves several carefully planned steps:

  1. Initial Consultation
    A comprehensive examination, including 3D imaging, is conducted to assess the condition of your jawbone and determine the suitability of zygomatic implants.

  2. Treatment Planning
    Based on your unique anatomy, a customized treatment plan is created. This may include additional procedures like sinus lifting if needed.

  3. Surgical Placement
    The zygomatic implants are placed into the cheekbone under local anesthesia or sedation for a pain-free experience. Depending on the case, conventional implants may also be placed alongside zygomatic implants to provide full support for the prosthetic teeth.

  4. Prosthetic Fitting
    Temporary teeth are often placed on the same day, allowing immediate functionality and aesthetics. Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, permanent prosthetic teeth are fitted.

  5. Follow-Up Care
    Regular check-ups and hygiene appointments are scheduled to ensure long-term success.

Benefits of Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants offer numerous advantages over traditional options, including:

  • Suitable for Severe Bone Loss
    They eliminate the need for bone grafting, making them ideal for patients with significant jawbone loss.

  • Immediate Results
    Most patients leave the clinic with temporary functional teeth on the same day as the surgery.

  • Minimally Invasive
    The procedure reduces the need for multiple surgeries, making it a less invasive option overall.

  • High Success Rate
    Zygomatic implants are durable and integrate well with the zygomatic bone, offering a long-lasting solution.

  • Enhanced Aesthetics and Functionality
    They restore the natural appearance of your smile while improving your chewing and speaking abilities.
