Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants are a specialized treatment method developed for patients with advanced bone loss in the upper jaw who do not have sufficient bone volume for conventional implant placement. Unlike traditional implants, these are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). This approach eliminates the need for additional procedures such as bone grafting and makes it possible to place fixed dental prostheses. Since the zygomatic bone offers greater volume and density, it provides a strong and stable foundation for implants.

Who Are They Suitable For?

Patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw due to long-term tooth loss, trauma, periodontal disease, or failed previous implant attempts are suitable candidates for zygomatic implants. This method is typically recommended in advanced cases where conventional fixed prosthetic solutions are considered impossible.

Surgical and Prosthetic Process

Zygomatic implants are longer than conventional implants and placed at specific angles. The surgical procedure requires expertise, advanced imaging, and detailed digital planning. In appropriate cases, they can be combined with the Immediate Loading protocol, allowing patients to receive temporary fixed teeth on the same day as surgery.

Advantages

• Eliminates the need for bone grafting or sinus lifting.

• Shortens the overall treatment time.

• Restores chewing function and aesthetics in a short period.

• Provides a permanent and strong solution for patients with a history of failed prosthetic treatments.
