What Is a Zygomatic Implant?

A zygomatic implant is an advanced dental implant solution designed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who are not suitable candidates for traditional dental implants. Unlike conventional implants that are placed into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone, also known as the cheekbone, which provides a strong and stable foundation.

This innovative technique allows patients with advanced bone resorption to receive fixed teeth without the need for extensive bone grafting procedures. Zygomatic implants are especially beneficial for individuals who have been told they cannot receive implants due to insufficient bone volume.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are recommended for patients who experience significant bone loss in the upper jaw. This treatment is commonly suitable for individuals with:

Advanced upper jaw bone resorption
Long-term tooth loss with severe bone deterioration
Failed bone grafting procedures
Inability to undergo sinus lift surgery
Desire for fixed teeth instead of removable dentures

A thorough clinical examination and advanced imaging, such as 3D CBCT scans, are essential to determine candidacy and plan the treatment safely.

Advantages of Zygomatic Implants

One of the greatest advantages of zygomatic implants is that they eliminate the need for bone grafting or sinus lift surgeries. This significantly reduces treatment time, surgical interventions, and overall recovery duration.

Zygomatic implants provide immediate stability, allowing for the placement of temporary fixed teeth shortly after surgery in many cases. They also offer high success rates when performed by experienced specialists and restore both function and aesthetics effectively.

Additionally, patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech, and facial support, which helps prevent the sunken facial appearance associated with bone loss.

Zygomatic Implant Treatment Process

The treatment process begins with a detailed consultation and digital planning using advanced imaging technologies. Each case is individually assessed to determine implant positioning and prosthetic design.

The surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient’s comfort and clinical needs. Zygomatic implants are carefully placed into the cheekbone at a precise angle to ensure maximum stability.

In many cases, temporary fixed teeth can be attached shortly after surgery, allowing patients to leave the clinic with functional teeth on the same day or within a few days. After the healing period, permanent prosthetic teeth are placed.

Before and After Results

After zygomatic implant treatment, patients experience a significant improvement in quality of life. Chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics are restored. Patients regain confidence with fixed, natural-looking teeth that function like real teeth.
