Zygomatic implants are a specialized dental implant solution designed for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who are not suitable candidates for conventional implants. Instead of being placed in the jawbone, these longer implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which provides strong and stable support for full-arch restorations.
This advanced technique eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting procedures, making it an ideal option for patients who have experienced significant bone resorption due to long-term tooth loss, periodontal disease, trauma, or previous implant failures.
Zygomatic implants are often used as part of full-mouth rehabilitation treatments such as All-on-4 or All-on-6 in cases where the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone volume.
Zygomatic implants are recommended for patients who:
Have severe bone loss in the upper jaw
Are not suitable for traditional implants due to insufficient bone
Want to avoid complex and time-consuming bone grafting procedures
Have experienced previous implant failures
Have been told they are not candidates for dental implants
A comprehensive clinical examination and advanced 3D imaging are essential to evaluate bone structure and determine whether zygomatic implants are the most appropriate treatment option.
One of the main advantages of zygomatic implants is that they allow implant treatment without the need for bone grafting or sinus lift procedures. This significantly reduces overall treatment time and surgical stages.
Key benefits include:
Immediate or early loading possibilities
Avoidance of extensive bone grafting
High stability and long-term success rates
Shorter treatment duration
Restoration of full chewing function and facial support
Because the implants are anchored in dense cheekbone tissue, they provide exceptional stability even in cases of extreme bone loss.
The treatment begins with detailed planning using digital imaging and 3D analysis. Due to the complexity of the procedure, careful surgical planning is essential.
Zygomatic implants are placed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case. In many situations, a temporary fixed prosthesis can be attached shortly after surgery, allowing patients to regain function and aesthetics quickly.
After the healing period and implant integration, the final prosthetic restoration is placed.
Patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort during the first few days following surgery. Proper oral hygiene and regular follow-up visits are essential for long-term success.
Zygomatic implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for patients who previously had limited treatment options. The results restore facial structure, improve chewing ability, and provide a stable and natural-looking smile.
