Zygomatic dental implants

Zygomatic dental implants or zygoma implants

Zygomatic dental implants are an ideal solution for those individuals who have lost all of their upper teeth and have been told that they do not have enough bone density for dental implants in their upper jaw.

The placement of zygomatic dental implants provides a unique opportunity for patients with a severely resorbed maxilla and is carried out in a single surgical procedure during which a bridge is fitted to the implants on the same day. This is a good alternative when all on

This procedure also avoids the need for extensive bone grafting which would otherwise be needed.

Unlike traditional dental implants zygomatic dental implants are much longer since they are anchored into the very dense zygoma bone (cheekbone). The placement of these implants requires the skills of an experienced surgeon. Not all implant dentists can place zygomatic dental implants, it is an advanced procedure.
