Zygomatic implants are longer implants anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) rather than the upper jawbone. This technique allows for implant placement even when there is insufficient bone for traditional implants.
Benefits of Zygomatic Implants:
- Immediate Function: Similar to All-on-4 implants, zygomatic implants can often support a fixed dental prosthesis on the same day as placement.
- No Bone Grafting Required: This procedure eliminates the need for bone grafting, which can extend treatment time and increase costs.
- Durable and Stable: Zygomatic implants provide a stable foundation for your replacement teeth, enhancing function and aesthetics.
Who is a Good Candidate for Zygomatic Implants?
- Patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who are not candidates for traditional implants.
- Individuals looking for a quick and effective solution to restore their smile.
- Those who have had unsuccessful dental treatments in the past.
