Zygomatic implants
We specialise in zygomatic implants, a cutting-edge solution for patients with severe maxillary bone loss who cannot use standard dental implants. Our clinic offers this advanced treatment option to provide stable and long-lasting prosthetic support without extensive grafting procedures.
What are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are longer than conventional dental implants and are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) rather than the maxilla (upper jaw). This technique is particularly beneficial for patients with significant bone deterioration in the upper jaw, enabling them to receive implant-supported prostheses.
Benefits of Zygomatic Implants:
- No Bone Grafting Required: Eliminates the need for time-consuming and potentially uncomfortable bone graft procedures.
- Immediate Load Capabilities: Allows for the placement of a provisional prosthesis immediately after implant surgery, providing an immediate improvement in function and aesthetics.
- High Success Rate: Offers a reliable and durable solution for those with severe bone loss.
- Improved Quality of Life: Enhances chewing ability, speech, and overall facial aesthetics.
Our Zygomatic Implant Procedure:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: A thorough assessment including 3D imaging to plan the implant placement.
- Surgical Procedure: Performed under sedation or general anesthesia, the implants are carefully placed into the zygomatic bone.
- Immediate Prosthetic Placement: A temporary bridge is often attached during the same surgical session.
- Final Restoration: After a healing period, a permanent custom-made prosthetic is secured to the implants.
