Zygoma Dental Implants
Zygoma Dental Implants are anchored into the cheekbone rather than the jawbone, providing a reliable solution for patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss. These extra-long implants offer strong support for full-arch restorations even when conventional implants are not feasible.
At WestDent Clinic, treatment planning is carried out through detailed 3D tomography to evaluate the bone structure. By utilizing the dense zygomatic bone, the need for bone grafting is eliminated, reducing the overall treatment duration while ensuring implant stability.
Advantages of Zygoma Implants
A high-efficiency alternative for patients with insufficient maxillary bone — enabling full-arch rehabilitation without complex grafting procedures.
No Bone Grafting Required
Implants are secured to the zygomatic bone, eliminating grafting procedures and significantly shortening the rehabilitation process.
Ideal for Severe Bone Loss Cases
Even in patients with advanced bone atrophy or a long history of edentulism, zygoma implants provide a predictable foundation for fixed prosthetics.
High Stability and Long-Term Success
The dense structure of the cheekbone offers outstanding mechanical stability, supporting durable prosthetic performance and patient comfort.
Procedure Overview
The procedure begins with comprehensive diagnostic imaging to assess bone density and anatomical suitability. Once confirmed, implants are strategically placed in the zygomatic bone to support the full-arch restoration without grafting.
As healing progresses, a permanent prosthesis is fabricated and fitted to achieve optimal long-term function and aesthetics. Follow-up visits ensure continual monitoring and successful osseointegration.
Frequently Asked Questions
A zygoma implant is an extended-length implant designed to anchor into the cheekbone rather than the jawbone, providing support where standard implants cannot be applied due to bone loss.
Patients with severe maxillary bone resorption or individuals previously told they are not eligible for conventional implants may qualify following clinical and radiological evaluation.
No bone grafting is needed because the implants are anchored directly into the dense zygomatic bone, maintaining stability without additional augmentation procedures.
Zygoma implants allow fixed full-arch restorations without grafting and with shorter treatment timelines, offering a predictable and long-lasting solution in compromised jaws.
