Question 1

What are zygomatic implants?

Accepted Answer

Zygomatic implants are a highly advanced dental implant solution. They are much longer than traditional implants and are anchored into the dense zygoma bone (cheekbone) instead of the jawbone.

Question 2

How do they differ from traditional implants?

Accepted Answer

The key difference is the anchor point. Traditional implants are placed in the jawbone (maxilla), while zygomatic implants are placed in the cheekbone. This provides a stable foundation even when the maxillary bone is severely atrophied.

Question 3

What is the procedure for zygomatic implants?

Accepted Answer

It is a complex surgery performed by a highly experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon. It involves placing two to four zygomatic implants, often in conjunction with conventional implants in the front of the jaw. Immediate loading with temporary teeth is often possible.

Question 4

What are the main benefits?

Accepted Answer

The primary benefit is avoiding the need for extensive and time-consuming bone grafting procedures in the upper jaw. They provide a fixed, stable solution with high success rates and often allow for immediate function.

Question 5

Who is an ideal candidate for zygomatic implants?

Accepted Answer

They are specifically designed for patients with severe to extreme bone loss in the upper jaw, often due to long-term tooth loss, trauma, or previous failed dental treatments. They are a solution for many who have been told they cannot have implants.

Question 6

Does this procedure require a specialist?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Zygomatic implant surgery is a complex procedure that should only be performed by highly experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons with specific training in this advanced technique.
