WHAT ARE ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS?
Traditional dental implants may not be a viable option for those struggling with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. This is where zygomatic implants are used. Zygomatic Dental Implants are a cutting-edge alternative designed specifically for patients with insufficient bone density. These implants are anchored directly into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), bypassing the need for bone grafting and offering a secure, lasting foundation for tooth replacement.

This can reduce the overall treatment time and decrease the complexity and discomfort associated with additional surgical procedures. Keep in mind, zygomatic implants can only be done for your upper jaw.

Bone Grafting vs Zygomatic Implants
Many people wonder if bone grafting is necessary for dental implants and the truth is, not always. Modern techniques such as All-on-4® and All-on-X Dental Implants make it possible to place dental implants, even in some instances of minor bone loss. However, when there is too much bone loss in the upper jaw, that’s a job for Zygomatic Implants.
Zygomatic implants are only available for the upper-jaw. In cases of bone loss in the lower jaw, a dental implant doctor may recommend bone grafting or other procedures first. However, some cases of bone loss can impact a person’s eligibility for dental implants.

People Also Ask About Zygomatic Dental Implants:
What are the disadvantages of zygomatic implants?
Zygomatic implants require a surgical procedure that must be performed by an experienced surgeon due to its complexity and the proximity to sensitive facial structures. At Nuvia, all we do is dental implants. Our dental implant providers have extensive experience with both standard dental implants and zygomatic implants.
Additionally, due to their invasive nature, patients may experience a longer initial recovery period with potential discomfort or swelling.
How long do zygomatic implants last?
Zygomatic implants are designed to last a lifetime. Proper dental implant aftercare, oral hygiene, and regular visits to the dentist can help to ensure the integrity of your implants.
How painful are zygomatic implants?
The procedure for placing zygomatic implants is performed under general anesthesia or sedation, which means patients get to sleep comfortably during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort can vary but is generally manageable with prescribed pain relievers and by following the instructions from your dental implant provider.
What is the success rate of zygomatic implants?
Zygomatic implants enjoy a high success rate. This success is attributed to the strong anchoring in the zygomatic bone, which provides excellent stability for the implants.
