What are Zygomatic Implants

What are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are a special type of dental implant designed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike conventional implants, which are placed in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored into the zygoma (cheekbone)—a much stronger bone.

For international patients who have been told they don’t have enough bone for traditional implants, zygomatic implants provide a reliable alternative without the need for bone grafting or sinus lift surgery.

The Zygomatic Implant Process

Consultation & 3D Planning

Detailed examination and CBCT 3D scan
Digital planning to determine implant angles and placement

Surgical Placement

Implants placed into the zygomatic bone under general anesthesia or sedation
Provides high stability even in advanced bone loss cases

Temporary Teeth

In many cases, temporary fixed teeth are provided shortly after surgery
Patients can smile and eat soft foods during healing

Final Prosthesis

After 3–4 months of healing, permanent zirconia or porcelain prosthesis is fitted
Final result: natural-looking, durable, and functional smile
