WHAT ARE ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS?
Zygomatic implants, also known as Zygoma implants, are an alternative to bone grafting techniques for the upper jaw and offer a viable option for individuals who desire dental implants but are severely deficient in upper jaw bone. These implants are inserted into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) to support dentures, bridges, and upper jaw (maxillary) teeth, in contrast to traditional “root form” dental implants that are implanted into the jaws to replace teeth.
They pass transversely through the weak area of the upper jaw and attach to the bottom of the cheekbones via your sinuses.
Through better smile aesthetics and appearance, zygomatic implants help patients regain their confidence. They also guarantee a return to enjoying social events and interactions due to improved oral function (speech, eating, and swallowing) associated with fixed dental bridges (implant retained prosthetics).
