Zygomatic Implants
What are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are extra-long dental implants anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) instead of the upper jawbone. They bypass the need for bone grafting by securing directly into dense facial bones. These implants are typically used in cases where the upper jawbone is severely resorbed and cannot support traditional implants.
This advanced technique offers hope to patients who were once told they are not suitable for implants due to severe bone loss.
