Zygomatic Implants – A Teeth Replacement Solution For Those With The Most Severe Form Of Bone Loss

If you’ve been told you are not a candidate for conventional dental implants or that dentures are your only option, zygomatic implants were designed with you in mind. Zygomatic implants, or rescue implants, are an alternative to traditional dental implants and bone grafting when there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw.

A Bone Grafting Alternative

Patients with moderate, advanced, or even extreme resorption in the upper jaw and insufficient bone structure to support dental implants would benefit from zygomatic implants. The procedure does not involve bone grafting (or the lengthy six-month healing period), so implants can be restored immediately.

Typically, the process requires two zygomatic implants in combination with two to four traditional implants. The traditional implants are placed in the anterior region, toward the front of the jaw, where the upper front teeth were previously located. If you have teeth that need to be extracted before zygomatic implant placement, they can be removed during this single surgery.
