When upper jaw has lost a lot of bone, it is difficult to restore with implants by regular
techniques. In such patients, we can still replace teeth with implants that are placed into
cheek bone for better support. They are called Zygomatic Implants.
The cheekbones are generally denser than jaw bone, so teeth restored get better support and
those implants tend to last longer.
When to give zygomatic implants?
Severe bone loss in upper jaw jaw
Can also be used in cleft palate patient
Inability to do / Failure of conventional bone grafting or sinus lift procedures
Removal of part of upper jaw bone due to some tumor or infection.
Benefits of zygomatic implants
Natural looking teeth and gums
Long lasting
No need for advanced surgeries like grafting
Healing is faster
Good appearance, speech and self- esteem
Most of the cases, there is a solution to replace missing teeth with fixed teeth and our
team at SSCDS Dental Clinics works to provide these advanced solutions to patients at
minimal costs.
