Zygomatic
implants
Zygomatic implants are an advanced implant technique designed for patients with extreme atrophy of the maxillary bone. Instead of the maxilla, the implants are anchored in the strong zygomatic (cheek) bone, which eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting.
Planning treatment with zygomatic implants is always preceded by detailed diagnostic imaging and an analysis of the anatomical conditions. The experience of the surgical team and precise planning of the entire procedure based on digital technologies are of key importance.
- No need for bone grafting
- Immediate loading — teeth in one day
- The ideal solution in cases of extreme bone atrophy
- High predictability and durability of treatment
- Shorter total rehabilitation time
Who is it for?
Zygomatic implants are an ideal solution for patients in whom traditional implant placement is impossible due to advanced atrophy of the maxillary bone. This often concerns people who have worn removable dentures for a long time or who have had unsuccessful bone augmentation attempts.
How the procedure works
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or deep sedation. Thanks to precise 3D planning (CBCT) and navigation, the procedure usually takes 2–3 hours.
Results
The patient receives fixed temporary teeth on the day of the procedure. After a healing period (3–6 months) the final prosthetic restoration is made. Zygomatic implants show high success rates in long-term studies.
