In patients with insufficient jawbone, zygomatic implants are placed into the cheekbone. This method enables prosthetic and implant treatments, providing advanced technological solutions for a strong, long-lasting, and aesthetic smile.

What is a Zygomatic Implant?

A zygomatic implant is a specialized type of implant that is longer than conventional implants and is placed into the cheekbone instead of the upper jawbone. This method allows implant treatment without the need for a bone graft when there is jawbone resorption or deficiency.

When is a Zygomatic Implant Preferred?

  • Patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw
  • Individuals previously considered unsuitable for implants
  • Those who prefer to avoid bone graft or sinus lift procedures
  • Patients who have lost all their teeth and desire fixed prosthetics
  • Individuals who have used dentures for a long time and have developed bone loss
