Zygomatic Implants: The Revolutionary Solution for Severe Upper Jaw Bone Loss

Told bone grafting isn't possible for your upper jaw? Zygomatic implants anchor directly into dense cheekbones, providing permanent teeth in 24 hours.

Bypassing Upper Jaw Bone Loss with Zygomatic Surgery

For patients suffering from extreme maxillary (upper jaw) bone resorption—often due to decades of denture wear or severe periodontitis—conventional dental implants are impossible without years of bone grafting. Zygomatic Implants provide a ground-breaking alternative.

1. Anchoring into the Cheekbone (Zygoma)

Zygomatic implants are extra-long titanium posts (30mm to 55mm) designed to anchor directly into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). The cheekbone maintains high density throughout life and never resorbs like jawbone tissue.

2. Immediate Teeth Loading in 24 Hours

Because zygomatic bone offers immediate primary stability, oral surgeons can attach a rigid full-arch bridge within 24 hours of surgery, giving patients immediate function and a new smile without waiting months for bone graft healing.
