For patients with significant upper-jaw bone loss, conventional dental implants may not be feasible without extensive bone grafting. Zygomatic implants offer a powerful solution by anchoring into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a stable foundation for fixed teeth when other implants aren’t possible.
At YOUR DENTIST Advanced Dental & Maxillo-Facial Centre, Vijayawada, we specialize in placing zygomatic implants to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence in patients who have been rejected for conventional implants elsewhere.
Zygomatic implants are long dental implants placed into the zygomatic bone, which is located in the cheek area. Unlike traditional implants that anchor into the jawbone, zygomatic implants utilize the dense zygomatic bone, offering a viable alternative for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
Zygomatic implants provide a unique solution for patients with severe bone loss, enabling them to receive fixed teeth without the need for extensive bone grafting procedures. They also help avoid complications related to sinus lifts, making them a more streamlined treatment option.
✔ Avoids Sinus Lift Surgery:
Zygomatic implants bypass the sinus, reducing the need for sinus lift procedures.
✔ No Bone Grafting in Most Cases:
Zygomatic implants make it possible to restore a functional smile even in patients with significant bone resorption.
✔ Stabilizes Full-Arch Restorations:
These implants offer excellent support for full-arch restorations, ensuring stability and comfort for the patient.
✔ Reduced Treatment Time:
With zygomatic implants, patients can achieve fixed teeth faster than with traditional methods that require bone grafting.

The procedure for zygomatic implants is as follows:
1️⃣ Clinical Evaluation
A thorough assessment by the implant team, including a review of the patient’s medical history and oral health.
2️⃣ CBCT 3D Imaging
A 3D CBCT scan is taken to evaluate the bone structure, sinus anatomy, and suitability for zygomatic implant placement.
3️⃣ Digital Implant Planning
Precise planning of implant placement using advanced digital tools to determine the optimal angulation and position for the implants.
4️⃣ Implant Placement Surgery
Zygomatic implants are placed into the zygomatic bone using advanced surgical techniques. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia.
5️⃣ Temporary Teeth Placement
In many cases, patients are provided with temporary fixed teeth shortly after surgery to restore function during the healing phase.
6️⃣ Final Prosthetic Restoration
Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, permanent zirconia or ceramic teeth are placed, completing the restoration.
