Zygoma Implants

General Information About Zygoma Implants At Dr. Pal’s Dental Hospital, we offer Zygoma Implants, a revolutionary solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who are not candidates for traditional dental implants. Unlike conventional implants that anchor in the jawbone, zygoma implants are longer and are anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma bone), providing a strong and stable foundation for fixed teeth without requiring bone grafting.

Facts About Zygoma Implants

  • Zygoma implants are an ideal solution for patients with severe maxillary bone loss.
  • They eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures, reducing treatment time.
  • The procedure provides immediate stability for fixed teeth replacement.
  • Made of high-grade titanium, they offer long-term durability and biocompatibility.
  • The success rate of zygoma implants is very high compared to traditional alternatives.

Before the Procedure:

  • A detailed clinical evaluation, CBCT scans, and digital imaging are performed to assess bone structure and suitability.
  • The dentist discusses the treatment plan, expected outcomes, and alternatives.
  • Patients are advised to maintain good oral hygiene and follow pre-operative instructions.
  • Local or general anesthesia options are discussed to ensure a comfortable experience.

Procedure Steps:

  1. Anesthesia Administration: Local or general anesthesia is given for a pain-free procedure.
  2. Incision and Access: Small incisions are made in the gum to expose the zygomatic bone.
  3. Implant Placement: The longer zygoma implants are carefully positioned and secured into the cheekbone.
  4. Attachment of Temporary Prosthesis: In many cases, a temporary fixed prosthesis is placed the same day.
  5. Healing and Integration: Over time, the implant integrates with the bone for long-term stability.
  6. Final Prosthesis Placement: After the healing period, a permanent prosthetic restoration is attached.

Post-Treatment Care:

  • Follow prescribed medications to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
  • Eat a soft diet for the initial healing phase and avoid excessive pressure on implants.
  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent complications.
  • Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor implant health.
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can affect the healing process.
