Why You May Need Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants are a specialized type of dental implant that can provide a solution for patients who are not candidates for traditional dental implants. If you’ve been told you need zygomatic implants, or if you’re exploring your options for tooth replacement, this guide will help you understand why these unique implants might be recommended for you.

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are longer than traditional dental implants and are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) rather than the upper jaw bone. This makes them an excellent option for patients with insufficient bone in the upper jaw to support conventional implants.

Reasons You May Need Zygomatic Implants

1. Severe Bone Loss in the Upper Jaw

  • Cause: Long-term tooth loss, periodontal disease, or wearing dentures for many years can lead to significant bone resorption in the upper jaw.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They bypass the area of bone loss by anchoring in the sturdy cheekbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.

2. Insufficient Bone for Traditional Implants

  • Cause: Some patients naturally have thin or soft bone in the upper jaw that can’t support traditional implants.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They offer an alternative that doesn’t rely on the quality or quantity of bone in the upper jaw.

3. Failed Previous Bone Grafts

  • Cause: If you’ve had unsuccessful bone grafting procedures in the past, you may not be a candidate for further grafting.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They eliminate the need for extensive bone grafting, offering a solution where traditional methods have failed.

4. Maxillary Sinus Issues

  • Cause: Large maxillary sinuses or previous sinus problems can complicate traditional implant placement.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They can often bypass sinus areas, reducing the need for sinus lift procedures.

5. Congenital Defects

  • Cause: Some genetic conditions, like ectodermal dysplasia, can result in underdeveloped jaw bones.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They provide a stable option for tooth replacement even when jaw development is incomplete.

6. Trauma or Cancer Resection

  • Cause: Accidents or surgical removal of tumors can result in significant loss of jaw bone.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They offer a reconstruction option that doesn’t rely on the remaining jaw bone.

7. Desire to Avoid Bone Grafting

  • Cause: Some patients prefer to avoid the additional surgery and healing time associated with bone grafting.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: They can often provide a quicker, single-surgery solution for full arch restoration.

8. Need for Immediate Loading

  • Cause: Patients who want or need teeth immediately may not be candidates for traditional implants with immediate loading.
  • Why Zygomatic Implants Help: The stability provided by anchoring in the cheekbone often allows for immediate placement of a temporary prosthesis.

Benefits of Choosing Zygomatic Implants

  1. Avoid Bone Grafting: Eliminates the need for extensive and time-consuming bone grafting procedures.
  2. Faster Treatment: Often allows for a quicker path to your new smile compared to traditional implants with bone grafting.
  3. High Success Rate: Zygomatic implants have shown excellent long-term success rates in clinical studies.
  4. Improved Quality of Life: Provides a stable, permanent solution for those who thought they weren’t candidates for implant-supported teeth.
  5. Aesthetic Results: Supports a full arch of teeth, restoring both function and appearance.

ZYgomatic Implant Information
Zygomatic implants, also known as zygoma implants or rescue implants, are a type of dental implant that can be used to treat patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.

They are longer and tilted at an angle into the cheekbone, or zygoma bone, instead of the jawbone, to provide a more stable foundation for the implant: 

Zygomatic implants are an alternative to traditional implants and bone grafting for patients who:
  • Don’t have enough bone in their upper jaw for traditional implants
  • Have been told they aren’t candidates for implants or bridges
  • Need significant grafting before implant placement
  • Have moderate, advanced, or extreme resorption in the upper jaw 
Benefits of zygomatic implants include:
  • Increased stability
  • Improved aesthetics
  • Reduced treatment time
  • Improved quality of life
  • Less invasive than alternatives
  • Stronger, more solid support
  • Higher eligibility rate
  • Fewer visits from start to finish
  • Higher success rate than grafts alone 

Recovery time after zygomatic implant placement is typically shorter than traditional implants, and patients can return to normal activities within a few days. However, the implants need time to heal and integrate with the bone, which usually takes several months. 

The most common complication associated with zygomatic implants is sinusitis, but appropriate pre-surgical diagnostics and evaluation of the sinus can help reduce or eliminate this complication. 

No Bone Grafting Required

  • Patients with upper jaw bone loss required bone grafts to maintain their dental implants in position prior to the introduction of zygomatic implants. Unfortunately, it used to take six to twelve months for bone grafts to heal before dental implants could be implanted.
  • However, in the case of zygomatic implants, bone grafting is not required (graft-less technique / zero graft technique), so the patient can have a new, beautiful smile as soon as the implantation surgery is completed.

No Need for Sinus Lifts

  • Some individuals may require a sinus lift operation prior to Implant placement techniques
  • if the upper jaw loses bone mass. Sinus lift surgery strengthens the bone between the mouth cavity and the sinus so that implants do not injure the sinus cavity.
  • Patients must then wait for many months for the area to heal before receiving their new teeth. Because zygomatic implants do not require a sinus lift procedure, the implant procedure is simplified and quick.

Enjoy New Teeth Right Away

  • Because zygomatic implants are guided straight into the cheekbone, they can be inserted immediately. These implants provide immediate biting ability when involving hard food. Having new teeth quickly can boost self-confidence, along with good-looking teeth and a smile. If a patient has zygomatic implants, they do not need to wait for healing!

Can Be Used in Conjunction with Traditional Implants

  • In addition to conventional implants, zygomatic implants can be used to replace teeth both in the upper and lower jaws.

High Success Rate

  • The success rate of zygomatic implants is higher than 97%, which is comparable to that of standard dental implants. It also involves less discomfort for patients.

KEY POINTS

  • Zygomatic implants are an evidence-based surgical and prosthetic solution for both two-stage and immediate loading protocols
  • Today, zygomatic implants are usually placed using an immediate loading protocol
  • The main indication for zygomatic implants is the severely resorbed edentulous maxilla, but they can also be used in partially edentulous situations
  • Indications for zygomatic implant insertion include: alternative for sinus augmentation, failed sinus augmentation, rehabilitation after tumor resection or trauma, failure of conventional implants, failure of previous bone grafts
  • The placement of zygomatic implants requires adequate training and surgical experience
