What are zygomatic implants?
Sky Dental Concept, Belgrade, Serbia
zygomatic implants
For patients who do not have enough bone in the upper jaw for standard dental implants, zygomatic implants provide an alternative anchorage. Instead of relying on the jawbone, they are placed in the cheekbone (zygoma), which offers strong and reliable support.
Because of this, they are often used in cases where conventional implant therapy would require bone grafting and multiple treatment stages.
This approach can restore fixed teeth and full chewing function with a shorter treatment time and more predictable results. An additional advantage is that the plan can be adapted to the patient’s anatomy and, in some cases, combined with standard implants to achieve optimal load distribution and long-term stability.
Advantages of zygomatic implants
Zygomatic implants are an advanced solution for patients with severe bone loss, as they allow for fast and stable placement of fixed teeth without the need for bone grafting. In addition to safety, their main advantages include:
-
01/
Faster treatment
Fixed teeth can often be achieved more quickly because additional procedures are avoided.
-
02/
Cost efficiency
Overall treatment cost can be lower since bone grafting, extra surgeries, and prolonged therapy are eliminated.
-
03/
No bone grafting required
Support comes from the cheekbone, so jawbone augmentation is usually unnecessary.
-
04/
High stability
Zygomatic dental implants provide a solid foundation even in complex cases.
-
05/
Natural aesthetics
The smile looks natural, with proper lip support and a balanced facial profile.
HOW IT WORKS
The zygomatic implant placement process
The treatment is carried out through clearly defined steps, from consultation to the final restoration, so each patient fully understands the phases and expectations. The focus is always on safety, stability, and comfort, supported by precise planning before any surgical phase.
-
1
Consultation and planning
We perform 3D diagnostics and digital imaging of the jaw to analyze the anatomy, sinus condition, soft tissues, and the quality of the cheekbone. A detailed digital treatment plan is created, and we assess whether you are a suitable candidate. Your medical history, habits, and expectations are also discussed to choose the safest protocol.
-
2
Preparation for the procedure
The patient is prepared both medically and psychologically. If necessary, extractions of unsalvageable teeth are planned. We explain the type of anesthesia and give clear instructions regarding diet and recovery before and after the procedure.
-
3
Placement of zygomatic implants
The implants are placed into the cheekbone region according to the digital plan, which defines their angle and depth. This precise and controlled procedure provides stability even in cases of advanced jawbone resorption. In this phase, zygoma implants may be included as part of the overall strategy.
-
4
Temporary fixed restoration
Shortly after surgery, you receive temporary fixed teeth, allowing you to speak and function normally while the tissues heal. Hygiene and dietary instructions help ensure smooth recovery.
-
5
Placement of the final prosthesis
After the stabilization period, the final restoration is fabricated. It combines aesthetics and function, ensuring a natural appearance, stable bite, and long-term durability, fully adapted to your facial features.
The zygomatic bone and the possibility of fractures
The zygomatic bone is the cheekbone structure, naturally strong and suitable as an implant anchor. A fracture refers to a previous injury that altered the continuity or shape of the bone. This does not automatically exclude treatment. Each case is assessed individually using 3D imaging, evaluation of healing, and identification of load-bearing zones. If the fracture is old and stable, implant placement is often possible by using the strongest parts of the structure while avoiding compromised areas. The goal is always to base the treatment on real anatomy rather than assumptions.
Who are zygomatic implants not recommended for?
Although zygomatic implants are a powerful solution, certain conditions require special consideration. Serious systemic diseases, active oral infections, or specific cheekbone anatomy may require postponement, preparation, or alternative treatment options. No decision is made without detailed diagnostics and 3D imaging. At Sky Dental Concept, patient safety is the priority, and treatment planning begins only when conditions are stable and a predictable outcome is possible.
Zygomatic implant cost
The cost depends on the complexity of the case, the number of implants, the condition of teeth and gums, the need for extractions, and the materials chosen for both temporary and permanent restorations. Therefore, the exact price is determined individually after clinical examination and 3D diagnostics. During consultation, you receive a clear treatment plan, an explanation of each phase, and a transparent quotation. This allows you to understand what is included in the price and why, with no hidden costs.
