What is Zygomatic Dental Implants

Zygomatic dental implants are advanced dental solutions specifically designed for patients experiencing significant bone loss in the upper jaw, making conventional implants unsuitable. Unlike standard implants, zygomatic implants anchor securely into the cheekbone (zygoma), bypassing the need for extensive bone grafting.

In a typical zygomatic implant procedure, our experienced surgeons strategically position long titanium implants directly into the zygomatic bone, providing immediate stability and support. This technique allows patients who have previously been told they’re not suitable for implants to regain full dental function and a natural-looking smile.

Zygomatic implants require fewer visits and significantly reduce treatment time compared to traditional bone grafting methods, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking effective, immediate, and lasting results.

Zygomatic Dental Implants Procedure

The zygomatic implant procedure is an advanced surgical treatment typically completed in a single appointment lasting about 2–4 hours. It starts with a thorough consultation and detailed imaging (such as CT scans) to precisely plan implant placement.

During the procedure, implants are strategically anchored directly into the cheekbones (zygoma), providing immediate stability without the need for bone grafting. After placing the implants securely, temporary teeth are immediately attached, restoring function and aesthetics right away.

Following initial healing, permanent restorations are custom-crafted to precisely fit your bite and smile aesthetics. The result is a durable, stable, and aesthetically pleasing smile—without lengthy treatment periods or additional grafting surgeries.

Healing Process

After receiving zygomatic dental implants, most patients experience initial improvement within a few days and can typically resume normal daily activities shortly after the procedure. Because the treatment involves minor surgery, some rest and recovery time is beneficial.

It’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or slight discomfort around the cheek and gums for approximately 7–14 days. These symptoms gradually subside as the healing progresses.

You’ll notice immediate improvements in your smile and facial structure right after the procedure. There’s minimal downtime, and the implants provide excellent stability from day one.

Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist carefully, including maintaining gentle oral hygiene and dietary recommendations to ensure optimal healing and the best long-term results.

Zygomatic dental implant surgery is a well-established procedure, and most patients experience mild to moderate temporary side effects afterwards. It’s normal to have mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort around the cheeks and surgical area for the first few days, typically resolving within 7–14 days.

While noticeable swelling or minor bruising may occur, these are easily manageable with prescribed medication and rest. Serious discomfort or prolonged symptoms are very rare, and any temporary discomfort subsides significantly within the first week.

Patients are advised to:

  • Rest and limit strenuous activities during the first week

  • Maintain gentle oral hygiene to prevent irritation

  • Follow a soft-food diet for the initial recovery period

Attending all scheduled follow-up appointments and adhering to your dentist’s post-operative instructions will support quick and effective healing, ensuring your implants settle securely for long-term success.
