What is a zygomatic implant?
A zygomatic implant is a longer type of implant that uses support from the cheekbone and may be considered for some patients with advanced bone loss in the upper jaw. It involves a different and more complex surgical approach than a standard implant.
When might it be considered?
It may be discussed as an option when there is insufficient upper jaw bone for a conventional implant. It is not suitable for every case of bone loss; bone augmentation, different implant plans or prosthetic options may also be considered.
Assessment and planning
The anatomy is assessed through a general health history, oral examination and necessary three-dimensional imaging. The clinician explains potential benefits, surgical risks, follow-up and alternatives.
Healing and follow-up
The treatment plan, healing time and preparation of the prosthesis vary between people. Follow the clinician’s care instructions after surgery and contact the team for increased pain, swelling or other symptoms beyond what was expected.
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for everyone?
