All-on-4^® Zygomatic Implants

Zygomatic implants are designed to provide support for a full arch of teeth in cases where there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw to support traditional implant placement. The procedure involves anchoring the implant into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which provides a more secure foundation for the All-on-4^® dental implant.

Zygomatic dental implants are typically longer than traditional implants and are placed at a 45-degree angle in the jawbone to maximise support and stability and remove the need for bone grafts.

Zygomatic implants are specialised dental implants designed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. These implants provide a stable foundation for the attachment of dental prosthetics/bridges when traditional implants cannot be used due to inadequate bone structure. As with the All-on-4^® technique, new teeth can be usually connected to them within 1-2 days of the surgery. Depending on the outcome of your diagnostic x-rays, zygomatic dental implants places into the zygomatic bone may be offered where the amount of bone available in the upper jaw is insufficient. You may only require one zygomatic implant or as many as 4 zygomatic implants.

Zygomatic implants are an advanced solution designed for patients who have been told they don’t have enough bone in the upper jaw to support traditional dental implants. Rather than undergoing complex procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts, patients can opt for zygomatic implants as a less invasive and more immediate alternative. These longer implants are anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma), which provides excellent support even in cases of severe bone loss.

This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant bone resorption due to long-term tooth loss, trauma, or periodontal disease. Zygomatic implants offer enhanced stability and durability, making them a reliable foundation for fixed teeth in patients who would otherwise be ineligible for traditional implant procedures.

• Suitable for Severe Bone Loss: All-on-4^® Zygomatic implants are an excellent solution for patients with extensive bone loss in the upper jaw, eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures.
• Immediate Loading: In some cases, zygomatic implants can support immediate loading, allowing for faster placement of prosthetics after implant surgery. For patients with soft bone, immediate loading is generally not possible on zygomatic implants and is likely to occur up to 3 months post-surgery. Final bridge is fitted 12 months post-surgery when full osteointegration has occured.
• Enhanced Aesthetics and Function: Zygomatic implants provide improved aesthetics and function compared to removable dentures. They feel and function more like natural teeth, allowing for confident speech and a wider variety of foods to be enjoyed.
• Longevity: With proper care and oral hygiene, zygomatic implants are a long-lasting durable and reliable solution for patients.
• Quality of Life: Zygomatic implants may significantly enhance a patient's quality of life by restoring their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
