How Zygomatic Implants Differ from Traditional Implants

How Zygomatic Implants Differ from Traditional Implants

9 May Fri, 2025

Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry by providing patients with a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to missing teeth. However, for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, traditional implants may not be an option without undergoing bone grafting procedures. This is where Zygomatic Dental Implants come in—a groundbreaking alternative designed specifically for complex cases where conventional methods fall short.

Zygomatic implants are longer than traditional implants and are anchored in the zygoma, or cheekbone, instead of the maxilla (upper jawbone). The zygomatic bone is denser and provides a strong foundation for implant placement, even when the upper jawbone has deteriorated due to aging, disease, or long-term tooth loss.

The key difference between traditional and zygomatic implants lies in the anatomical area of placement. Traditional implants require sufficient bone in the jaw, and if that's not available, patients usually need bone grafting—a process that can add months to the treatment timeline. Zygomatic implants eliminate the need for bone grafts, allowing for faster rehabilitation and immediate loading in many cases.

Another major benefit is the ability to restore a full arch of teeth using just 2 to 4 zygomatic implants, sometimes in combination with regular implants placed in areas with sufficient bone. This hybrid approach creates a stable, permanent base for fixed prosthetics, enabling patients to regain function and aesthetics quickly.

Zygomatic implant surgery is a complex procedure and should only be performed by oral surgeons or implantologists with specialized training. At Milim International, our expert team uses 3D imaging and advanced planning tools to ensure precision and safety during surgery. Our focus is on delivering long-term success while minimizing patient discomfort and recovery time.

In conclusion, zygomatic implants offer a life-changing solution for patients who have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants. By anchoring the implants in the cheekbone, we bypass the need for extensive bone grafting and shorten the overall treatment process. If you’ve been struggling with severe upper jaw bone loss, zygomatic implants may be the key to reclaiming your smile and confidence.
