Zygoma Implants vs Sinus Lift

Zygoma Implants vs Sinus Lift

12 March Thu, 2026

The comparison between zygoma implants vs sinus lift is one of the most important in advanced implant planning. A sinus lift is used to increase bone height in the posterior maxilla before conventional implants are placed, but it often requires healing time, graft stability, and an additional treatment stage. Zygomatic implants, by contrast, may allow clinicians to avoid sinus grafting in selected severe atrophy cases by anchoring directly into the zygomatic bone. Reviews describe zygomatic implants as a useful non-grafting strategy when major maxillary resorption makes standard implant support difficult.

At MilimInternational, Dr. Ali Direnç Ulaşan compares both options from a predictability perspective. The best choice depends on anatomy, healing tolerance, surgical risk, prosthetic goals, and long-term maintainability. Some patients are excellent sinus-lift candidates; others may reach a more stable fixed-teeth solution through zygomatic implants. The decision should always be case-specific—not trend-driven. (PMC)
