Zygomatic Implants in India: Solution for Severe Bone Loss (2025 Guide)

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

For patients with severe upper jaw bone loss, traditional dental implants are often not possible. Enter Zygomatic implants—a revolutionary solution that anchors into the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the upper jaw.

Why Consider Zygomatic Implants?

Traditional implants require adequate bone. If you've been told you need extensive bone grafting—which adds 6-12 months of healing—zygomatic implants offer a faster alternative.

Benefits:

• No bone grafting required in most cases
• Immediate loading possible (teeth same day)
• High success rates (95-98%)
• Permanent solution for edentulous patients

Who Needs Zygomatic Implants?

• Patients with severe maxillary bone atrophy
• Failed previous implants due to bone loss
• Long-term denture wearers with bone resorption
• Patients who cannot undergo bone grafting

The Procedure Explained

1. CBCT 3D Planning: Detailed imaging of skull and cheekbone
2. Surgical Placement: 2-4 zygomatic implants placed under general anesthesia
3. Immediate Teeth: Temporary fixed prosthesis attached same day
4. Healing: 4-6 months for full osseointegration
5. Final Prosthesis: Permanent zirconia bridge fitted
