Zygoma Implant Treatment – Innovative and Permanent Solution for Bone Loss

With zygoma implant treatment, even patients with advanced bone loss can regain fixed teeth. At Melsadent Tuzla, safe and effective solutions are offered through digital planning and expert surgical procedures.

Tooth loss significantly affects both aesthetics and functionality, impacting a person’s quality of life. However, in some cases, long-term toothlessness or severe bone resorption may make conventional implant treatments impossible. At this point, zygomatic implants provide a revolutionary solution, offering permanent, fixed, and aesthetic results even in cases of severe bone loss.

What Is a Zygoma Implant?

A zygoma implant is a specialized type of dental implant designed for patients with advanced bone loss in the upper jaw (maxilla). While conventional dental implants are placed directly into the jawbone, zygoma implants are anchored in the cheekbone (zygomatic bone). This bone is naturally dense and strong, providing excellent support even in cases of severe bone loss.

This technique often eliminates the need for bone grafts or sinus lift procedures, reducing treatment time, increasing patient comfort, and ensuring a high success rate with long-lasting results.

Who Is a Candidate for Zygoma Implants?

Zygoma implants are especially suitable for patients who:

– Have severe bone loss (atrophy) in the upper jaw
– Have been toothless for many years
– Are unsuitable for bone grafting or prefer to avoid additional surgery
– Have experienced failed results with conventional implants
– Cannot tolerate dentures or lack comfort with prosthetics

This treatment often succeeds where traditional implants are not possible, making zygoma implants an intelligent alternative rather than a last resort.

How Are Zygoma Implants Placed?

Zygoma implant placement requires advanced surgical expertise and modern technology. The procedure should be performed in a specialized dental clinic by experienced surgeons.

Treatment steps include:

1. Detailed Examination and Imaging
The jawbone structure and bone density are analyzed using 3D CBCT tomography. Implant placement is precisely planned based on this data.

2. Digital Planning and Simulation
Specialized software is used to determine implant angle, length, and position for optimal surgical success and aesthetic outcomes.

3. Surgical Procedure
Under local anesthesia, zygoma implants are anchored in the cheekbone. Sedation or general anesthesia can be used if necessary. The implants are placed directly into the strong zygomatic bone without additional interventions in the jawbone.

4. Temporary and Permanent Prosthesis
In many cases, a fixed temporary prosthesis can be placed shortly after implant surgery, allowing patients to regain aesthetics and function on the same day. Permanent prosthetics are typically applied 3–6 months later.

Advantages of Zygoma Implants

Zygoma implant treatment offers several benefits over traditional implants:

– No need for bone grafts or sinus lifts
– Shorter treatment time; fixed teeth often possible on the same day
– Long-lasting and durable due to dense zygomatic bone
– Excellent aesthetic results with stable, natural prosthetics
– Rapid restoration of speech, chewing, and smiling functions
– Effective alternative for patients with failed conventional implants

Post-Treatment Care for Zygoma Implants

Recovery after zygoma implant placement is generally quick, but certain precautions should be followed:

– Avoid hot foods and drinks for the first 48 hours
– Maintain oral hygiene using dentist-recommended rinses and gentle brushing
– Mild swelling and discomfort are normal; take prescribed medications regularly
– Avoid smoking and alcohol as they may slow healing
– Attend all follow-up appointments

At Melsadent, patients are regularly monitored post-treatment to ensure proper tissue integration, prosthetic comfort, and overall oral health.
