Zygomatic Implants
At Balat Aesthetic, we specialize in zygomatic implants, an advanced solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. This technique allows for immediate and long-lasting full-arch restoration without the need for bone grafting.
What are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are longer titanium implants anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the jawbone. They are commonly performed to:
- Restore function and aesthetics in patients with severe jawbone loss.
- Eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures.
- Support full-arch prosthetics for a natural smile.
- Provide a fixed and stable alternative to traditional dentures.
The Zygomatic Implant Procedure
- Consultation & Planning: A detailed evaluation with 3D imaging to assess bone structure.
- Implant Placement: The zygomatic implants are strategically placed into the cheekbone under general anesthesia.
- Temporary Teeth: Patients receive temporary prosthetic teeth the same day.
- Final Restoration: After 3-6 months of healing, permanent teeth are placed.
