What Are Zygoma Implants?

Zygoma implants are specialized dental implants anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the upper jaw. They are designed for patients with severe bone loss, where conventional implants are not possible.

Who Can Benefit from Zygoma Implants?

  • Patients with advanced bone loss in the upper jaw

  • People who have failed bone grafts or sinus lifts

  • Patients seeking a fixed, full-arch restoration without extra surgeries
