Zygomatic Implants Explained By Dr. Peter Doherty
What Are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic Implants Explained By Dr. Peter Doherty
Zygomatic implants are a revolutionary dental solution that provides effective treatment for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
This innovative technique bypasses the need for extensive bone grafting procedures, making it a viable option for patients who have inadequate bone volume in their upper jaw.
It's important to note that the suitability of zygomatic implants is determined on a case-by-case basis.
A thorough evaluation and consultation with a qualified dental professional are essential to determine if zygomatic implants are the appropriate solution for your specific needs.

Who Are Zygomatic Implants Suitable For?
If you have previously been told that you have insufficient bone in the upper jaw for dental implants then zygomatic implants are the solution for you.
Zygomatic implants are a type of dental implant specifically designed for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in their maxilla (upper jaw).
Unlike traditional dental implants that are placed directly into the jawbone, zygomatic implants anchor into the dense cheekbone, known as the zygoma.

Indications That You Might Be Suitable
Zygomatic implants are primarily recommended for individuals who:
- Have severe bone loss in the upper jaw, making traditional dental implants challenging or impossible.
- Have failed previous attempts at dental implant placement due to inadequate bone volume.
- Have a history of unsuccessful bone grafting procedures.
- Wish to avoid or minimize the need for bone grafting surgeries and want a more efficient solution.

The Success Rate Of Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants have shown a high success rate in clinical studies. Research indicates that zygomatic implants have a success rate of over 95% after five years.
Long-term studies have demonstrated stable outcomes, with the implants maintaining their functionality and providing excellent results for patients with severe bone loss.

Avoidance Of Bone Grafting

Avoidance Of Bone Grafting
Zygomatic implants eliminate the need for bone grafting, which is often required to build up the bone volume in the upper jaw.
Bone grafting procedures can be time-consuming, involve multiple surgeries, and require lengthy healing periods.
Zygomatic implants provide a more efficient alternative by utilizing the existing zygoma bone, saving patients from additional surgeries and reducing overall treatment time.
Immediate Functionality
)
Immediate Functionality
With zygomatic implants, patients can enjoy immediate functionality.
Traditional dental implants typically require a healing period of several months before the prosthetic teeth can be attached.
Zygomatic implants, on the other hand, provide stability and support right from the start, allowing patients to have functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth soon after the procedure.
Reliable Solution For Severe Bone Loss
)
Reliable Solution For Severe Bone Loss
Zygomatic implants offer a reliable solution for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, a condition that would otherwise make traditional implants unfeasible.
By anchoring directly into the zygomatic bone, which is denser and stronger than the maxillary bone, zygomatic implants provide exceptional stability and long-term success rates.
Improved Quality Of Life
)
Improved Quality Of Life
Dental problems resulting from severe bone loss can significantly impact a person's quality of life.
Zygomatic implants address these issues by providing a reliable and durable solution. They restore proper oral function, including chewing and speaking abilities, while also enhancing the appearance of your smile.
With zygomatic implants, individuals can regain their confidence and enjoy a better overall quality of life.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
)
Minimally Invasive Procedure
Although zygomatic implants may sound complex, the procedure itself is minimally invasive.
It is performed under local anaesthesia and sedation, and involves precise placement of the implants into the zygomatic bone through a small incision in the gum.
The minimally invasive nature of the procedure reduces post-operative discomfort and promotes faster healing.
In Summary

In Summary
In conclusion, zygomatic implants provide a reliable and efficient treatment option for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
By avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting, providing immediate functionality, and delivering long-term success, zygomatic implants significantly improve the quality of life for patients with specific dental challenges – such as long term denture wearers.
