Zygoma implant is a perfect alternative when there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw for ordinary implants. They provide immense support for the implant bridgework for severely resorbed jawbone with minimal surgical trauma and optimal oral function. Zygomatic dental implant is also an impeccable alternative for those intending to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures. This upper jaw dental implant treatment is also referred to as graft-less technique. Though this method of implant can be technically challenging it provides an excellent solution for patients who cannot get traditional dental implants in the upper jaw. No wonder they are termed as advanced dental implants.

 

A computed tomography helps to precisely assess the amount of bone available in the upper jaw and also determine the position and angulation of the implant. If there is existing teeth, they are removed and the implants are anchored in the upper jaw bone. Teeth impression for the hybrid bridge is taken and sent to the lab technician. Once they are fabricated in the lab they are securely placed on top of the implants.
