One of the major limitations in implant dentistry in the past was the inability to place dental implants in patients with inadequate jawbone support. Because of this, many patients who could have benefited from dental implants had to depend on uncomfortable removable dentures. With the advancement of Zygomatic Implants, even patients with severe bone loss can now receive fixed teeth solutions. In addition, Zygomatic Implants provide Immediate Loading, allowing patients to regain fixed teeth within just a few days.
Zygomatic implants are specially designed longer dental implants that anchor into the dense cheekbone, known as the zygomatic bone.
These implants serve as an alternative to complicated bone grafting procedures, enabling treatment to be completed in a single surgical stage in many cases.
Zygomatic implant treatment is considered one of the most advanced procedures in implant dentistry. At Truly Dental, a dedicated team of experienced Zygoma implant specialists and lab technicians work together to ensure every patient experiences a comfortable procedure and receives stable fixed teeth — because everyone deserves to smile confidently.
Zygomatic implants are recommended for patients who do not have enough bone in the upper jaw due to aging, injury, tumor surgery, or severe bone shrinkage. These implants are fixed into the zygomatic bone, commonly called the cheekbone.
Zygomatic implants should only be placed by skilled and experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons or trained implantologists. When performed with proper planning and advanced technology, the risks are minimal and success rates are high. Since this is one of the more complex procedures in implant dentistry, mild swelling after surgery is common, but it usually reduces within a week.
Nobel Biocare is considered one of the leading and most trusted manufacturers of zygomatic implants. Other well-known brands such as Straumann have also introduced zygomatic implant systems. Additional reliable brands include Noris and Simpladent.
Zygomatic implants are generally recommended only in complex cases where traditional implants are not suitable. The cost of a single zygomatic implant may range from ₹50,000 to ₹90,000. However, they are usually used as part of a complete upper jaw rehabilitation involving regular implants, zygomatic implants, and a fixed prosthesis. The total treatment cost can range between ₹3 lakh and ₹7 lakh per jaw.
The Quad Zygoma technique involves placing four zygomatic implants in patients with extreme upper jaw bone loss as an alternative to bone grafting procedures. It may be used as the primary treatment option or as a corrective solution for failed implants and advanced bone deterioration. This highly specialized procedure requires advanced surgical expertise and careful planning.
Zygomatic implants are longer than standard dental implants and are anchored into the strong cheekbone for support.
They are commonly used as a substitute for extensive bone grafting surgeries, allowing implant treatment to be completed in a simpler and more efficient manner.
