Zygoma

Zygoma – An Alternative To Bone Grafting

If you have ever been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants then our revolutionary zygoma implants may be the solution for you.

Depending on the outcome of your diagnostic x-rays, extra long dental implants may be offered in cases where the amount of bone available in the upper jaw is insufficient. These implants are called Zygomatic implants and are anchored into the cheek bone, providing an alternative to grafting procedures in the upper jaw.

At Dental 359 this procedure to insert Zygomatic dental implants is performed under a general anaesthetic and placed by a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon. As with the All-on-4® technique, you have new teeth within three days of surgery.

Quad Zygoma

In some cases the upper jaw may be very deficient in bone even in the anterior region. For these cases double zygoma implants may be inserted into both sides of the available cheek bone to support a full upper set of replacement teeth.

As with single zygoma this procedure is performed under general anaesthetic together with a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon. A full set of immediate teeth can be connected to the implants after 1-3 days.
