  • ‘Teeth in an hour’ Dental implants
  • Computer-based planning and Nobel-guide implant surgical technique
  • Specialized Zygoma Implant technique / Immediate prosthesis centre

A new technology was developed in Europe to do upper jaw dental implant treatments without using the hipbone graft. This ‘graft-less technique’, also called the ‘Zygoma technique’ (developed by Prof. Branemark & Nobel Biocare, Sweden) uses the cheekbone (Zygoma bone) to anchor the longer zygoma implants. This has the following advantages over conventional implant techniques:

  • A fixed row of teeth within 72 hours as opposed to up to 6 months
  • No need for hip or any bone graft (graft-less technique / Zero graft technique)
  • Significantly less discomfort for patient
  • Immediate ability to bite and chew crunchy and hard food stuff
  • Immediate confidence boost with great looking teeth!
Who can benefit from Zygoma implants?

Zygoma implants are appropriate for any person with missing or shaky teeth in their upper jaw, insufficient bone in the upper jaw to sustain regular implants, as well as those who are wearing complete dentures. They are appropriate for all age groups except children. In fact, a majority of our Zygoma implant patients have been young people between the ages of 17 and 40. The new artificial set of permanent teeth are fixed almost immediately (2-3 days) allowing them to eat normal food and smile confidently. The functional, aesthetic and psychological benefits of this procedure are tremendous.

What is Zygomatic Implant treatment?

Zygomatic implant treatment is evidence based surgical and prosthetic solution for the treatment for the atrophic maxilla, providing an alternative to grafting procedures.
Zygomatic implants are the long implants that are anchored in the Zygomatic bone when there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw to permit placement of conventional implants. These implants provide multi cortical anchorage permitting immediate loading of implants (Immediate provisional prosthesis) with cross arch stabilization.

When are Zygomatic implants used?

  • When there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw
  • When conventional implants have failed
  • Failed sinus lift and bone grafting procedures
  • To avoid bone grafting procedures and their associated complications
  • In patients who desires fixed set of teeth
  • Can be used in completely edentulous or partially edentulous patients
  • In maxillary resection cases due to tumour
  • In acquired or congenital defects
  • In syndromic patients

How are the Zygomatic Implants treatment done?

Prior to the treatment, Cbct of the patient is taken to aid the treatment planning and placement of implants. The procedure of pacing a Zygomatic Implant is similar to conventional implant placement but is performed under general anesthesia by an experienced Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. It is placed through the crestal aspect of resorbed posterior maxilla and either through Intra sinus / Extra sinus / Extended sinus approach, it is anchored into the strong cortex of the Zygoma bone.

Following implant placement , multiunit abutments are attached to the implants and a screw retained prosthesis is provided within 3 days.

How successful are these Zygoma implants?

Zygomatic implants have a long term success rate of more than 98 % from the International published literature. These implants have a proven track record worldwide.

What are patient’s benefits from Zygomatic Implants?

  • Short treatment time
