How Zygomatic Implants Save Smiles After Years Of Bone Loss

Have you lost your teeth, and you have been told you don’t have enough jawbone for implants?  This is no longer an issue. Virtus Dental Center offers zygomatic implants, a revolutionary solution that is changing the lives of patients who have lost hope for a new smile.

In this article, you will find out how this advanced technology will restore your smile and self-esteem, even after years of bone loss. 

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

When patients are dealing with severe loss of the maxillary bone, traditional dental implants are no longer an option. In these cases, zygomatic implants represent a revolutionary solution that has transformed the lives of hundreds of patients from all over the world. 

Zygomatic implants are advanced implants that will be placed in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), instead of the maxillary bone. This innovative technique offers amazing stability even in the most complex cases of bone loss. 

Main characteristics:

  • They are longer than traditional implants (up to 52.5mm)
  • They will be placed in the zygomatic bone, which is much stronger and stable
  • Doesnt require bone grafting
  • Same-say teeth with immediate loading implantology

Advantages Of Zygomatic Implants

High Stability: The zygomatic bone is much stronger and denser than the maxillary bone, offering a superior base for implants.

Immediate Loading: The temporary prosthesis will be placed within 24-72 hours, allowing you to eat and smile as normal.
