Zygomatic Implants in Hyderabad

Advanced Implant Solution for Severe Upper Jaw Bone Loss

Zygomatic implants are specialized dental implants designed for patients who have severe bone loss in the upper jaw and are not suitable candidates for conventional implants.

At VR Dental Maxillofacial Surgery & Implant Clinic, zygomatic implants are planned and placed by experienced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, offering patients a fixed-teeth solution even in complex, previously rejected cases.

When Are Zygomatic Implants Needed?

Zygomatic implants are recommended when patients:

  • Have severe upper jaw bone loss

  • Were told bone grafting is mandatory or not possible

  • Have failed implants or long-term denture use

  • Want fixed teeth without extensive grafting

  • Are medically suitable but lack sufficient maxillary bone

Instead of anchoring in the jawbone, zygomatic implants engage the zygoma (cheekbone), which is dense and stable.

How Zygomatic Implants Work

Zygomatic implants are longer than conventional implants and are placed at an angle to anchor into the cheekbone.

Key advantages:

  • No need for sinus lift or large bone grafts

  • Immediate or early fixed teeth in many cases

  • Strong anchorage even in advanced bone loss

  • Reduced treatment time compared to graft-based approaches

Planning & Safety Protocol

Zygomatic implant placement requires advanced surgical planning.

Our protocol includes:

  • High-resolution CBCT imaging

  • 3D surgical planning to avoid sinuses and vital structures

  • Specialist anesthesia and sterile surgical setup

  • Prosthetic planning before surgery

This ensures safety, precision, and predictable outcomes.

Zygomatic Implants vs Traditional Bone Grafting

Zygomatic implants may be preferred because they:

  • Avoid multiple grafting surgeries

  • Reduce overall treatment stages

  • Offer fixed teeth sooner

  • Are suitable for complex and failed cases

However, they are not for everyone and must be carefully evaluated by a specialist.

Because zygomatic implants are part of advanced implant rehabilitation, overall dental implants cost varies based on surgical complexity and restorative design.

Who Performs Zygomatic Implant Surgery?

Zygomatic implants should only be placed by trained Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons with experience in advanced implantology.

At VR Dental, surgical and prosthetic planning are done together to ensure:

  • Correct implant angulation

  • Proper bite force distribution

  • Long-term prosthetic success

Life After Zygomatic Implants

With proper planning and care, patients experience:

  • Fixed upper teeth with strong stability

  • Improved chewing and speech

  • Elimination of loose dentures

  • Restored facial support

Regular follow-up and hygiene care are essential for longevity.
