What makes zygomatic implants different?

Zygomatic implants are longer implants that anchor into the cheekbone rather than relying only on upper-jaw bone. They are typically considered for complex upper-jaw cases with significant bone loss.

Are zygomatic implants safe?

Safety depends on careful diagnostics, case selection, surgical planning, and proper follow-up. Because this is an advanced procedure, consultation and imaging are essential before treatment is considered.

Can zygomatic implants be used for both jaws?

They are most often discussed for the upper jaw. They are not generally presented as a standard solution for lower-jaw implant treatment.

Do zygomatic implants replace the need for a consultation?
