Zygomatic Implants ExplainedFor Patients With Severe Bone Loss
- Zygomatic implants are used when patients have too little upper jaw bone for conventional implants - and don't want (or can't have) extensive bone grafting.
They anchor in the cheekbone instead of the jawbone.
The Anatomy: Why the Cheekbone?
The zygomatic bone (cheekbone) is a dense cortical bone structure that remains stable even when the upper jaw (maxilla) has severely resorbed. Zygomatic implants pass through the sinus and engage the zygomatic bone at 30–50mm length - providing excellent primary stability even without alveolar bone support.
Who Needs Zygomatic Implants?
Patients with severe upper jaw bone loss (Type IV or V atrophy on the Cawood-Howell scale). Patients who have worn upper dentures for many years (accelerates bone loss). Patients previously told they need extensive bone grafting (3+ procedures) before conventional implants can be placed. Patients with failed conventional implants due to insufficient bone.
The Clinical Evidence
5-year success outcomes: 95–98.3% (Aparicio et al., Chrcanovic & Abreu systematic reviews). Patient satisfaction: >94% long-term. Dr. Sethi has placed 200+ zygomatic implants at Stunning Dentistry. All cases: CBCT-planned with digital surgical guide for 0.5–1mm positioning accuracy.
