Many people with a thin upper jaw hear that they do not have enough bone for implants. Some are told they need a bone graft first, and others have already had a graft or an implant that did not work out.
A zygomatic dental implant in Brooklyn, NY, is a long titanium implant. Instead of sitting in a thin upper jaw, it reaches past it and anchors in the cheekbone, also called the zygomatic bone. Dentists use these implants mostly for severe upper jaw bone loss.
Once the implants heal, they hold a set of fixed teeth in place. The cheekbone may provide enough support in some cases, so some patients may not need a bone graft, and our dentist decides this after your scan.
They may help with these problems:
These implants do not fit every case, and our dentist will tell you if another option suits you better.
These situations may lead your dentist to consider zygomatic implants, and our dentist decides after an exam and a scan.
Sinus problems, smoking, and diabetes that are not under control can make treatment harder. If you still have enough bone, regular implants may fit you better.
Local anesthesia numbs the area during the zygomatic arch implant surgery. If you feel nervous, you can ask about sedation, and we will explain the choices we offer.
Like any surgery, zygomatic implant surgery has risks. The most common problem is sinusitis, which is swelling or infection in the sinus. Other risks include implant failure and irritation of the gum tissue. We will review all of them with you before you decide.
Zygomatic implants | Bone graft with regular implants | Regular upper denture | |
Where it anchors | The cheekbone, past the thin upper jaw | The upper jaw, after a graft rebuilds bone | No implant. The denture rests on the gums |
Bone graft | May not be needed in some cases. The dentist decides. | Yes, and healing time is usually added | Not needed |
Surgery | Yes, a larger procedure | Yes, sometimes more than one | No surgery |
Typical time | The dentist sets the plan | Usually longer, because the graft must heal first | Usually shortest, because no surgery is needed |
Main risks | Sinusitis, implant failure, gum irritation | Graft failure, infection, implant failure | Sore spots, a loose fit, and possible bone loss over time |
Stability for chewing | Fixed teeth are attached to the implants | Fixed or removable, depending on the plan | Removable and may shift |
The best choice depends on your bone, your sinuses, your health, and your budget.
