In mouths where excessive bone resorption is present, traditional methods of placing dental implants may be insufficient. However, in this case, implant application becomes possible by utilizing a special bone called zygoma bone. Zygoma implants are used to fix dental implants by taking support from this special bone, which is located deeper than the facial bones.
Before applying zygoma implants, radiographic examinations and systemic examinations are performed to assess the patient’s condition. This is important for the successful planning of implant surgery.
Zygoma implants are a special surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. These implants are placed in a specific location by a surgeon who assesses the patient’s existing bone structure. Zygoma implants offer an effective option for patients who have experienced excessive bone loss in the mouth to regain a sturdy and aesthetic smile.
The use of zygoma implants offers a tailor-made solution for patients who want to regain their oral health and smile aesthetics.
