For many years, dental implants have been the most common choice for the replacement of missing teeth. That is because they are cost-effective, offer great quality and are the perfect long-term solution for better oral health. Meanwhile, Zygomatic Implants are a new specialized dental implant solution. In Albania, Ersted Muço, graduated in Pisa, Italy, the founder of City Dental Clinic is one of the only one who can perform this kind of procedure. So, this is a great news for patients that don’t have enough bone density or bone height for what is known as a traditional dental implant.
Have you ever heard of a zygomatic implant? When you lose a tooth, then you need to replace it quickly with an implant. The longer you wait to replace the missing teeth the more are the chances to experience a bone loss in both jaws, this means that its volume is reduced and conventional implants are impossible to insert even with the help of additional procedures, such as the addition of a bone professional. An alternative to conventional implants is the cheekbones.
There are special implants which have a height of 35 to 55 mm, 3-4 times more than any other conventional implants which enter the alveolar bone, and are attached to a sinus cross in the cheekbones. These are recommended for patients with severe atrophy of the jaw bone, which does not allow the insertion of conventional dental implants or other prosthetic operations.
Zygomatic implants are used to replace the teeth of the upper jaw. They can be used to replace all missing teeth, or one side. In addition, zygomatic implants are an ideal choice for patients who do not want extensive bone remodeling in the upper jaw. Zygomatic implants can also be used in conjunction with conventional dental implants to restore the upper teeth.
A Zygomatic Implant is an additional length dental implant which has an anchor to your cheekbone. You might be recommended to place zygomatic implants if your bone tissue or mass is not dispensing a sufficient amount of strong foundation for your traditional dental implants. This is a phenomenon that happens commonly to older patients who have worn snap-in dentures for an extremely long time and who also might have lost some jawbone mass and despite that they still want a dental implant fitting.
Essentially, dental zygomatic implants are appropriate for dental patients who have lost one or even more teeth from damage, disease and / or decay and as a result want to replace the damaged teeth with a natural looking dental implant.
If it is better for you to avoid a more traditional method in order to resolve a low bone dentistry then your dentist might make a recommendation for a zygomatic implant as a more suitable choice for you. A procedure similar to a bone grafting where a bone graft is taken from somewhere else in order to provide support, might require up to six months of a recovery period of time and also some multiple surgical procedures. A Zygomatic Implant Treatment gives your dentist the opportunity to avoid this thing with the achievement of almost identical results with following just one procedure.
The first step of all dental implant treatments is a thorough and robust inspection of your mouth and teeth in order to make an evaluation in regard to what kind of treatment is most suitable for your personal needs. At your primary consultation in the City Dental Clinic, your dentist will refer to your dental hygiene and dental history. After that, he or she is going to have a closer look and inspection at the affected areas of your teeth that you want to treat.
The next step is to make some photos, stone plaster models of your teeth as well as a three-dimensional X-ray of them. This is a demanded step, in order to determine in an accurate way, the implant placement and length. The location of the dental implants is organized in a virtual manner on the computer. The position of the latterly designed teeth, which are visible in a 3D-image, works as an orientation aid.
If your dentists distinguish the zygomatic implants as the most appropriate option for you, then he or she will book an appointment for you in order to revisit the dental clinic. Your dentist will inform you of the procedure that takes place during the treatment – what you should expect and what you should do before and after the procedure.
On the day of your zygomatic implant treatment, after you arrive at the City Dental Clinic, your dental surgeon will affirm your good dental health. More likely you will receive some sedation in order to make sure that you will not experience any pain during the procedure.
The treatment procedure works by regulating the replacement bridge using four dental implants. The zygomatic dental implants are longer in length than a normal one, so as a result it can be anchored to the cheekbone. After we place the zygomatic implants, then the implant which is positioning it is going to be transferred onto a stone plaster model with a personification.
After that, our dental technicians will construct your dental bridge, which might be screwed onto a new dental implant. As a consequence of the very solid bone tissue of the zygomatic bone, the dental implant and the restoration might commonly be used directly after the surgery with some soft food.
Concluding, when the zygomatic implant treatment is accomplished by the implantology specialist, then you will be requested to wait for an hour in recovery so that we could be sure that you are in the right condition before you leave us. The majority of dental zygomatic implant procedures might be completed on the same day.

In most situations, the zygomatic implants are not in need of a bone graft. In the majority of cases, the course of action is undertaken so your professional dentist does not need to take the responsibility for a bone graft. This might happen for the reason that the patient might have underlying some medical conditions which do not make him fitted for a bone graft, or it might clearly be that the patient does not have a desire to undertake any additional surgical procedures which are on some occasions required in bone grafting.
Dental implants are the best solution for replenishing lost teeth. For the last forty years or so, dental implants have been a safe, proven and very reliable solution for replacing a missing tooth.
Zygomatic Implants are the most appropriate decision for patients who have low jawbone density or bone loss in their upper jaw. Moreover, it is suitable for those who do not want to undertake a substantial bone graft surgery. This kind of implant dentistry required anchoring the dental implant bridge to the zygomatic bone as a different solution. If a patient has worn a removable denture for many years, then he or she might have experienced some bone loss over the past years and as continuity, there might not be sufficient bone mass for a traditional dental implant surgery.
If you are a patient at our clinic, then you will be sedated by our professionals in order to ensure that you will not experience any pain through the procedure. It is a common thing that some patients might feel a minor discomfort or swelling when having a zygomatic implant procedure.
The answer is, yes! It is a high rate of success for the zygomatic implants as well as it is a safe procedure, too.
If a patient does not have sufficient bone mass or even a strong jawline then a bone grafting is used in order to graft a segment of bone and add extra mass and stability for the new implants to be implanted upon. A zygomatic implant does not stand in need of bone grafting as if the jawbone is found lacking. Instead of that, the zygomatic implant might be used in order to anchor the implants to your cheekbone. In this case, the patient does not need to undertake various surgeries, and at the same time many people can also complete the installation of their zygomatic implants, on the same day.
On every occasion that you undergo a surgery, you want to feel assured that you have the best surgeon for the job. This happens the same in the field of dentistry.
