Zygoma Implant in Bursa Nilüfer

Zygoma Implant in Bursa Nilüfer (Cheekbone Implant)

In our clinical practice, zygomatic implant (cheekbone implant) procedures are advanced jaw surgery procedures that we apply in patients whose upper jaw bone (maxilla) has been resorbed to such an extent that standard dental implants cannot be placed (maxillary atrophy), by directly taking support from the cheekbone (os zygomaticum) without the need for bone grafting surgeries.

Our aim is to relieve our patients who have completely lost bone volume in the upper jaw due to long-term tooth loss or the use of removable dentures (palate) from months of difficult bone grafting surgeries, and to give them fixed and strong teeth on the same day by using the exceptional strength of the cheekbone.

In Which Clinical Conditions Do We Apply It?

• In cases where standard implant treatment cannot be performed due to extreme bone loss in the upper jawbone (and where in the past it was said, "you can no longer have implants"),

• In patients who have used removable palatal dentures for many years and who complain about irritation/movement of these dentures and want to switch to the comfort of fixed teeth,

• In individuals with a history of sinus lifting (sinus elevation) or bone grafting surgeries that were previously performed but ended unsuccessfully,

• In patients who have lost part of the upper jawbone anatomically due to cyst or tumor surgeries or severe trauma.

What Are the Clinical Advantages?

• Fixed Teeth on the Same Day (Immediate Loading): The cheekbone (zygoma), by its nature, does not resorb and is extremely hard. This hardness allows the implant to anchor very strongly from the very first second. Thus, "fixed temporary teeth" can be safely placed for the patient on the same day as the surgery.

• End of Bone Grafting Surgeries (Grafts): There is no need to harvest bone from the patient's hip or chin, as in traditional methods, nor to wait 6-9 months for this bone to heal. The treatment duration is drastically shortened.

• Comfortable Surgical Process: Advanced surgical procedures at this level are generally performed under "General Anesthesia" or "Deep Sedation" (put to sleep) in fully equipped operating room conditions so that the patient experiences no stress, pain, or trauma. When the patient wakes up from the surgery, the foundation of their new teeth has already been established.

The success of zygoma implant operations performed in our advanced surgical infrastructure in Bursa Nilüfer is directly dependent on millimetric digital planning performed with 3D Dental Tomography (CBCT) and the advanced expertise of the physician performing the procedure in the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
