At Tayfun Civak Dental Clinic, we offer advanced Zygoma Implant Services to provide a solution for patients who have experienced severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Zygoma implants are a specialized type of dental implant that are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) rather than the upper jawbone, making them an excellent option for patients who may not have sufficient bone density for traditional implants.

What is a Zygoma Implant?

Zygoma implants are long, tapered dental implants that are inserted into the zygomatic bone, which is located in the cheek area. This approach allows for the placement of dental implants even in cases where the upper jawbone has been significantly resorbed or deteriorated. Zygoma implants provide a stable and reliable foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth.

The Zygoma Implant Process

1. Initial Consultation: During your consultation, our dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including a review of your medical history, a comprehensive examination, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or 3D scans. This assessment helps us determine if zygoma implants are a suitable option for you.

2. Treatment Planning: Based on your evaluation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan may include the use of zygoma implants and any additional procedures required, such as bone grafting or sinus lifts, if necessary.

3. Implant Placement: The zygoma implant procedure involves placing the implants into the zygomatic bone. The implants are positioned at an angle to maximize stability and support for the prosthetic teeth. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort.

4. Healing and Integration: After the implants are placed, a healing period is required for the zygoma implants to integrate with the bone. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures that the implants provide a secure and stable foundation for the final prosthetic restoration.

5. Prosthetic Fabrication: Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, a custom-made prosthetic restoration is designed and attached to the implants. The prosthetic is crafted to match the appearance and function of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural look.

6. Final Restoration: The permanent prosthetic restoration is placed on the zygoma implants, completing the treatment. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal fit, function, and comfort.

7. Post-Treatment Care: We will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new prosthetic and maintain good oral hygiene. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the health of your implants and the condition of the prosthetic.

Benefits of Zygoma Implants

• Suitable for Severe Bone Loss: Zygoma implants are ideal for patients with significant upper jawbone resorption, allowing for effective implant placement without the need for extensive bone grafting.

• Enhanced Stability: The zygomatic bone provides a stable and secure foundation for the implants, ensuring improved function and comfort.

• Immediate Results: Zygoma implants can often support a full arch of prosthetic teeth shortly after placement, providing immediate aesthetic and functional benefits.

• Preserves Facial Aesthetics: By restoring missing teeth and supporting the jaw structure, zygoma implants help maintain facial aesthetics and prevent further bone loss.

• Minimally Invasive: The procedure is less invasive compared to traditional bone grafting and implant methods, reducing the need for complex surgeries and recovery time.
