A zygomatic implant is a long fixture anchored into the cheekbone rather than the upper jaw. It exists for one situation: a severely resorbed upper jaw where there is not enough bone left for conventional implants and where extensive grafting would otherwise be the only alternative.
This is advanced surgery and it is performed here by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, not by a general dentist. That distinction matters more in this procedure than in almost any other in dentistry.
When a graft is the wrong answer
Sinus lifts and block grafts can rebuild a moderately resorbed upper jaw, but in severe resorption the volume required makes grafting unpredictable, expensive and slow — often adding nine to twelve months before implants can even be placed.
Zygomatic implants bypass the deficient bone entirely. For the right patient this converts a two-year treatment plan into a matter of months.
Safety and planning
The fixture passes close to the maxillary sinus and the orbital floor, so planning is done on a CBCT scan with the trajectory decided in software before the day of surgery. We do not place these freehand.
Surgery is performed under sedation or general anaesthesia depending on the case, with full monitoring and post-operative review.
What your treatment journey looks like
- Step 1Assessment
CBCT, sinus evaluation and a frank discussion of whether a conventional route is still possible.
- Step 2Digital planning
Fixture trajectory and prosthetic position planned together in software.
- Step 3Surgery
Placement under sedation or general anaesthesia, with the maxillofacial team.
- Step 4Fixed bridge
Temporary bridge within days where stability allows; definitive prosthesis after healing.
Frequently asked questions
I was told I have no bone for implants. Is this an option?
Very possibly. A severely resorbed upper jaw is exactly the indication for zygomatic implants. Bring any existing CBCT or OPG and we will tell you honestly whether it applies to you.
Is it painful?
Surgery is done under sedation or general anaesthesia, so it is not felt. Swelling and bruising over the cheeks for several days afterwards is normal and managed with medication.
How long do zygomatic implants last?
Published survival rates at ten years are comparable to conventional implants when placed and maintained correctly. Six-monthly review is not optional with this treatment.
Zygomatic Implants in a hospital setting, not a single chair
Most dental care in Jaipur is delivered from single-chair clinics. The difference shows up when a case needs bone work, sedation, inpatient monitoring or a second speciality on the same day.
