Zygoma Dental implant

One solution for patients with lack of bone quantity in the upper posterior segments is bi-lateral sinus grafting. This grafting will produce enough bone volume for the placement of implants, however the implants are not ready to restore for nine to twelve months.

The placement of Zygoma dental implants bypasses the need to undergo bi-lateral sinus grafting and, because they provide excellent fixation, they can be loaded with a fixed bridge immediately following surgery. Zygoma implants offer patients an alternative to lateral sinus grafting with drastically reduced waiting times.
