Zygoma dental implants or zygomatic implants are done for the edentulous upper jaw where there is severe bone resorption in the maxilla (or upper jaw) where bone condition has insufficient anchorage for prosthesis (fixed bridges or overdentures). The zygomatic dental implants provide such cases with a permanent solution involving minimal surgical procedures at reduced treatment time, without sacrificing their expectations of success. Zygoma implant presents a unique alternative for rehabilitating the severely resorbed maxilla, with only one surgical procedure and without the need for grafting.   The zygoma dental implant treatment is done in 1 phase:

1. Tooth extraction (if required)
2. Implant post placement
3. Make and Fit Prosthetics on implant

With the zygoma dental implant technique, teeth is extraction and the implant post placed during the same surgical visit. A fixed acyrlic bridge is fabricated and functioning within 1 to 2 days after surgery. The timeline for zygoma dental implants is thus completed within one trip.

Why zygomatic dental implant treatment

• zygoma implants may be done for severe bone resorption cases
• zygoma implant presents a graftless solution
• zygomatic implants immediate function and short treatment time

Zygomatic dental implants treatment

Dental Implants Procedure 1

Diagnosis and planning for panoramic x-rays and necessary health checks.  

Dental Implants Procedure 2

Tooth extraction (if required) and dental implant post placement  

Dental Implants Procedure 3

Fabricate hybrid bridges and fit on implant posts. Adjust and re-check on proper bite.

Factors to consider for Zygoma-implant

• Clinically symptom free and pathology free sinuses
• Appropriate radiographic imaging of the maxillary sinuses and zygoma regions

• Possibility of placing at least two ordinary implants in the frontal maxilla

Full jaw dental implantation are done for cases where patients has no existing teeth or for cases that require the removal of all existing teeth. A combination of full arch dental teeth implants options may be done in reconstructing both arches allowing patients to have new set of teeth improving quality of life.

Dental Implantation + Overdentures

For dental implantation with dentures, the implant posts acts as anchors in retening the overdentures in place. Implant-supported overdentures retends the full dentures in place and prevents slipping and sliding during chewing and talking associated with conventional full dentures. Dental implantation with dentures are removable prosthetic options.

Dental Implantation + Dental Bridges

For dental implantation with dental bridges, the implant posts acts as new tooth roots with a fixed dental bridges over the dental implants. With this dental implant teeth option, it is simliar to having a new set of teeth on the dental implants and are fixed prosthetic options.

All-on-4 and All-on-6

All-on-4 and All-on-6 are immediate function implant tooth options simliar to having fixed acrylic teeth on the implant posts. All-on-4 and all-on-6 dental implants are graftless dental implants solutions. And suited for overseas cases requiring a new set of teeth within one trip.

Zygoma Dental Implants

Zygoma dental implant surgery are done only for the upper jaw and suited for cases with severe bone resorption or bone loss. Zygoma dental implants are very long titanium implants posts placed up into the zygoma area (or cheek bone area) allowing a new set of teeth to be built on the dental implants.

Dental Implant Surgery for Full Mouth Dental Implants

Conventional full mouth dental implants options includes :

• Dental implants with Overdenture
• Dental implants with Fixed Bridges

Smiliar to full arch dental implantation, conventional full mouth implants are done over 2 to 3 trips depending on bone conditions. If there is mild to moderate boneloss, conventional full mouth dental implants are done in 2 trips. If there is moderate and severe boneloss, then bonegrafting is done as a separate trip before the first stage implant post placement is done done in 3 trips.

Conventional full mouth dental implants procedure are established tried and tested methods with long historical success cases reports and statistics. Alternatively, immediate function dental implants procedure may also be done with:

• All-on-4 and All-on-6
• Zygoma implants

Immediate function implants are graftless solutions suited for cases with little back bone support and whereby a new set of teeth is obtained within one trip.

A commonly asked questions is on full mouth dental implants costs in Thailand. The total costs of treatment will vary based on:

• implant brand and implant range. Each implant brand may have various implant ranges with different material properties that can affect faster osseointegration with jaw bone and/or long-term durability
• whether conventional or immediate function implants technique is opted
• the number of implants required per jaw sufficient for biting load  pressure
• your chosen final prostheses on removable dentures, fixed dentures (all-on-4) or fixed full bridges
• bone condition to determine if additional bonegrafting or sinus lift is required

In general the costs of full mouth dental implants will normally entail at least 2 large x-rays, set of dental implants and medications fees. Certain dental clinics split their implant posts and implant crowns costs. So when getting a implant cost quote, be sure to ask your dentist for the total cost of full mouth dental implants that would include both implant procedural stages.

Full arch dental implant teeth are done when there are no existing teeth on the arch. For full arch dental implant teeth, there are several dental implant tooth treatment options for full arch reconsturction including:

Dental Implant Teeth + Dentures

For dental implant teeth with bar or ball and overdentures, the dental implant posts acts as anchor supports in retening the overdentures in place relative to having conventional full dentures that tends to slip and slide when chewing and talking. Dental implant teeth with bar/ball and overdentures are implant teeth options whereby the overdenture may be removed and cleaned.
