Dental implant treatment is a procedure in which artificial tooth roots are placed to replace missing teeth. This treatment can be categorized into different types depending on the nature of tooth loss. Below are the most common types of implant treatments:

Single Tooth Implant (Single-Tooth Implant Treatment)

📌 Description: In cases of a single missing tooth, only the lost tooth is replaced with an implant. The implant is screwed into the jawbone, and a dental crown is placed on top.
📌 Application Area: Suitable for cases where only one tooth is missing.

Implant-Supported Bridge

📌 Description: When multiple teeth are missing, a bridge is used to restore the missing teeth. Implants serve as the support points for the bridge.
📌 Application Area: Used in cases where three or more teeth are missing.

All-on-4 Implant Treatment

📌 Description: A full set of teeth is fixed onto just four implants placed in the upper or lower jaw. This treatment is also suitable for patients with insufficient bone structure.
📌 Application Area: Ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth but have inadequate bone volume.

Zirconium Implant

📌 Description: Instead of metal, zirconium is used as a ceramic material for dental implants. These implants provide a natural aesthetic appearance and are suitable for individuals with metal allergies.
📌 Application Area: Preferred for patients with aesthetic concerns, metal allergies, or very thin gums.

Mini Implants

📌 Description: Mini implants are smaller and thinner than traditional implants. They are often used in patients with insufficient jawbone where additional surgical procedures are not required.
📌 Application Area: Used in cases with low bone volume or when a shorter healing period is needed.

Digital Implant Dentistry – Digital Implant Design

📌 Description: Using digital imaging and CAD/CAM technologies, implant treatment can be planned more precisely and efficiently. This method provides higher success rates and faster healing.
📌 Application Area: Preferred in treatments requiring high precision and personalized planning.

The choice of implant treatment depends on individual needs, jawbone structure, aesthetic expectations, and budget. Your dentist will determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Zygoma Implant Treatment

Zygoma implants are a treatment solution developed for patients with insufficient jawbone where traditional dental implants cannot be placed. The term “Zygoma” refers to the cheekbone (zygomatic bone). Unlike conventional implants, zygomatic implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone instead of the jawbone.

Features of Zygoma Implants:

✅ Used in Cases of Bone Deficiency: Preferred for patients experiencing severe bone loss in the upper jaw, particularly due to tooth loss.
✅ Placed in the Zygomatic Bone: Unlike other implants, zygomatic implants are secured directly into the zygomatic bone, which has a denser and stronger structure, ensuring successful integration.
✅ Fast and Effective Solution: These implants eliminate the need for traditional bone grafts or sinus lift surgeries, providing a quicker solution, especially for patients with insufficient bone density.

How is Zygoma Implant Treatment Performed?

1. Evaluation and Planning

Before performing the zygoma implant procedure, the patient’s oral structure, bone volume, and health status are thoroughly evaluated. Advanced 3D imaging and CT scans are used to examine the jaw structure in detail.

2. Surgical Procedure

• Zygoma implants are placed through a surgical procedure.
• Unlike standard implants, they are screwed into the zygomatic bone instead of the jawbone.
• The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia.

3. Healing Process

• After the implant placement, the healing process may take longer than traditional implants.
• However, zygoma implants provide strong anchorage and a high success rate.

4. Prosthesis Placement

• After the implants have integrated, a fixed dental bridge or prosthetic teeth are placed.
• This allows patients to regain functional and aesthetic teeth.

Advantages of Zygoma Implants

⭐ Fast Results: Even in cases of severe bone loss, zygoma implants offer a quicker solution.
⭐ Ideal for Patients with Severe Bone Loss: These implants are a life-changing option for patients who cannot undergo traditional implant treatment due to extreme bone resorption.
⭐ No Need for Bone Grafts: Unlike standard implants, zygoma implants do not require bone grafting or sinus lifting procedures.

Things to Know About Zygoma Implants

⚠️ More Complex Surgery: Zygoma implants involve a more complex surgical procedure compared to traditional implants, requiring higher expertise and experience.
⚠️ Longer Healing Process: After the procedure, careful follow-up is necessary for proper healing.
⚠️ Aesthetic Considerations: A thorough evaluation of the jaw and facial anatomy is crucial for optimal results.

Who is Suitable for Zygoma Implants?

✔️ Patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who have not achieved success with bone grafting or sinus lift procedures.
✔️ Those unable to receive traditional implants due to excessive bone resorption.
✔️ Patients looking for a fast and effective solution due to time constraints.

Zygoma implants provide a highly successful treatment for patients with bone loss. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate. A personalized treatment plan and an experienced specialist are essential for successful results.
