Zygomatic implants information and locations in Mexico
Zygomatic implants are a dental implant option used when the amount or quality of the maxillary bone is insufficient to support conventional dental implants. These implants are placed in the zygomatic bone, which is denser and more resistant than the maxillary bone.
Zygomatic implants are a good option for patients who have been told are not candidates for traditional dental implants or have severe bone loss.
The placement procedure of zygomatic implants is more complex than conventional dental implants and is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made in the gum and the zygomatic bone is drilled to place the implants. Then, a fixed or removable dental prosthesis is placed on the implants.

Zygomatic implant frequent questions
Get answers to our most frequently asked questions and what to expect after the procedure.
What is the main difference between zygomatic implants and conventional dental implants?
The main difference lies in the location where they are placed. While conventional implants are placed directly into the maxillary bone, zygomatic implants are placed in the zygomatic bone, which is located on top of the cheekbone.
Does the placement of zygomatic implants hurt?
The placement of zygomatic implants is a surgical procedure, so some discomfort may be felt after the surgery. However, local anesthesia and conscious sedation are used to minimize pain during the procedure.
How long does the entire process of zygomatic implants take?
The complete process of zygomatic implants can take 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of each case. The exact time will depend on various factors such as the patient's overall health and the amount of bone available in the implant area.
