Depending on the bone deficiency, it can be applied together with normal dental implants, or the entire upper jaw can be rehabilitated with 4 zygomatic implants in those who have no bone. zygomatic implants are mostly applied under general anesthesia and allow the application of fixed temporary prosthesis after the procedure.

Thanks to these implants, many patients have achieved a permanent solution that previously seemed impossible. Extensive bone loss in the upper jaw can become not only an aesthetic concern for patients, but also a functional problem. Daily activities such as eating and speaking can be difficult.
