Why choose ZAGA Zygoma implants?

Tooth replacement options are abundant. Patients have many types of tooth replacement options to choose from today, thanks to various advances in the field of restorative dentistry. While dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement, not everyone is a candidate. This is because dental implants require patients to have sufficient bone present in the jaw to ensure a successful surgery. Because of this limitation, not everyone is a good fit. However, there is another option that patients can consider if they are seeking a solution that maintains bone health while remaining permanent: zygomatic implants. 

What is a ZAGA zygomatic implant? 

A zygomatic dental implant is a restoration designed specifically for people with less bone mass in the upper jaw. These implants function just like other implants, serving as a dedicated anchor point for a dental prosthetic. However, the ZAGA zygomatic implants are placed into the zygomatic bone instead of the jaw bone. The implants are much longer than traditional implants because of how they need to be placed, and are often inserted at an angle to achieve the proper foundation.
