Cost Of Zygomatic Implants

If you are interested in bypassing bone loss with zygomatic implants contact your local YDS clinic to discuss your options, pricing and pay monthly finance.

At Yorkshire Dental Suite, the price for zygomatic implants is the same as standard implants, costing £2,800 per tooth. It allows patients with low bone density to receive life changing dental implant treatment without having to pay extra.

What are zygomatic implants?

This special type of implant is used when individuals want to receive the benefits of dental implant treatment but have bone loss. You may be wondering – if it doesn't attach to the jawbone, where in the mouth does it attach to instead? The implant is inserted diagonally along the sinus wall, and into your cheekbone (Zygoma).

Zygomatic implants VS pterygoid implants

While they are both used for the same reason (a lack of bone in the jaw), they do differ slightly. A zygomatic implant anchors to the cheekbone, whereas a pterygoid implant attaches to the medial pterygoid plate. This is located in the back of your upper jaw.

Benefits of zygomatic implants

One of the biggest advantages of zygomatic implants is that there is no delay in your overall treatment time. Similar to a standard dental implant, it is fitted in one appointment. On the other hand, if you needed to have additional procedures such as a sinus lift, your treatment would be delayed in order to give your mouth time to heal. Zygomatic implants allow patients to have dental implant treatment, even if they have bone loss. This stops pain caused by chewing, and allows you to smile with confidence. Finally, with proper care and maintenance, your new strong, healthy teeth lasts up to 20 years.

Alternatives to zygomatic implants

Alongside zygomatic and pterygoid implants, dental implant patients with bone loss have alternative procedures to consider.

• Sinus lift: This surgical procedure includes raising the membrane that lines the maxillary sinuses in the upper jaw. The space created in this lifting action is filled with the donor bone graft material that will then support your implants.
• Bone graft: Dental bone grafts increase the amount of bone that you have in your jaw. An incision is made in the gum to separate it from the bone, before the chosen graft material is placed. The gums are repositioned, and the area is finally stitched up.

Conclusion: If you have low bone density and your broken, worn and missing teeth are causing pain, consider zygomatic implants. Yorkshire Dental Suite are experts in the implantology field, and will give you the strong, confident smile you once had. Book your consultation today.
