Zygomatic implants are a type of dental implant that is used to support a dental prosthesis when the jawbone is too weak or too damaged to do so. This type of implant is longer and wider than traditional dental implants, and it uses the zygoma, which is the cheekbone, as an anchor point. When other methods of implant placement are not possible due to bone loss near the upper molars or insufficient jawbone density, zygomatic implants may be recommended.
