🔍 What Are Zygoma Implants?
Zygoma implants (or zygomatic implants) are longer dental implants anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma), not the jawbone. They are specially designed for patients who don’t have enough bone in their upper jaw for traditional implants.

⏱ How Is the Procedure Done?
- Consultation and 3D scans

❓ Are Zygoma Implants Safe?
Yes! When done by an experienced implant surgeon, zygomatic implants are very safe and effective. They are FDA-approved and have a high success rate even in challenging cases.
✅ Why Choose Zygoma Implants Over Dentures?
