Zygomatic implants in Costa Rica
When bone is limited, another option may be possible
A specialist option for selected cases of severe upper-jaw bone loss. Support from the cheekbone may make rehabilitation possible when conventional implants alone are not suitable.
Educational treatment illustration.
The cheekbone provides support when upper-jaw bone is insufficient.
Selected patients may avoid extensive bone augmentation procedures.
Implant positions are considered together with the future restoration.
How it works
Zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone and may be combined with other implants to support an upper-jaw restoration. Their path and the health of the maxillary sinuses require specialist assessment.
Who may be a candidate?
They may be considered for selected patients with major upper-jaw bone loss, including some patients whose previous implant or graft treatment failed. Imaging to assess the upper jaw, cheekbones and sinuses forms part of planning.

What to understand before deciding
This is complex surgery. Potential problems include sinusitis, infection, changes in sensation, implant loss and restorative complications. Team experience, case selection and follow-up are important.
