What Are Quad Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Posted by NextSmiles on February 3rd, 2021

Quad zygomatic dental implants are a type of rehabilitation technique that uses four dental implants in patients who have suffered severe bone loss. A fixed or removable prosthesis can be used to rehabilitate the missing teeth.

This method is less invasive compared to other methods of teeth rehabilitation. In most cases, when the quad zygomatic dental implants are fixed, there is an option to immediately load the teeth replacement.

Most people may prefer other teeth rehabilitation techniques such as All-on-4 dental implants or bridges but due to bone loss, the best option is quad zygomatic dental implants.

One of the main benefits of quad zygomatic dental implants is a low cost, less time and number of surgeries needed compared to other types of dental implants. The procedure makes it possible for the dentist to provide full teeth rehabilitation within a day.

Quad zygomatic dental implants is a possible technique used in the All-on-4 procedure where a full arch of teeth is supported by just 4 implants on either the lower or bottom jaw.

Another advantage of zygomatic dental implants is that they avoid having to have a sinus graft. Unlike other forms of dental implants, zygomatic dental Implants is very speedy. Sinus grafting can be a very invasive process and can take a very long time to completely integrate with the jaw bone.

There are also several follow-up series in a sinus lift but with zygomatic dental implants, there is no need for additional surgeries because everything is done within one dental visit.

The cost of quad zygomatic dental implants is also relatively low compared to other types of dental implants and procedures such as bone grafting and a sinus lift. The cost also depends on other factors such as the complexity of dental implant fixation.

At first temporary teeth are fixed after the implants are placed. The dentist will recommend a follow-up session where permanent teeth will be placed. These can be done in a day but depending on the complexity of quad zygomatic dental implants, this can require  up to two dental appointments.
