Zygomatic implants in Madridwhen you've been told there's no bone
When the upper jaw has lost too much bone, we anchor longer implants in the cheekbone to give you fixed teeth again, often without months of bone grafting.

What they are
A solution for people "without bone"
Zygomatic implants are longer than conventional implants and are anchored in the zygomatic bone (the cheekbone), which is much denser and more stable than an atrophic upper jaw. They make it possible to restore the upper jaw with fixed teeth without long bone-grafting procedures.
It is an advanced surgical technique that should be performed by a surgeon with maxillofacial training and planned with a 3D CT scan. At IDEA we combine it, when the case requires, with pterygoid and conventional implants.
Why IDEA

Who for
When other clinics have said no
Patients from other cities, and even other countries, choose IDEA to solve their case. Common situations:
01
Severe upper jaw atrophy
Bone loss after years without teeth, advanced gum disease or ill-fitting dentures.
02
Grafts that didn't work
Patients with failed bone grafts or implants looking for a reliable alternative.
03
You don't want to wait months
You avoid the waiting time of grafts and, in many cases, leave with fixed provisional teeth.

FAQ
Zygomatic implants: your questions
What are zygomatic implants?
They are longer implants anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) instead of the upper jaw. They are used when the upper jaw does not have enough bone for conventional implants.
Can I get implants if I don't have enough bone?
In many cases, yes, with zygomatic, pterygoid or custom implants. A 3D CT scan is essential to know for sure: send us yours before the free video consultation and we will tell you which option suits your bone.
Is the surgery done under general anaesthesia?
At IDEA it is usually done under local anaesthesia and conscious sedation monitored by an anaesthetist, so you are calm and pain-free throughout.
Can I leave with fixed teeth?
When the implants achieve enough stability, fixed provisional teeth can be fitted around 24 hours after surgery. We assess it case by case.
How long should I stay in Madrid?
A first trip usually lasts about four days: study, surgery, fixed teeth and a check-up before you fly. We confirm the plan for your case before you book.
