Choosing the right dental implant solution can be overwhelming—especially for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. Many are offered bone grafting procedures, sinus lifts, or long treatment timelines. But an increasingly popular alternative, zygomatic implants, offers a faster, graft-free solution.

Zygomatic dental implants have revolutionized treatment for patients who were once told they were not candidates for traditional implants. At Milim International, we’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of international patients restore their smiles and lives through this advanced technique.

Zygomatic dental implants offer new hope for patients who suffer from severe bone loss in the upper jaw. But what does the surgical process look like, and what should patients expect during recovery? In this blog, we walk through the entire journey—step by step—so you can feel informed and confident in your decision.

Bone loss in the upper jaw is a common challenge for many people who have been missing teeth for years. It can result from tooth loss, gum disease, infection, or natural aging. Unfortunately, this makes traditional dental implants difficult or even impossible without undergoing additional procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifts.

Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry by providing patients with a long-lasting and natural-looking solution to missing teeth. However, for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, traditional implants may not be an option without undergoing bone grafting procedures.
