Cheekbone (Zygomatic) Dental Implants Explained
The cheekbone (zygoma) forms a key part of the mid-face contour and eye socket rim. ZMC fractures, also known as tripod fractures, cause flattening of the cheek, double vision, and can lock the jaw by pressing on the lower jaw bone (coronoid process). Surgical correction involves lifting the bone back into position via a Gillies temporal approach or direct plating at key facial buttresses to restore facial contours and jaw joint mobility.

Avoid Painful Bone Grafts and Sinus Lifts
Bone grafting and sinus lifts rebuild thin jaw bone to make implant placement possible. A sinus lift lifts the maxillary sinus membrane and inserts bone graft material underneath, thickening the bone in the back of the upper jaw. Ridge augmentation increases bone width using block bone grafts or growth factors (PRF).
