Zygomatic Implants
in São Paulo

Immediate Rehabilitation with a Fixed, Natural Smile
and Without Grafts

Even with advanced bone loss, you can rediscover your smile with a fixed prosthesis.
Imagine smiling, talking and eating with total confidence again.

What are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are the ideal alternative for those who have lost their upper teeth and don’t have enough bone for conventional implants. Fixed in the cheekbone area, they allow fixed prostheses to be fitted without the need for bone grafts.

How do I know if I have enough bone?

To find out if you are a good candidate for Zygomatic Implants, you need to undergo imaging tests, such as a Dental Tomography. If you don’t already have it, we can order it for you online!

Zygomatic Implants: Where to Perform Your Surgery Safely?

Choosing the right location for your zygomatic implant surgery is one of the most important decisions you and your surgeon will make together.

Why is the Hospital Usually the Best Option?

  • Controlled and safe environment: Hospitals offer a completely sterile space, which reduces the risk of infection as much as possible.
  • Specialized Team: In addition to the surgeon, you will have anesthetists and other professionals who will be by your side to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
  • State-of-the-art technology: Constant monitoring of your vital signs during surgery, ensuring your safety at every stage.
  • Prepared for emergencies: Should anything unforeseen occur, the hospital is equipped to provide the immediate care required.
  • Adequate time: The surgery can take up to 3 hours, and at the hospital, there is all the infrastructure for the procedure to be carried out without haste and with precision.
  • Supported recovery: After the surgery, you can stay in hospital for a day, receiving specialized support for a smooth recovery.

When is the office an option?

In very specific and less complex cases, surgery can be performed in a doctor’s office, but only if:

  • Simple and quick procedure: takes less than 2 hours.
  • Favorable conditions: No need for multiple extractions.
  • Patient in Good Health: No comorbidities that could complicate the procedure.

Even in these cases, a qualified anesthesiologist must be present to ensure your safety.

What Really Matters:

The decision on where to have your surgery should be made together with your surgeon, taking into account your health history and the particularities of your case. The most important thing is to choose the place that offers the greatest safety and the best conditions for a successful procedure.

Your safety and well-being always come first!

  • It’s natural to worry about pain, but know that zygomatic implant surgery is designed to be as comfortable as possible.

    • Efficient anesthesia: During the procedure, you will be under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, which means you won’t feel any pain while the surgery is performed.
    • Post-operative care: After surgery, you will be given medication to control any pain or swelling that may arise.
    • Patient experience: Most people describe the pain as mild to moderate, comparable to that of a tooth extraction.
    • Quick recovery: Any discomfort you feel usually subsides considerably within a few days, allowing you to resume your normal activities soon.

    Remember, we’re here to make sure you have the smoothest and most comfortable experience possible. Your health and well-being are our priority!

What to Expect from the Duration of Surgery

As a specialist in zygomatic implants, I understand that each case is unique and the duration of the procedure can vary depending on its complexity.

  • Standard Procedures: In many cases, the surgery can be completed in 1 to 2 hours. This is enough time to ensure that the implants are positioned accurately, without compromising the quality of the result.
  • More complex cases: For situations that require a larger number of implants or other special considerations, the time may be extended. It is essential that each stage is carried out calmly, with a view to the long-term success of the treatment.

The duration of the surgery is always planned to provide a safe and effective result, respecting the individual needs of each patient. Precision and care during the procedure are fundamental to the success of zygomatic implants.

What You Need to Know About Osseointegration in Zygomatic Implants

Osseointegration is a crucial process after the placement of zygomatic implants, where the jawbone integrates with the implant, ensuring its stability and durability.

  • Integration time: This process takes 3 to 6 months, during which time the implant gradually fuses to the bone, becoming a solid base for the dental prosthesis.
  • Stability and healing: During these months, the implants heal and become firmly fixed in the bone structure, preparing to support the final prostheses.
  • Temporary prostheses: So that you don’t lose your teeth during this time, you can use temporary fixed prostheses. These not only maintain the aesthetics of your smile, but also allow you to continue chewing and speaking normally.

This period of osseointegration is essential to ensure that the implants are stable and long-lasting, providing the perfect base for your final prostheses.

Postoperative Care to Ensure the Success of Zygomatic Implants

After zygomatic implant surgery, following your dentist’s guidelines is essential for a smooth recovery and a successful outcome. Here are some important precautions:

  • Follow the instructions to the letter: Every recommendation your dentist gives you is designed to protect your health and guarantee the success of your implants. Therefore, follow them strictly.
  • Take Medication Correctly: It is important to take the prescribed medication as directed, as it will help control pain, reduce swelling and prevent infection.
  • Adopt a proper diet: For the first few days, opt for a cold, pasty diet. This makes it easier to chew and minimizes discomfort, helping with healing.
  • Use Cold Compresses: Applying cold compresses to the operated area can help reduce swelling and bring more comfort.
  • Maintain Careful Oral Hygiene: Even after surgery, it is essential to keep your mouth clean to avoid infection. Your dentist will give you specific guidelines on how to care for the operated area.
  • Don’t miss follow-up appointments: Follow-up visits are essential for your dentist to monitor healing and treatment progress. It is at these appointments that possible adjustments can be made to ensure the best possible outcome.

Remember, we’re here to accompany you every step of the way. Following these precautions not only facilitates healing, but also contributes to the long-term success of your implants. Your well-being is our priority!

Zygomatic Implants: The Durable and Stable Solution

When it comes to dental rehabilitation in cases of severe bone loss, zygomatic implants stand out as a superior option, offering benefits that go beyond traditional alternatives.

  • Longevity of Zygomatic Implants: These implants are designed to last, offering a permanent solution that integrates firmly into the zygomatic bone, guaranteeing stability and functionality for many years. Unlike bone grafts, which can be complex and carry a higher risk of complications, zygomatic implants eliminate the need for this additional procedure.

  • Low Risk Compared to Bone Grafts: Bone grafts, in addition to being time-consuming and painful, come with a higher risk of failure, especially in patients with comorbidities. Zygomatic implants, on the other hand, offer a direct and effective approach, significantly reducing the associated risks.

  • In contrast to removable dentures, which can be unstable and cause discomfort when speaking or chewing, fixed dentures on zygomatic implants provide a solid hold. This means you can enjoy efficient chewing function and a confident smile without the worries of displacement or irritation.

Opting for zygomatic implants means choosing a solution that combines longevity, safety and stability, guaranteeing dental rehabilitation that significantly improves your quality of life.

Main Factors Influencing the Cost of Zygomatic Implants

  1. Complexity of the case:

    • The patient’s specific condition, including the degree of bone atrophy and the need for personalized planning, can influence the cost. More complex cases generally require more time, effort and technology, which can increase the cost of treatment.
  2. Number of implants required:

    • The number of zygomatic implants to be placed directly influences the cost. Patients who need more implants to ensure stability and functionality may face a higher cost.
  3. Technology and materials used:

    • The use of advanced technology, such as customized surgical guides, 3D scanners, and high-quality materials for implants and prostheses, raises the cost of the procedure. These tools guarantee greater precision and better results.
  4. Professional experience and qualifications:

    • The expertise of the dental surgeon is a crucial factor in cost. Professionals with years of experience and a solid reputation in highly complex procedures, such as zygomatic implants, can charge more for their service, reflecting the quality and safety they offer.
  5. Complementary Procedures:

    • Some patients may need additional treatments, such as the extraction of remaining teeth or periodontal treatments before the implants are placed. These complementary procedures also influence the total cost.
  6. Location of Surgery:

    • The location where the surgery will take place also influences the cost. Procedures performed in a hospital tend to be more expensive due to the advanced infrastructure, multidisciplinary team and highly controlled environment. On the other hand, surgeries performed in an outpatient surgical clinic can be less expensive, but with limited indications, but still offer safety and efficiency. In addition, if the patient has a medical insurance that covers part of the hospital costs or the materials used, this can significantly reduce the total cost of the treatment.
  7. Follow-up and Post-Operative Care:

    • Post-operative follow-up, including review appointments, prosthesis adjustments and healing care, is also included in the cost of treatment. These services guarantee the long-term success of the implants and patient satisfaction.
  8. Expenses related to Dental Tourism:

    • For patients traveling from other countries or regions, costs may include additional expenses such as transportation, accommodation and services related to dental tourism. Some clinics offer packages that include these services, which can affect the total cost of treatment.

These factors combined determine the investment required for the zygomatic implant procedure, reflecting the quality, safety and efficacy of the treatment offered.

No. Our service is exclusively private, with no links to SUS or public programs such as Smiling Brazil.

This means that all treatments – including zygomatic implants – are carried out privately in our clinic.

In this way, we guarantee personalized care of the highest quality for each patient.

Unfortunately, no. SUS does not offer zygomatic implants, not even through the Smiling Brazil program.

It is an advanced and complex treatment that requires specialized materials and techniques that are not available in the public health system.

For this reason, these implants can only be done in specialized private clinics.

Medical Health Plans

All medical health insurance companies are obliged by law to cover hospital procedures in the specialties of dentistry which, due to clinical imperatives, need to be carried out in a hospital environment.

Patients who need Zygomatic Implants and have a Medical Health Plan will be entitled to the following items:

✔︎ Hospitalization;
✔︎ Surgical Center and Anesthesiologist;
✔︎ Medications during hospitalization;
✔︎ Complementary Exams.

Our Orofacial Rehabilitation Clinic will provide the following documents in an attempt to strengthen relations with health insurance companies and guarantee total transparency in the indication of surgeries and the request for materials:

  1. Report Justifying the Need for the Procedures;
  2. Description of the Necessary Procedures;
  3. Materials to be used in the procedures;
  4. Justification of the Need for the Materials Requested.

After applying to the health insurance company, it has up to 21 days to authorize the surgery. In the event of refusal, the patient should contact the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS).

All health insurance companies are legally exempt from covering the costs of dental procedures which, due to clinical imperatives, need to be carried out in a hospital environment.

Even if the patient has a health insurance plan, they will have to pay for the following items;

✔︎ Dental Team Fees;
✔︎ Implants and Components;
✔︎ Prostheses of any kind;
