Do you have severe bone loss in your upper jaw, making it difficult to support conventional implants? If so, zygomatic implants might be the solution you've been searching for.
In the world of dental restoration, zygomatic implants have emerged as a revolutionary solution for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. In this blog post, we'll delve into what zygomatic implants are, who is a candidate for them, and the process involved in getting them.
Zygomatic implants, also known as zygomaticus implants or zygoma implants, are a type of dental implant used to support prosthetic teeth in the upper jaw when there is insufficient bone for conventional implants.
Unlike traditional implants, which are anchored directly into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are anchored in the zygomatic bone, commonly known as the cheekbone.
These implants are longer than conventional dental implants, reaching up to 50mm or more in length, allowing them to bypass the inadequate bone and provide a stable foundation for dental prosthetics.
Zygomatic implants are intended to replace teeth in the upper jaw. They can be used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, severely damaged or decayed teeth, or teeth that have become loose due to severe periodontal disease.
Additionally, zygomatic implants are an ideal choice for patients who are not candidates for traditional dental implants due to a lack of bone mass.
Zygomatic implants can also be used in coordination with traditional dental implants to replace both the upper and lower teeth.
Zygomatic implants are specifically designed for individuals who have experienced significant bone loss in the upper jaw, particularly in the maxillary bone. This bone loss can occur due to various factors, including:
If you have been told that you do not have enough bone in your upper jaw to support traditional dental implants, you may be a candidate for zygomatic implants.
If you're experiencing any of the following issues, it's advisable to consult with a dental professional to explore the possibility of zygomatic implants:
The process of getting zygomatic implants typically involves several steps:
Zygomatic implants are named for the bone that they are implanted into. More specifically, zygomatic implants are implanted into the zygomatic bone, more commonly known as the cheekbone. Compared to the maxillary bone, the zygomatic bone is much denser and provides a solid anchor point for the implant. Since zygomatic implants are placed in the cheekbone, they are significantly longer than traditional dental implants.
Zygomatic implants provide distinct benefits, especially for individuals with extensive bone loss in the upper jaw. These advantages not only meet the structural and functional needs for effective dental restoration but also improve the overall quality of life for the patients.
Zygomatic implants offer a viable solution for individuals with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who are seeking a permanent and reliable tooth replacement option. By bypassing the compromised jawbone and anchoring directly into the sturdy zygomatic bone, these implants provide stability and support for prosthetic teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
If you believe you may be a candidate for zygomatic implants, schedule a consultation with a qualified dentist or oral surgeon to explore your treatment options and take the first step toward reclaiming your confidence and quality of life.

18.1 Generally. Except as described in Section 18.2 and 18.3, you and Globalcare agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND GLOBALCARE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
18.2 Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
18.3 Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 18 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Globalcare Network, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration OptOut, 12377 Merit Dr. Suite 550. Dallas TX. 75251 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Globalcare receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 18 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 19.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
18.4 Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1800-778-7879, or by contacting Globalcare.
18.5 Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Globalcare’s address for Notice is: Globalcare Network, Inc., 12377 Merit Dr. Suite 550. Dallas TX. 75251. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Globalcare may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Globalcare will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
18.6 Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your [residence/billing address] unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your [residence/billing address]. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Globalcare must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
18.7 Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 18.8, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Globalcare before an arbitrator was selected, Globalcare will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
18.8 No Class Actions. YOU AND GLOBALCARE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Globalcare agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
18.9 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Globalcare makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Globalcare’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Globalcare will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
18.10 Enforceability. If Section 18.8 or the entirety of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable, or if Globalcare receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 188 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 19.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
19.1 General Terms. These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Globalcare regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms and all rights granted under these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of Section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
19.2 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflict of law principles.

Disclaimer: Dental Cost Estimation Calculator
This Dental Cost Estimation Calculator is designed to provide users with estimates of potential savings when seeking dental treatments abroad compared to the cost of similar procedures in the United States. However, please be aware of the following important information before using this tool:
1. Estimations Based on Publicly Available Data:
The estimates provided in this calculator are derived from publicly available data sources, including average procedure costs, exchange rates, and other relevant information. These figures may not reflect the exact costs of your specific treatment or location. Estimations include non-dynamic assumptions for travel and lodging costs that may not reflect the actual costs at the time of your research.
2. Quantitative Model Assumptions:
The calculations are based on assumptions and data inputs that may not account for all factors influencing dental treatment costs. Variations in individual treatment needs, dentist fees, and other variables can significantly affect the final expenses.
3. No Substitute for Professional Advice:
This tool is not a substitute for professional dental advice. Before making any decisions about your dental treatment, it is crucial to consult with a qualified dental professional who can provide you with a personalized assessment of your needs and potential costs.
4. Currency Exchange Rates:
Estimates involving foreign treatment costs rely on currency exchange rates, which can fluctuate. The rates used in this calculator may not accurately represent the current market rates at the time of your treatment.
5. Geographic and Facility Variations:
Dental costs can vary significantly based on geographic location, dental facility, and the complexity of the procedure. The estimates provided are general in nature and may not reflect the specific conditions in your chosen destination or dental clinic.
6. Non-Inclusive Costs:
This calculator may not account for additional expenses such as per diem costs in destination or unforeseen complications during or after the procedure. These costs can substantially impact your overall expenses.
7. Liability Waiver:
By using this calculator, you acknowledge that the estimates provided are for informational purposes only, and Globalcare Network Inc or any of its representatives bear no responsibility for the accuracy of the estimates or any decisions made based on them.
8. Independent Research Recommended:
It is strongly recommended that you conduct independent research, obtain quotes from dental professionals, and consider all relevant factors when making decisions about dental treatment abroad.
In summary, while this Dental Cost Estimation Calculator aims to provide helpful information, it should not be the sole basis for your decision-making process. Your individual circumstances and dental needs may differ, and it is essential to seek professional advice and conduct thorough research before pursuing dental treatment abroad
