In Playa del Carmen, SOTA Dental performs zygomatic implant cases with the support of visiting maxillofacial surgeons because these procedures require a very high level of expertise. Zygomatic implants take longer than standard implants due to the severity of the bone loss in the upper jaw. Most patients should expect two or three trips and a healing timeline that varies based on their individual anatomy.
Your first trip is typically one week. During this visit, the surgeon places the zygomatic implants through the upper gums and into the cheekbone. Many patients still receive same day teeth, but the initial healing period is longer and less predictable. Because zygomatic implants connect to different bone structures, the integration process can take several months.
When you return for your second or third trip, our team will begin designing your permanent prosthesis. Most patients stay in Playa del Carmen for seven to ten days during this final phase. Multiple try ins are common because zygomatic cases require extremely precise alignment. The relaxed beach environment makes this a comfortable location to recover, but the overall timeline remains longer due to the complexity of the procedure.
