This technique can provide a stable foundation for patients with significant upper jaw bone loss, but it is more complex and requires specialised surgical expertise.
Dr. Fibishenko explains, “Zygomatic implants can provide a reliable solution for patients with significant bone loss, where conventional implants may not be suitable.”
Brett’s procedure involved removing the failing implants, addressing infection and bone loss, and placing new implants to support a full upper bridge. The treatment was completed under general anaesthetic, with a tailored aftercare plan to support recovery and long-term stability.
Reflecting on the experience, Brett shares, “It was a huge relief to know I was in capable hands after everything I had been through.”
Following the procedure, Brett experienced improvements in his comfort and daily activities. “I no longer had to worry about pain while eating or sleeping,” he shares. “That made a significant difference for me.”
His experience serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking the right care the first time. “I thought I could save money by going overseas, but it ended up costing me more in the long run,” Brett says. “If I’d known then what I know now, I would have made a different choice.”

For Brett, the outcome has been transformative. While he acknowledges the road to recovery wasn’t easy. “I’m not constantly thinking about my teeth anymore,” he says. “It’s just nice to feel normal again.”
Brett advises others to thoroughly research their options and consult with qualified professionals. “Not everyone requires the same treatment, but it’s important to understand the available options,” he says. “In hindsight, I wish I had made the right choice from the start.”
Dr. Fibishenko agrees, emphasizing the importance of informed decisions and to do research.
Brett’s story is a cautionary tale and he shares this message to all “Look into it properly, do your own research, because it can make all the difference”.
