Zygomatic Implants

Overview

Zygomatic implants are longer than standard dental implants and anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) instead of the upper jaw. This makes them an option for patients whose upper jaw has lost too much bone for conventional implants — or even All-on-4 — to be placed safely.

Because the zygomatic bone is dense and rarely affected by the bone loss that follows tooth loss, it offers a stable anchor point without needing a bone graft or sinus lift first, which can otherwise add months to treatment.

Who it's for

• You've been told you don't have enough upper jawbone for standard implants or All-on-4
• A previous bone graft failed, or you'd prefer to avoid a graft and its extra healing time
• You wear an upper denture and want a fixed, non-removable alternative

What to expect

1. 3D CT scan to assess your cheekbone and plan implant trajectory precisely
2. Surgical placement of the zygomatic implants, typically under general or deep sedation given the complexity
3. A fixed temporary bridge is often attached the same day
4. Final, permanent bridge fitted once healing is confirmed

Why choose us

Zygomatic cases require surgical precision most general implant dentists don't perform routinely. Our surgical team plans each case on 3D imaging beforehand. Implants carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty, plus our 10-year clinic warranty on the treatment.
