Zygomatic Dental Implants in Brooklyn, NY

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are longer titanium implants (typically 30 to 55 mm long) placed in the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the upper jaw. This bone is denser and more stable, making it ideal for patients with significant bone loss or those who’ve had failed grafts.

These implants skip areas of poor bone and anchor securely into the cheekbone. In many cases, temporary teeth can be placed the same day, giving you immediate function and appearance while your mouth heals.

Zygomatic vs. Traditional Implants

Traditional implants go into the jawbone and require a certain amount of bone to work. If that bone is missing, grafting is usually needed first.

Zygoma dental implants skip the need for grafting and allow for a faster path to new teeth. For patients with severe bone loss, they provide a safe, effective, and time-saving solution.

Who’s a Candidate for Zygomatic Dental Implants?

You might be a good fit for zygomatic dental implants surgery if:

• You’ve lost significant bone in the upper jaw
• You’ve been told implants aren’t an option
• You want to avoid bone grafting
• You’re looking for a quicker solution
• You wear dentures and want something more permanent

A consultation with imaging (like a CT scan) will confirm if there’s enough support in your cheekbone for this procedure.
