Zygomatic Dental Implants in Brooklyn, NY

Zygomatic Implants could be an option if you've been told you're not a candidate for traditional dental implants due to severe bone loss. These implants are designed for people who don’t have enough upper jawbone (atrophic edentulous maxilla) for standard implants, offering a strong and reliable alternative. At LuxDen, Dr. Umanoff and his team specialize in advanced solutions like zygomatic dental implants to restore full function and confidence. With in-house CBCT 3D imaging, we ensure accurate planning and predictable results.

    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.

    Zygomatic vs. Traditional Implants

    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.

    The Zygomatic Dental Implants Treatment Process

    Here’s what to expect:

    Consultation & Imaging

    We evaluate your bone and plan your treatment.

    Surgery

    You’ll be sedated while the implants are placed through the gums into the cheekbones.

    Temporary Teeth

    If the implants are stable enough, you may get a temporary prosthetic the same day.

    Healing

    Most people return to normal activity within days. Permanent teeth are placed after a few months.

    We’ll guide you through every step with detailed post-op care and ongoing support.
