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.
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.
You might be a good fit for zygomatic dental implants surgery if:
A consultation with imaging (like a CT scan) will confirm if there’s enough support in your cheekbone for this procedure.
Here’s what to expect:
We evaluate your bone and plan your treatment.
You’ll be sedated while the implants are placed through the gums into the cheekbones.
If the implants are stable enough, you may get a temporary prosthetic the same day.
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.
