How Zygomatic Implants Work?

If you've been told you can't get dental implants because of bone loss in your upper jaw, there's good news. Zygomatic implants are a special type of implant that don’t need strong jawbone support. Instead, they’re placed into the cheekbone (called the zygomatic bone), which is naturally strong and stable.


This means you can avoid long, complicated treatments like bone grafting, which usually require several surgeries and months of healing. With zygomatic implants, many patients can get their new teeth faster—sometimes even on the same day as the surgery.

They’re a great option for people who’ve worn dentures for years or lost bone due to gum disease. You’ll get a fixed, secure smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, and lets you eat with confidence again.

Are Zygomatic Implants Right for You?

Zygomatic implants are a powerful solution for patients who face challenges with traditional dental implants. They may be especially suitable if you:

Have Severe Upper Jaw Bone Loss 

  • Traditional implants may not be possible due to bone deterioration. Zygomatic implants bypass this issue by anchoring in the cheekbone.

Have Had Unsuccessful Bone Grafting or Implant Attempts 

  • If previous procedures failed, zygomatic implants offer a reliable alternative without the need for repeated grafting.

Want to Avoid Extensive, Lengthy Bone Grafting Surgeries

  • These implants reduce treatment time and complexity, helping you avoid long recovery periods.

Need a Stable Anchor for a Fixed, Full-Arch Set of Upper Teeth 

  • They provide strong support for full upper restorations, even in cases of severe bone loss.
