ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS
A SOLUTION FOR SEVERE UPPER JAW BONE LOSS
For patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, traditional implants may not be a viable option. Zygomatic
implants offer an advanced alternative by anchoring to the dense zygomatic (cheek) bone, providing a stable
foundation for full-arch restorations.
At Natural Teeth Implant Center, we specialize in this innovative technique,
helping patients regain a functional, confident smile—even when traditional implants are not possible.
WHAT ARE ZYGOMATIC
IMPLANTS?
Zygomatic implants are an advanced solution for patients with severe upper jawbone loss. Unlike traditional implants, they are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which provides a strong, stable foundation for implant-supported restorations. This technique eliminates the need for bone grafting, making it a reliable option for those who may not qualify for conventional implants.
BENEFITS OF ZYGOMATIC
IMPLANTS
Benefits of CBCT Imaging:
- Ideal for Patients with Upper Jaw Bone Loss: By anchoring directly to the cheekbone, zygomatic implants eliminate the need for bone grafting, making them a great option for those who may not qualify for traditional implants.
- Reduced Treatment Time: Since bone grafting isn’t required, the overall treatment process is often faster, allowing patients to receive their final restorations sooner.
- Strong, Long-Lasting Support: The zygomatic bone provides exceptional stability, ensuring a secure fit for full-arch restorations, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Natural Look and Feel: Designed to support lifelike restorations that blend seamlessly with your facial structure, zygomatic implants restore both function and aesthetics for a natural-looking smile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT
ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS
How are zygomatic implants different from traditional implants?
Zygomatic implants are longer and anchored in the cheekbone, rather than the jawbone, allowing them to bypass areas of bone loss in the upper jaw. This provides a stable foundation without the need for bone grafting.
Is the zygomatic implant procedure painful?
We prioritize patient comfort and offer multiple sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and we provide thorough post-care instructions to support a smooth recovery.
What is the recovery time for zygomatic implants?
The recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can expect a healing period of several months for the implants to fully integrate before the final restoration is placed.
Are zygomatic implants permanent?
Yes, zygomatic implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution. With proper care, they can provide a stable foundation for many years.
Will zygomatic implants look and feel natural?
Absolutely. Zygomatic implants support restorations that are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy a seamless, comfortable, and natural-looking smile.
