Zygomatic Dental Implants

If you’ve been told that you’re not a candidate for dental implant surgery or bone grafting due to significant bone loss, zygomatic implants may be the ultimate solution. ​These devices can improve your ability to chew and speak while reducing the risk of serious oral complications.

What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Zygomatic implants are a tooth replacement solution specifically designed for people who don’t qualify for traditional dental implants or bone grafting as a result of significant bone loss. Compared to traditional implants, zygomatic implants are significantly longer and can therefore be positioned further into the healthy bone, above the missing teeth. They safely integrate into the zygomatic bone, which is located in the cheekbone of the upper jaw. 

Benefits of Zygomatic Implants 

If you lack sufficient bone for traditional dental implants, zygomatic implants may provide the following benefits:  

Improved Speech 

​​​Loss of teeth can impact your ability to articulate and cause mumbling or slurring. With zygomatic implants, which resemble natural teeth, you may speak with confidence.  

Better Chewing Ability 

​​​Since zygomatic dental implants are strong and stable, they can restore your ability to chew without any issues. You’ll be able to maintain a balanced diet and enjoy all the foods you love again. 

Improved Aesthetic Appearance 

Bone loss can create a sunken look. Fortunately, zygomatic implants may restore volume to the mid-region of your face, allowing you to feel more confident in your own skin. 

Durable and Long-Lasting 

As long as you care for them properly, zygomatic dental implants can last a lifetime. You can count on them for durable support for decades.
