If you’ve been deemed unsuitable for implants by other offices, consider getting a second opinion with us!
What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?
Zygomatic dental implants are a specialized solution for individuals suffering from bone loss. Unlike traditional dental implants, which are shorter and anchored in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are longer and anchored securely in the cheekbone, known as the zygoma. This design leverages the dense structure of the zygoma as the implant's support, providing a robust and long-lasting solution to missing teeth without further compromising the patient's jaw. Compared to traditional bone-grafting techniques, zygomatic implants offer a quicker and more cost-effective solution.

Zygomatic Implants vs. Bone Grafting: Making the Right Choice
If you've been deemed unsuitable for dental implants due to severe bone loss, Zygomatic Implants at Keys Dental Specialists could be your solution. Historically, the options for patients with upper jawbone loss were limited to bone grafts, which required a lengthy waiting period of 6-12 months, had a longer healing process, and represented a lower success rate. Zygomatic Implants allow for teeth placement on the same day as the procedure, boasting an impressive 97% success rate. This reliable solution attracts patients from around the globe to the specialized clinics that can offer it.
Benefits of Zygomatic Implants
No Requirement for Preparatory Treatment.
Experiencing jawbone loss? Traditional implants might require bone grafts or sinus lifts. However, zygomatic implants eliminate preparatory procedures by using the cheekbones for support.
Reduced Treatment Time
Bone grafts and sinus lifts may require healing periods of six months or longer. However, zygomatic implants do not require preparatory treatments and can significantly reduce treatment times.
Immediately Restored Function
Temporary teeth will be attached to the implants after your zygomatic implant procedure, giving you a full set of functional teeth while you heal. In as little as 12 weeks, you can return to one of our offices for your permanent prosthetic attachment.
High Success Rates
Like normal dental implants, zygomatic implants have extremely high success rates. The success rate is estimated to be approximately 97%, making them a safe and long-lasting tooth replacement option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are zygomatic implants?
Zygomatic implants are similar to regular dental implants, but they differ in length and location. Instead of the jaw or skull, they are anchored in the dense cheekbone for support.
How do zygomatic implants differ from standard implants?
Zygomatic implants are used exclusively in the upper jaw (maxilla) for patients with significant bone loss, making them unsuitable for regular implants. A unique feature is that the dental component (such as a fixed denture) is delivered on the same day as the surgical installation, offering an immediate functional transformation.
Who is a suitable candidate for zygomatic implants?
If you've been denied a traditional dental implant due to significant bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants might be suitable for you. They utilize the zygomatic bones for support instead of relying on the jawbone, allowing the dentist to insert the implants without costly preparatory procedures.
What makes zygomatic implants effective?
The density of the zygomatic bone provides stable and predictable support for the implants, allowing them to securely hold the dental component in the presence of bone loss in the jaw.
Why opt for a zygomatic implant?
While not commonly offered, zygomatic implants have been around for over 20 years. Due to the complexity of the implant procedure, they require experts specialized in this unique treatment. However, they provide those with extenuating circumstances, such as low jawbone density due to prolonged tooth loss, the chance to receive high-functioning permanent dental implants.
Is the procedure more painful than standard implants?
While there might be more swelling compared to standard implants, the pain level is similar. Pain can be managed with over-the-counter medication or prescriptions.
