Zygomatic Dental Implants

A reliable dental implant option for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss—no bone grafting required.

Advanced Full-Arch Implant Placement for Complex Cases

Zygomatic implants are ideal for patients with insufficient bone in the upper jaw who have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants. This technique offers immediate, fixed teeth without the need for bone grafting, allowing for faster recovery and long-lasting results.
If you’ve been told that you’re not a candidate for conventional implants or that dentures are your only choice, zygomatic implants may be the ideal solution. These specialized implants, also called rescue implants, provide an option when there’s not enough bone in the upper jaw to support traditional implants.

A Bone Grafting Alternative

For patients experiencing significant bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants offer an alternative to bone grafting. These implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma), allowing immediate placement of a non-removable dental appliance. Because the procedure does not require bone grafts, the overall treatment and healing time is significantly reduced.

Zygomatic Implant Process

At Cherry Street Oral & Facial Surgery, we begin with a comprehensive consultation using advanced imaging like CBCT scans. This allows us to plan every detail of your treatment in 3D. During surgery, we place long implants into the zygomatic bone, often along with two to four traditional implants in the front of the upper jaw. If extractions are needed, they can typically be completed during the same procedure.

Who Can Place Zygomatic Implants?

This advanced surgical technique requires a high level of skill and training. At Cherry Street Oral & Facial Surgery, our team is formally trained and experienced in zygomatic implant placement, ensuring safe and accurate results.

Does Zygomatic Implant Surgery Hurt?

Your comfort is a priority. We use IV sedation and special anti-inflammatory medications to minimize discomfort. Recovery is generally smoother than patients expect. Any mild pain or bruising is usually managed with over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

Our team is proud to offer zygomatic implants to individuals who have experienced significant bone loss in the upper jaw and need a dependable alternative to traditional implants. These implants have been used successfully for decades and are backed by long-term clinical success.
