Zygomatic Implants
An alternative approach for a complete smile.
Restore the smile you thought was impossible
Have you been told that a complete smile is no longer within reach? That your dental situation is beyond help, and the only solution involves extensive sinus grafting and bone augmentation, requiring over a year before you can get your new teeth? At American Dental Health Providers, we specialize in overcoming these challenges with zygomatic implants. Bone loss in the upper jaw can often become too severe to replace missing teeth using conventional dental implants.
However, we offer an exceptional alternative with zygomatic dental implants, eliminating the need for bone grafting and making a full arch of new teeth possible. Our team is equipped with the experience, extensive knowledge, and expertise to manage complex dental cases with predictable results. We are trained to deliver same-day teeth, providing a transformative approach to dental care that emphasizes immediate results and patient satisfaction.
What are zygomatic implants?
Unlike conventional dental implants anchored in the jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are surgically placed in the zygomatic (cheek) bones. By utilizing the strong and stable support of the facial bones, these implants do not require jawbone alterations such as bone grafting to support a bridge of fixed teeth. Zygomatic implants represent one of the most complex procedures in implant dentistry, and only a few practitioners are trained to perform them. Our experts routinely place zygomatic dental implants backed by years of experience and successful clinical outcomes.
The benefits of zygomatic dental implants
- Provide the same strength, stability, and beauty as traditional implants
- No bone grafts are required, saving you time and money
- More comfortable healing process than traditional implants
- Highly effective alternative for patients who aren't eligible for conventional implants
- Less invasive than bone graft surgery paired with implant placement
What to expect from the zygomatic implant process
Zygomatic dental implants might sound more invasive than conventional treatments. Still, they can be placed in a single surgical procedure without the need for additional bone grafting, all while you are under anesthesia. Our trained staff will utilize 3D cone-beam CT scans to plan your treatment before you arrive.
Your implants will be placed strategically within your bone during the procedure to ensure maximum stability. This process may also involve placing conventional dental implants in areas where your jawbone is most dense. Since no bone grafting is required, we can often complete your treatment faster, giving you a functional, beautiful new smile faster than traditional methods.

Are zygomatic implants as strong as regular implants?
They provide the same strength, stability, and beauty as traditional implants, while using the strong and stable support of the facial bones.
How long does treatment take?
Since no bone grafting is required, we can often complete your treatment faster, giving you a functional, beautiful new smile faster than traditional methods. They can be placed in a single surgical procedure while you are under anesthesia.
