Zygomatic Implants
Been Told You Can’t Have
Implants? Think Again!
“You don’t have enough bone for implants.”
“You’ll have to stick with dentures.”
“There’s nothing that can be done.”
If you’ve heard any of these statements while shopping around for implants, here’s the good news you’ve been waiting for. For patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants are nothing short of revolutionary. While traditional implants need adequate jaw bone for support, zygomatic implants anchor into your cheekbone instead—providing rock-solid support for a full set of new teeth even when conventional implants aren’t possible.
Think of them as nature’s backup plan: When your upper jaw can’t support regular implants, your strong, dense cheekbone provides an alternative foundation for a complete smile restoration.
Introducing Zygomatic Implants
When I explain zygomatic implants to my patients, I often start with a simple analogy: Imagine your face as a house.
While traditional implants are like building a foundation in soft garden soil (your jawbone), zygomatic implants are like anchoring into the solid bedrock (your cheekbone). This natural ‘bedrock’ provides exceptional stability, even when conventional implants aren’t possible.
How They Work
Zygomatic implants are longer than conventional implants and specially designed to anchor into your cheekbone (zygoma)—one of the strongest bones in your face. While traditional implants need adequate jawbone for support, zygomatic implants bypass this requirement entirely, using your cheekbone’s dense, stable structure instead.
I typically place just four implants—two conventional implants at the front of your jaw, where bone density is usually better, and two zygomatic implants reaching up into your cheekbones.
This combination provides rock-solid support for a complete set of new teeth.
Meet Your Zygomatic Implant Expert
Having trained with some of the wor’ds foremost experts on advanced implant techniques, I’ve mastered the art and science of zygomatic implants. This complex technique requires extensive training and experience—which is why so few clinicians offer it.
Today, I’ve successfully treated hundreds of patients who were previously told implants were impossible.
Your Journey
While zygomatic implants are one of dentistry’s most advanced procedures, I’ve refined every step to make your experience as comfortable and predictable as possible. After guiding hundreds of patients through this transformation, I’ve developed a clear pathway that takes you from your first consultation to your final smile.
Your Consultation
Your transformation begins with an in-depth consultation where we’ll explore your concerns, hopes, and goals together.
Using state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology, I’ll get a detailed picture of your oral structure that helps me understand exactly how I can help.
We’ll discuss your treatment options in detail, and I’ll explain every aspect of the zygomatic implant procedure. This is your time to ask questions, share concerns, and understand both the investment required and the life-changing results possible.
Treatment Planning
Once you’ve decided to proceed, I’ll create your personalised treatment plan using advanced computer-guided technology and my Bio-Optimisation™ protocol. This isn’t just about placing implants—it’s about designing your perfect smile. Every aspect of your treatment is meticulously planned using digital software to ensure precise implant positioning and optimal aesthetic results.
My master technicians will begin crafting your new teeth, and we’ll schedule your treatment day at a time that works best for you.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before your treatment day, I’ll personally ensure everything is in place for a smooth, comfortable experience.
You’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions and complete any necessary medical checks. You’ll also meet your dedicated treatment coordinator who’ll be your point of contact throughout your journey.
We’ll discuss sedation options if desired and ensure you have proper support arranged for treatment day, including transportation home.
Your Treatment Day
The day you’ve been waiting for will begin with a warm welcome from my team. If you’ve opted for sedation, I’ll ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
Using computer-guided precision, I’ll place your zygomatic implants and fit your fixed temporary teeth. While it’s a significant procedure, most patients are surprised by how comfortable they feel.
You’ll be able to return home the same day with your new smile, though you’ll need someone to drive you if you’ve had sedation.
Initial Recovery
The first week after treatment is crucial for optimal healing. You’ll have clear instructions for post-operative care, including medication schedules and dietary recommendations.
My team and I will check on you regularly by phone, and you’ll return for a review appointment after seven days.
While you’ll need to stick to soft foods initially, you’ll already be enjoying the benefits of fixed teeth—no more loose dentures or gaps in your smile.
The Healing Phase
Over the next few months, while your permanent teeth are being crafted, you’ll be able to enjoy life with your fixed temporary teeth.
You’ll gradually return to normal eating as healing progresses, and I’ll guide you through maintaining perfect oral hygiene.
Regular review appointments let us monitor your progress and ensure everything is healing beautifully. Most patients find their confidence growing daily as they adjust to their new smile.
Say Hi to Your New Smile!
After healing is complete, it’s time for the exciting final step—fitting your permanent teeth. I’ll remove your temporary restoration and try your permanent one, making any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect comfort and aesthetics.
You’ll receive detailed care instructions to protect your investment and leave with a confident, natural-looking smile you’ll love.
