Zygoma dental implants
Providing functional solutions for patients with little bone mass in their upper jaw
What are Zygoma Dental Implants?
Zygoma dental implants are special implants that don’t need to fuse directly to the jawbone. Instead, they extend further and attach to the cheekbones (zygoma). They are usually recommended when there is not enough jawbone for regular dental implants.
Bone loss in the upper jaw can be exacerbated over time by teeth extraction and wearing dentures. Zygoma dental implants also reduce the reliance on potentially painful and invasive bone grafting procedures.
Other forms of dental implant procedures, including bone grafts, require up to 6 months of healing and downtime to fully work. Zygoma dental implants are less invasive, and require far less healing time.

How do Zygoma Dental Implants work?
Traditionally, replacing the majority of teeth in the mouth would require bone grafting, multiple implants, and up to a year of healing time. Permanent teeth would only be fitted after this healing period, resulting in a very long, unpleasant and expensive experience for patients.
Zygoma dental implants are directly anchored to the zygoma bone—the bone at the front of the skull that makes up the upper cheekbones.
- The patient will undergo initial appointments to determine their suitability for zygoma dental implants.
- Zygoma dental implants are inserted into the rear of the mouth.
- If there is enough bone mass, conventional implants will be used in the front of the mouth.
- If there is not enough bone density in the upper jaw, four zygoma dental implants will be used.
Due to the extensive nature of the procedure, it may take up to four months for patients to completely recover from zygoma dental implant procedures. However, the final result is well worth the wait—a full set of aesthetically pleasing, functional teeth.
Who is suitable for Zygoma Dental Implants?
Zygoma dental implants are suitable for patients who have suffered extensive damage to the upper jaw bone. Patients eligible for this procedure may:
- Have exhibited severe maxillary bone loss
- Not be candidates for traditional dental implants
- Require fast, painless dental implant solutions
- Exhibit an aversion to bone grafting procedures
