If you’ve lost significant bone in your upper jaw — from years in dentures, gum disease, or missing teeth — you may have been turned away elsewhere or told you’d need months of bone grafting first. Zygomatic implants offer another path. Because they anchor into the solid bone of the cheekbone, they don’t depend on the jawbone that’s been lost.
For many patients, this means a full set of fixed, natural-looking teeth can be placed in far less time — sometimes in a single day — without the wait and expense of separate grafting procedures.
Zygomatic implants may be a good fit if you
- Have been told you don’t have enough bone for regular implants
- Have worn upper dentures for many years
- Want to avoid or reduce the need for bone grafting
- Are looking for permanent teeth that don’t come out
This is an advanced procedure, and it’s not the right answer for everyone — but for the patients it fits, it can be life-changing. Dr. Sadeghpour, Dr. Heravi, and Dr. Pinzon will look at your bone, your health, and your goals, and give you an honest recommendation. If a simpler option will serve you just as well, we’ll tell you.
