Discover Your New Smile with Zygomatic Implants

Have you been longing for a brand-new smile, but traditional dental implant procedures aren’t an option for you? Zygomatic implants could be your answer, especially if you’ve suffered severe bone loss due to past periodontal disease or prolonged denture use. Instead of relying on the bone that supports natural teeth, these dental implants utilize adjacent bones to your tooth roots, providing a highly successful solution for Los Angeles patients needing more complex smile reconstruction surgery.

A Unique Approach to Implants

Zygomatic implants provide an alternative for those with missing teeth and severe bone loss who still desire the benefits of dental implants. Unlike traditional implants that attach to your maxilla (upper jawbone), Zygomatic implants are anchored to your cheekbones (zygomatic arch). These implants are physically longer, allowing them to be placed at an angle rather than straight up or down, akin to anatomical tooth roots. Once integrated, they can support full-arch restorations such as “All on-4” or “All on-6” systems.

The Perfect Solution for Challenging Dental Needs

Often, dental bone grafts are needed to strengthen areas that cannot support a full implant design. However, even with grafts, excessive bone loss may render traditional implant treatment unfeasible.

For those who have worn traditional dentures for many years, moderate bone loss in the supporting jawbone is likely. If you’ve been without upper teeth for an extended period, traditional implants may not be an option. Zygomatic implants, however, allow for full mouth rehabilitation using full-arch implants. These designs bypass the sinus cavity entirely, utilizing the zygomatic bones (cheekbones) in a graftless procedure.

If you’ve yearned for dental implants but lack sufficient bone or require a sinus lift, Zygomatic implants can be a game-changer. Without the restrictions of conventional implants, they can be installed in dense bone for predictable results, even with inadequate jawbone mass.

Comparing Implant Options: Traditional vs. Zygomatic

Traditional dental implants resemble natural tooth roots in shape and size, and are placed in the jawbone like natural teeth. In most cases, these are the implants used by our board-certified periodontists, Dr. Aalam and Dr. Krivitsky. However, not everyone qualifies for traditional dental implants.

Zygomatic implants differ in design and placement. Longer than natural tooth roots, they reach beyond the arch of your smile into the zygomatic bone of your cheekbones, making them suitable for those who can’t have traditional implants due to bone loss.

Zygomatic Implants: Ideal for Upper Jaw Restoration

Zygomatic implants are placed at an angle, reaching into the cheekbone (zygomatic arch) rather than the typical implant location. They’re ideal for people with upper jaw bone loss who still want implant placement. At more than twice the length of traditional implants, they can utilize your upper jaw bones (maxilla) for support without extra bone grafting. However, Zygomatic dental implants can only be used in the upper jaw and are recommended for patients who have been told they need sinus lifts or don’t otherwise qualify for implants.
