Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Zygomatic implants at London Dental Specialists: Our Dental Clinic in London, England, United Kingdom, offers an advanced solution for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. These specialised implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone), providing a secure foundation for full-arch teeth replacement when traditional dental implants aren't viable. Unlike conventional treatments that may require extensive bone grafting, zygomatic implants can often support immediate tooth replacement, helping you restore both function and confidence more quickly.
Our experienced surgical team utilises state-of-the-art 3D imaging and precise surgical protocols to place these longer implants, which measure between 30-52.5mm, through the maxillary sinus and into the dense zygomatic bone. This innovative technique, pioneered by Professor Brånemark in the 1990s, has transformed treatment options for patients previously told they weren't suitable for dental implants. Whether you've experienced bone loss due to age, previous dental issues, or other factors, zygomatic implants could provide the permanent solution you've been seeking.

Zygomatic implants are specialised dental implants that anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) rather than the upper jaw, providing a solution for patients with significant bone loss in their upper jaw. These innovative implants are particularly suitable for individuals who have been told they cannot have conventional dental implants due to insufficient bone density, whether from natural aging, previous extractions, or medical conditions.
These advanced implants are ideal candidates for patients who have experienced severe bone loss in their upper jaw and want to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures. They're especially beneficial for those who have previously worn dentures for many years, resulting in significant bone deterioration, or individuals who have experienced trauma or disease affecting their upper jaw bone structure.
At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive aftercare support with a 10-year warranty on our zygomatic implants. Post-treatment care typically involves:
The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours under general anaesthesia, with most patients able to return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Temporary teeth can often be fitted immediately, with permanent teeth usually placed after 3-6 months of healing.
Zygomatic implant procedures involve placing specialized dental implants that anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) rather than the upper jaw. This advanced treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who lack sufficient bone in their upper jaw for traditional dental implants. The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours under general anaesthesia, where the surgeon places the implants through the upper jaw into the dense cheekbone structure.
During treatment, patients can expect several stages: initial consultation with 3D scanning, the surgical procedure itself, and a recovery period of about 2-3 weeks. Many patients can have temporary teeth fitted immediately after surgery, with permanent teeth usually placed after 3-6 months of healing.
With our 10-year warranty, patients can feel confident about their long-term dental solution. Post-treatment care includes maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular check-ups to ensure the implants' longevity.
Recovery from zygomatic implant surgery typically takes 4-6 weeks for initial healing, though complete osseointegration occurs over 4-6 months. The immediate post-operative period requires 2-3 days of rest, with most patients returning to light activities within a week. Swelling and discomfort peak around day 3 and gradually subside over the following weeks.
The aftercare process involves careful oral hygiene maintenance and following specific post-operative instructions. Patients receive temporary prosthetics during the healing phase while the implants integrate with the zygomatic bone, allowing for normal daily function.
London Dental Specialists provide comprehensive aftercare support and a 10-year warranty on all zygomatic implants, ensuring long-term success of your treatment.
Zygomatic implants offer significant advantages over traditional dental implants, particularly for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. These specialised implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) rather than the upper jawbone, eliminating the need for extensive bone grafting procedures and providing immediate support for full arch rehabilitation.
The primary benefit of zygomatic implants is their ability to provide a fixed teeth solution for patients who were previously told they weren't suitable for traditional implants. Unlike conventional implants, they can be placed immediately, often allowing for same-day teeth replacement without waiting months for bone grafts to heal.
Post-treatment care is straightforward, with patients receiving comprehensive support and guidance. London Dental Specialists provide a 10-year warranty on all zygomatic implants, ensuring peace of mind for patients choosing this advanced solution.

Zygomatic implants, while generally safe and effective, come with specific risks and complications that patients should carefully consider. The main potential complications include temporary or permanent numbness in the cheek area, sinus infections, and possible soft tissue irritation around the implant site. These risks are particularly relevant due to the implant's placement through the maxillary sinus and into the cheekbone.
Post-operative swelling and bruising are common temporary side effects that typically resolve within 2-3 weeks. More serious but rare complications can include infection at the implant site, implant mobility, or speech difficulties during the initial adjustment period.

Before starting zygomatic implant treatment, a comprehensive assessment including detailed 3D CBCT scans and clinical examination is essential. This initial evaluation helps determine bone quality in both the upper jaw and cheekbone areas, while also mapping out vital structures like nerves and sinuses that must be considered during treatment planning.
At London Dental Specialists, our pre-treatment protocol involves detailed facial and dental photographs, digital impressions, and blood tests to ensure you're suitable for the procedure. The CBCT scan provides precise measurements of your bone structure and helps create a customised surgical guide for optimal implant placement.
Following these assessments, our specialists will create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, supported by our 10-year warranty on dental implants.
