What are Zygomatic Implants?

Zygomatic implants are specialised dental implants designed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw where conventional implants cannot be placed. Unlike traditional implants that anchor into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are longer and secure into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a stable foundation for dental prosthetics without requiring bone grafting procedures. These implants offer an evidence-based solution for patients with atrophic maxilla, allowing for immediate loading protocols in many cases and enabling full-arch rehabilitation even in challenging cases. Zygomatic implants can be a life-changing option for patients who were previously told they weren't candidates for implant treatment, providing a faster treatment timeline and potentially lasting a lifetime with proper maintenance and regular dental check-ups.

Conditions We Treat With Zygomatic Implants

We use Zygomatic Implants to treat conditions that have shown good response to this treatment at our East Acton practice. Our experienced team assesses your specific condition to ensure Zygomatic Implants is the best choice. We provide clear information about which conditions benefit most from Zygomatic Implants treatment.


  • Severe Bone Loss in the Upper Jaw: Zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma), providing a solution for patients with significant bone deterioration in the maxilla where traditional dental implants cannot be placed.

  • Atrophic Maxilla: When the upper jawbone has deteriorated due to tooth loss, aging, or disease, zygomatic implants offer a reliable alternative to extensive bone grafting procedures.

  • Failed Previous Dental Implants: For patients who have experienced unsuccessful traditional implant treatments due to insufficient bone density, zygomatic implants provide a secondary option for oral rehabilitation.

  • Complete Upper Tooth Loss: Zygomatic implants can support full-arch dental prosthetics for patients missing all teeth in their upper jaw, restoring both function and aesthetics.

  • Post-Cancer Reconstruction: Following maxillofacial surgery for cancer treatment that may have resulted in bone loss, zygomatic implants can be part of comprehensive facial reconstruction.

  • Congenital Maxillary Defects: Patients born with underdeveloped upper jaw structures can benefit from zygomatic implant technology as part of their dental restoration plan.

  • Trauma-Related Bone Loss: After accidents or injuries affecting the upper jaw, zygomatic implants can help restore dental function without requiring extensive bone grafting.

  • Sinus-Related Complications: When enlarged sinuses or sinus conditions prevent the placement of conventional implants, zygomatic implants offer an alternative approach to tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are zygomatic implants?


Zygomatic implants are specialised dental implants designed for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional implants that are placed in the jawbone, zygomatic implants anchor into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which typically has greater density and volume. They provide a solution for patients who would otherwise require extensive bone grafting procedures before receiving conventional implants. At London Dental Specialists, our surgeons are highly trained in this advanced technique to restore full dental function.



Who is a suitable candidate for zygomatic implants?


Ideal candidates for zygomatic implants include:



  • Patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw

  • Individuals who have been told they cannot have conventional implants without bone grafting

  • Patients who have previously worn dentures for many years

  • Those who have experienced bone resorption due to periodontal disease

  • Patients seeking to avoid extensive bone grafting procedures


A thorough assessment at London Dental Specialists will determine if zygomatic implants are the right solution for your specific case.



How long do zygomatic implants last?


With proper care and maintenance, zygomatic implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implants integrate with the zygomatic bone, creating a stable and durable foundation for prosthetic teeth. To ensure maximum longevity, we recommend regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists, excellent oral hygiene practices, and following all aftercare instructions. Studies show success rates of over 95% after 10 years when patients maintain appropriate oral care routines.



What is the procedure for placing zygomatic implants?


The zygomatic implant procedure at London Dental Specialists typically involves:



  1. Comprehensive consultation and 3D CBCT scanning

  2. Treatment planning using advanced digital technology

  3. Surgery under sedation or general anaesthesia

  4. Placement of the implants into the zygomatic bone

  5. Attachment of temporary prosthetic teeth (in some cases)

  6. Healing period of 3-6 months

  7. Fitting of the final prosthetic teeth


The entire process is carefully managed by our specialist team to ensure optimal results and patient comfort.



What are the advantages of zygomatic implants compared to traditional solutions?


Zygomatic implants offer several significant advantages:



  • Elimination of the need for bone grafting procedures

  • Reduced overall treatment time (months instead of years)

  • Possibility of immediate loading with temporary teeth

  • Solution for patients previously considered unsuitable for implants

  • High success rates even in challenging cases

  • Improved quality of life compared to removable dentures


At London Dental Specialists, we specialise in providing these advanced solutions for complex cases.



What are the potential risks or complications with zygomatic implants?


While zygomatic implants have a high success rate, potential risks include:



  • Temporary facial swelling and bruising

  • Possible sinusitis or sinus complications

  • Rare nerve damage or sensory disturbances

  • Infection (though uncommon with proper care)

  • Implant failure requiring replacement (rare)


Our specialists at London Dental Specialists take extensive precautions to minimise these risks through meticulous planning, precise surgical techniques, and comprehensive aftercare.



How much do zygomatic implants cost at London Dental Specialists?


The cost of zygomatic implants varies depending on individual patient needs, the number of implants required, and the complexity of the case. While zygomatic implants represent a higher initial investment compared to traditional treatments, they often prove more cost-effective in the long term by eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures and providing a lasting solution. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation at London Dental Specialists.



What is the recovery process after zygomatic implant surgery?


Recovery after zygomatic implant surgery typically follows this timeline:



  • First 24-48 hours: Rest with minimal activity and cold compresses to reduce swelling

  • First week: Soft diet and prescribed medications for comfort

  • 2-3 weeks: Gradual return to normal diet and activities

  • 3-6 months: Osseointegration period where implants fully bond with bone


Our team at London Dental Specialists provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.



How do I maintain my zygomatic implants?


Proper maintenance of zygomatic implants includes:



  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Daily flossing and use of interdental brushes

  • Regular use of antimicrobial mouthwash as recommended

  • Professional cleaning every 3-6 months at London Dental Specialists

  • Annual comprehensive check-ups including radiographs when indicated

  • Avoiding excessive forces on implants (hard foods, teeth grinding)


Following these maintenance protocols will help ensure the longevity of your zygomatic implants and restoration.
