Understanding Zygoma Implants
Zygoma implants are specially designed implants anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the upper jaw. They were developed for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss, giving them the chance to have fixed teeth when conventional implants are not possible.
Typical Candidates for Zygoma Implants
You may be the right candidate if you:
Have severe bone loss in the upper jaw
Have been told you are “not suitable” for traditional implants
Have tried or failed with bone grafts or sinus lifts
Want a fixed, permanent solution instead of dentures
Desire faster results, often with immediate fixed teeth
Where the implants placed prevoiusly have failed

Medical & Oral Health Requirements
Good overall health to undergo oral surgery
No uncontrolled systemic conditions (like diabetes or heart disease)
Healthy gums and commitment to oral hygiene
Non-smoker (or willing to quit), since smoking reduces implant success rates
Who May Not Be a Candidate?
Patients with untreated gum disease
People unwilling to maintain oral hygiene and follow-ups
Those with certain uncontrolled medical conditions
Patients expecting removable “quick fixes” instead of permanent solutions
The Evaluation Process
At YOUR DENTIST, every patient undergoes a detailed CBCT scan and consultation to determine candidacy. This advanced imaging helps us assess bone quality, cheekbone strength, and overall oral health before recommending Zygoma implants.
Why Zygoma Implants Change Lives
For patients once told there was “no option,” Zygoma implants provide a second chance. They restore chewing ability, speech, and self-confidence — with results that can last decades.
