Zygomatic dental implants anchor into the cheekbone instead of the jawbone, making permanent upper teeth possible for patients with severe bone loss who were previously told they weren’t candidates for implants. This technique eliminates the need for lengthy bone grafting procedures and often allows patients to receive their new teeth on the same day as surgery.
Zygomatic implants offer hope for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who can’t receive traditional All-on-4 or All-on-X implants. Instead of placing implants in the jawbone, these specialized implants anchor directly into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone), which provides exceptionally strong support. The dense cheekbone creates such a stable foundation that patients often receive their new teeth on the same day as surgery, without needing bone grafting procedures that can take months to heal. This advanced technique requires exceptional skill, and only a select few doctors nationwide can perform it. Smart Arches is among the leading providers of this specialized treatment.

When patients are told by other centers that they do not have enough bone for dental implants, our expert surgeons are able to achieve success for them because they are experienced in the most complex cases where zygomatic implants are required, omitting unnecessary bone grafting.
Zygomatic implants are specially designed implants, longer than conventional implants, that are anchored in the dense bone of cheek bones (Zygoma) to support upper teeth and bridges. Our dental surgeons specialize in this procedure and can typically send a patient home with a new set of teeth the very next day.
We begin with advanced 3D CBCT scans to create a detailed surgical plan, ensuring each implant is placed with pinpoint accuracy before we even begin the procedure.
During the procedure, we place specialized long implants directly into the dense zygomatic bone near your cheekbone. This approach typically combines two zygomatic implants, one on each side of your upper jaw, with two to four traditional implants positioned toward the front where your upper front teeth were located. If you have any remaining teeth that need removal, we can extract them during the same surgery, eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
The combination of zygomatic and traditional implants creates an exceptionally stable foundation for your upper bridge. Unlike regular jawbone that can deteriorate over time, the cheekbone maintains its density and strength. This allows us to place your new teeth on the same day as surgery in most cases, giving you an immediate transformation. Once the implants fuse with the bone, you’ll have a durable, functional smile that can last for decades.
