Zygomatic implants are specialised dental implants that are significantly longer than traditional options. They are surgically embedded in the cheekbone, known in medical terminology as the zygomatic bone, especially in cases where there is insufficient bone tissue in the upper jaw to support regular implants. By utilising zygomatic implants, dental professionals can effectively address complex situations, allowing patients to enjoy the stability and functionality of fixed teeth, even in challenging scenarios that may have previously seemed impossible to resolve. This innovative approach significantly enhances the quality of life for those with severe bone loss in the upper jaw.

At Amma Naana Dental Clinic, we’re proud to offer zygomatic implants, an innovative solution for patients who lack sufficient bone density or height for traditional dental implants. This advanced treatment option is particularly beneficial for replacing teeth in the upper jaw and can be used in combination with conventional implants, depending on the patient’s unique circumstances.
During your initial assessment for dental implants, Dr. Vishnu Priya carefully evaluates your bone mass to ensure it can adequately support and fuse with the implants. In cases where bone mass is insufficient, traditional approaches often require a sinus lift procedure. This involves artificially thickening the bone between the oral and sinus cavities to protect the sinuses and provide additional support for implants. However, this process typically necessitates a separate surgery and recovery period before implant placement.
Zygomatic implants offer a groundbreaking alternative. Instead of relying on the jawbone, these specialised implants are anchored into the cheekbone, also known as the zygomatic bone. This innovative approach eliminates the need for additional bone grafting procedures, allowing patients with inadequate jawbone mass to still benefit from secure, permanent tooth replacement. At Amma Naana Dental Clinic, we’re excited to provide this cutting-edge solution, offering hope and restored smiles to patients who previously may not have been candidates for dental implants.
As with all dental implant procedures, the zygomatic implant treatment begins with a comprehensive examination of your mouth. This assessment helps determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs. During your initial consultation at our London dental practice, your dentist will discuss your dental hygiene routine and medical history before conducting a detailed inspection of the areas requiring treatment.
To ensure precise implant placement and sizing, we will take photographs, create stone plaster models of your teeth, and conduct a three-dimensional X-ray (CBCT). This information is crucial for accurately planning the implant placement, and the virtual positioning of the newly designed teeth in the 3D model serves as a guide, which is then transferred into a drilling template.
If your dentist determines that zygomatic implants are the best option for you, an appointment will be scheduled for your treatment. During this visit, your dentist will explain the procedure in detail, what you can expect, and how to prepare for the treatment as well as the post-operative care.
On the day of your treatment, you will arrive at our central London clinic, where our reception team will warmly welcome you. Your dental surgeon will confirm that you are comfortable with the procedure and in good health before proceeding. To ensure your comfort, you will likely receive sedation to prevent any pain during the treatment.
The entire process can take up to seven hours, which includes approximately four hours of active treatment, two hours of monitored recovery, and one hour for placing a temporary denture on the same day. The treatment involves securing a replacement bridge using four dental implants. The zygomatic implants, which are longer in length, are surgically anchored into the cheekbone. After placing the zygomatic implants, we transfer the implant positioning onto a stone plaster model through an impression.
Our skilled dental technicians will then construct a bridge that can be attached to the newly placed implants. Thanks to the dense bone tissue of the zygomatic bone, the implants and restoration can often be used right after surgery, although only soft foods are recommended initially.
Once your procedure is completed by our implantology specialist, you will spend about an hour in recovery to ensure your well-being before you leave. Most zygomatic implant procedures can be performed in a single day, allowing you to quickly move forward with your new smile.

Zygomatic implants are specialised, longer dental implants anchored to your cheekbone. Your dentist may recommend zygomatic implants if your bone tissue or mass is insufficient to support traditional dental implants. This situation is often seen in older patients who have used removable dentures for an extended period and have experienced some jawbone loss, yet still wish to receive dental implants.
In essence, both dental and zygomatic implants are suitable for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to damage, disease, or decay and are looking to replace those teeth with natural-looking implants.
If your dentist believes that zygomatic implants may be the better option for you, it may be because they want to avoid more conventional methods for addressing low bone density. Traditional procedures, such as bone grafting—which involves taking bone from another area to support the implant—can take up to six months for recovery and may require multiple surgeries. In contrast, zygomatic implant treatment allows your dentist to achieve similar outcomes in just one procedure, streamlining the process and reducing recovery time.
