What Are Zygoma Implants?
Restore Your Smile. Reclaim Your Confidence.
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we specialize in advanced implantology solutions like Zygoma Implants—a breakthrough for patients with severe upper jawbone loss.
Zygoma implants are specially designed long implants anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the maxillary jawbone. The zygomatic bone is denser and more stable, making it an ideal foundation when the upper jaw has insufficient bone volume to support traditional implants.
These implants are most commonly used in full-arch rehabilitations—much like All-on-4 or All-on-6—but are specifically meant for individuals who have severe bone resorption, often due to long-term missing teeth, periodontal disease, or failed previous implants.
🦷 Ideal for Patients with Severe Bone Loss
🦷 Bypasses the Need for Bone Grafts or Sinus Lifts
🦷 Provides Immediate Support for Fixed Teeth
🦷 Safe, Proven, and Long-Lasting Solution
Due to the complexity and precision involved, Zygoma implant placement is performed only by trained and experienced implant surgeons. At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, our implant team is equipped with the technology, expertise, and surgical skill to handle such advanced procedures with care and confidence.
🦷When Should You Consider Zygoma Implants
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, Zygoma Implants are recommended for patients who lack sufficient bone in the upper jaw and are not suitable candidates for sinus lift or bone grafting procedures.
You may be the right candidate for zygomatic implants if:
🦷 You have severe bone loss in the upper jaw (maxilla)
🦷 You have been told that traditional implants are not possible due to low bone density or height
🦷 You want to avoid bone grafting or sinus lift surgery
🦷 You are looking for a permanent, stable, and immediate solution for full-arch rehabilitation
Zygoma implants provide excellent support for fixed prosthetics by anchoring directly into the cheekbone, which offers strong and reliable bone for implant integration. This makes them an ideal choice for patients seeking advanced full-mouth dental solutions without extended surgical recovery times.
Signs You May Need Zygoma Implants
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we recommend Zygoma Implants for patients with complex dental conditions that prevent the placement of traditional implants. If you relate to any of the signs below, you might be an ideal candidate:
Severe Upper Jaw Bone Loss
If you’ve experienced extensive bone resorption due to periodontal disease, long-term tooth loss, or trauma, zygoma implants can bypass the need for bone grafts by anchoring directly into the cheekbone.
Previous Implant Failure
If you’ve had dental implants fail in the upper jaw due to insufficient bone support, Zygoma implants offer a stronger, more reliable alternative.
Multiple Missing Teeth in the Upper Arch
For those with several or all missing teeth in the upper jaw and minimal bone availability, Zygoma implants offer a stable, fixed solution without additional surgical procedures.
Compromised Dental Health or Gum Disease
Patients with poor oral health history or chronic gum disease may find Zygoma implants a more feasible and lasting solution, especially when traditional options aren’t viable.
