These extra-long implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) — a dense, stable structure that provides strong support for new teeth. In many cases, zygomatic implants can be placed without the need for extensive bone grafting. However, they may also be used in combination with bone grafts, block grafts, or soft tissue grafts, depending on the patient’s anatomy and treatment goals. This flexibility allows clinicians to rebuild both function and aesthetics, even in complex cases.

Zygomatic implants are often part of a full arch restoration, helping patients transition from dentures or failing teeth to a fixed, natural-looking smile. The procedure is highly specialized and requires advanced surgical planning, but the results can be life-changing — restoring confidence, comfort, and chewing ability.
