Zygomatic Implants in Tribeca, NYC
For patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, traditional dental implants may not be possible without extensive bone grafting. Zygomatic implants anchor directly into the cheekbone, providing a strong, stable foundation often without grafting.
Zygomatic vs. Traditional Implants
Understanding how zygomatic anchors bypass bone deterioration for a faster, more predictable smile restoration.
Traditional Dental Implants
Require sufficient upper jawbone density. When bone loss is present, treatment is frequently delayed by months of preparatory bone grafting or sinus lifts.
- • Dependent on native jawbone volume
- • Multi-stage surgical timeline
- • High risk of rejection if bone is soft
Zygomatic Dental Implants
Ideal when the jawbone is too thin or soft. Placed into the dense cheekbone (zygoma) which does not resorb the way the jawbone does, offering immediate high-stability anchoring.
- • Bypasses jawbone deterioration entirely
- • Eliminates extensive grafting in most cases
- • Faster path to a fixed functional smile
