What Are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are advanced dental implants designed for patients with significant upper jaw bone loss who are not suitable candidates for traditional implants. Unlike standard implants that are placed in the jawbone, Zygomatic implants are anchored in the dense bone of the cheekbone (Zygomatic), providing a stable and long-lasting foundation for a full set of upper teeth. At Wayne Oral Surgery, Dr. Gary Wayne offers Zygomatic implants as a life-changing solution for patients seeking secure, fixed teeth without the need for extensive bone grafting. This technique offers renewed confidence, improved function, and a faster path to full-mouth restoration. To learn more about Zygomatic implants, contact our Boca Raton, FL office to schedule a consultation.
What Is the Treatment Process for Getting Zygomatic Implants?
The treatment process for getting Zygomatic implants begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes advanced imaging, such as 3D CT scans, to assess bone structure and plan the precise placement of the implants. Because Zygomatic implants are longer than traditional implants and anchored into the cheekbone, the procedure is more complex, taking between 2 – 4 hours, and typically performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation to ensure patient comfort. During the surgery, the implants are placed at an angle through the upper jaw and into the Zygomatictic bone, bypassing areas of bone loss. In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be placed the same day, allowing patients to leave with a functional smile. Over the next several months, the implants integrate with the bone, and a final, custom set of prosthetic teeth is attached, restoring full function and aesthetics without the need for bone grafting.
What Are the Benefits of Zygomatic Implants?

I had been putting off having my wisdom teeth removed for seven years because I was so anxious about the procedure. I'm so glad I finally chose this clinic.The entire team is incredibly friendly, kind, and understanding. From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel comfortable and well cared for.The doctor is not only highly skilled and professional but also genuinely compassionate and reassuring.While wisdom tooth extraction is never a pleasant experience, this amazing team did everything they could to make it as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Thank you all so much.

Am I A Candidate For Zygomatic Implants?
Candidates for Zygomatic implants are typically individuals who have been told they lack sufficient bone in their upper jaw to support traditional dental implants. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including long-term tooth loss, periodontal disease, or trauma. Ideal candidates often include those who are currently wearing dentures and are looking for a more stable, fixed solution, as well as those who wish to avoid the lengthy and often complex process of bone grafting. A thorough evaluation, including advanced imaging, with a qualified oral surgeon like Dr. Wayne is necessary to determine if Zygomatic implants are the right option for your specific situation.
