If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for dental implants because of bone loss, you’re not out of options. At New Teeth Now, we specialize in helping patients who have been turned away elsewhere. With advanced zygomatic dental implants, you can replace missing teeth without bone grafting and receive a full set of fixed teeth in just one day.
Can You Get Dental Implants With Bone Loss? Yes, Thanks to Zygomatic Implants
Bone loss in the upper jaw is common, especially if you’ve worn dentures for years or have gone without teeth for a long time. While there are some ways to slow down dental bone loss, over time without use, the bone shrinks and weakens. Traditional implants often require bone grafting, which can add months of healing time and multiple surgeries.
Zygomatic implants eliminate the need for bone grafts, making full‑mouth dental implants possible even for patients with severe bone loss.
What Causes Dental Bone Loss?
Bone loss can occur for several reasons, including:
- Long‑term denture use
- Tooth loss without replacement
- Periodontal disease
- Trauma or injury
- Natural aging
When teeth are missing, the jawbone loses stimulation and begins to shrink. Over time, this makes traditional implants difficult—unless you choose a graft‑free solution like zygomatic implants.
What Are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are longer than traditional implants and anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the upper jaw. Because the cheekbone is naturally dense and strong, it provides a stable foundation even when the jawbone has deteriorated.
Benefits of Zygomatic Implants
- No bone grafting required
- Immediate stability
- Same‑day placement of fixed teeth
- Ideal for severe bone loss
- High long‑term success rate
Very few surgeons worldwide place zygomatic implants routinely. At New Teeth Now, our board‑certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons place them daily, making us one of the most experienced centers in the U.S.
Zygomatic Implants vs. Bone Grafting
If you’ve been told you need a bone graft before getting implants, here’s how the two options compare:
| Zygomatic Implants | Bone Grafting | |
| Procedure Time | Same-day procedure | 6-12 months before implants |
| Recovery Time | Minimal Downtime | Extended healing period |
| Eligibility | Ideal for severe bone loss | Not suitable for all patients |
| Success Rate | High success rate | Variable success rate |
| Patient Experience | Immediate implant-supported teeth | Multiple surgeries, longer wait |
For patients who want a faster, more predictable solution, zygomatic implants are often the preferred choice.
Zygomatic Implants vs. Dentures
Patients with advanced bone loss are often told dentures are their only choice. But dentures can slip, cause discomfort, and accelerate bone loss. Many patients with dentures report they are uncomfortable and make eating and swallowing difficult. You can see the comparison between denture and dental implants for yourself.
Zygomatic implants, on the other hand, provide permanent, stable teeth that look and feel natural, making full-mouth dental implants an option even for those patients who have suffered significant bone loss.
