By using advanced zygomatic dental implants, we can replace missing teeth without the need for bone grafting patients can still get a full set of fixed teeth within a single day.
Can You Get Dental Implants With Bone Loss? Yes, Thanks to Zygomatic Implants
Patients who use dentures or have otherwise been without teeth for a long time frequently experience bone loss. This is unfortunately a very common side-effect of no longer having teeth to stimulate the bone in your upper jaw. While there are some ways to slow down dental bone loss, if the bone is not used over time it will shrink and become weaker. While traditional implants are a solution for many, for those with bone loss, they often require bone grafting, which can add months of healing time and multiple surgeries.
Thanks to zygomatic implants, however, full-mouth dental implants in one day are 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
Missing teeth means the jawbone no longer receives stimulation and starts to shrink, but zygomatic implants from New Teeth Now can be a successful solution, even if you’ve been turned down by other offices for bone loss.
What Are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are longer than traditional implants and anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the upper jaw. The cheekbone is naturally denser and remains strong even with missing teeth, so 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
Worldwide, very few surgeons routinely place zygomatic implants, but at New Teeth Now, our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons insert them every day making us one of the most experienced centers in the United States.
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 those patients who are looking for a quicker and more reliable solution, zygomatic implants are usually the best choice.
Zygomatic Implants vs. Dentures
It is commonly stated that people who have severe bone loss have no other option but to have dentures. However, dentures are likely to slip, can cause discomfort, and may speed up bone loss as well. A large number of patients wearing dentures say that they feel uncomfortable and find it difficult to eat and swallow. You can see the comparison between denture and dental implants for yourself.
In contrast, zygomatic implants offer permanently stable teeth which look and feel natural, making full-mouth dental implants a viable option for people who have experienced considerable bone loss.
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for zygomatic implants if:
- You’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants
- You’ve worn dentures for years
- You want to avoid bone graft surgery
