Zygomatic Implants – Dental Implants for Severe Bone Loss

If you’ve been told you don’t qualify for traditional dental implants due to bone loss in your upper jaw, zygomatic implants may be the life-changing solution you’ve been waiting for. At Teeth In 24™ Dr. Lampee offers this advanced implant technique to restore full arches of teeth, without the need for bone grafting.

What Are Zygomatic Implants?

Unlike conventional dental implants, which are placed into the upper jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are anchored into the zygomatic (cheek) bones. These bones are denser and provide a secure foundation for patients who have experienced significant bone loss due to gum disease, trauma, or long-term denture use.

Because the zygomatic bone provides a more stable and predictable anchor point, this technique eliminates the need for bone grafts, sinus lifts, or months of healing before implants can be placed.

Zygomatic implants are one of the most advanced procedures in modern implant dentistry and should only be performed by highly trained experts. Dr. Lampee is one of the few dentists in the U.S. who routinely places zygomatic implants as part of full arch restoration treatments.

Using 3D CBCT scans and digital planning software, Dr. Lampee precisely maps the placement of each implant to ensure maximum stability and optimal long-term outcomes. Many patients also receive additional conventional implants in areas of healthy jawbone to further support their new smile.

Zygomatic Implants FAQ

Are zygomatic implants safe?

Yes, when performed by an experienced implant dentist like Dr. Lampee, zygomatic implants are safe and highly effective, even in complex cases of bone loss.

Surgery is completed in a single appointment under sedation. Many patients receive a full set of temporary teeth on the same day.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. With no bone grafting involved, the healing process is often shorter than with traditional methods.

Zygomatic implants are designed for long-term stability and can last decades with proper care and maintenance.

Ashley Ringheim
Dr. Lampee and his staff were amazing! I suffer from a high level of dental anxiety and needed some dental work done badly. Dr. Lampee and his staff put me at ease immediately and never made me feel silly or like I was overreacting. I used oral sedation for a root canal, crown and fillings. Dr. Lampee completed all the work in one appointment and it was the best dentist experience of my life. 100% recommend!
