Transforming Smiles with Advanced Zygomatic Implants
At Summit Implant Dentistry of Kansas City, we specialize in life-changing dental solutions for patients who have been told they do not have enough bone for traditional dental implants. Zygomatic dental implants are an advanced alternative that anchor securely into the cheekbone (zygoma), providing stability and support even in cases of severe upper jaw bone loss. This innovative approach allows patients who may have been considered ineligible for implants to finally achieve a permanent, confident smile.
Why Zygomatic Implants Matter
For many patients, years of missing teeth, gum disease, or ill-fitting dentures have caused significant bone loss in the upper jaw. Traditional implant methods often require bone grafting, which can be invasive and time-consuming. Zygomatic implants bypass the need for grafting by using the dense zygomatic bone, meaning you can avoid multiple surgeries and get results much faster. This treatment is not just about replacing teeth—it’s about restoring function, comfort, and quality of life.
Who Is a Candidate?
If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, zygomatic implants may be the right solution. They are ideal for patients who:
Have severe upper jaw bone loss
Have failed or loose dental implants
Have worn dentures for years
Want a faster, more predictable path to permanent teeth
At Summit Implant Dentistry of Kansas City, our doctors provide thorough evaluations using advanced 3D imaging technology to determine whether zygomatic implants are the best treatment for you.
The Procedure and Technology
Zygomatic implant placement is a highly specialized surgical procedure that requires advanced training and experience. At our Kansas City practice, we combine state-of-the-art technology with expert surgical precision. Using digital scans and surgical guides, our team creates a treatment plan tailored to your unique anatomy. The implants are placed into the cheekbone, which naturally provides strong anchorage. In many cases, patients can receive temporary teeth the same day as their surgery, allowing them to leave our office with a functional and beautiful smile.
