Zygomatic Implants in Naperville, IL
Advanced Dental Implant Solutions for Severe Upper-Jaw Bone Loss
Zygomatic implants offer a life-changing solution for patients who have been told they do not have enough bone for traditional dental implants. At Oral and Facial Surgery of Naperville, our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in advanced implant reconstruction, including zygomatic and full-arch implant procedures for patients with significant bone loss.
With nearly 40 years of experience and state-of-the-art technology, we provide predictable, safe, and long-lasting outcomes—even in complex cases other offices may consider untreatable.
What Are Zygomatic Implants?
Zygomatic implants are longer titanium implants anchored securely into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) instead of the upper jaw. The zygomatic bone is naturally dense and strong, making it an ideal support structure when the upper jaw lacks sufficient bone height or volume.
They are an excellent solution for patients who:
- Have severe bone loss in the upper jaw
- Have worn dentures for many years
- Have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants
- Want fixed teeth without extensive grafting
- Have failed dental implants or suffered sinus complications
- Wish to avoid large bone grafts or sinus lift procedures
Zygomatic implants provide immediate stability and can often support same-day full-arch restorations.
Why Choose Zygomatic Implants?
Eliminates the need for major bone grafting
Most patients do not need sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, or grafting before treatment.
Immediate stability
These implants anchor into the cheekbone, providing a strong foundation right away.
Ideal for full-arch restoration
Zygomatic implants can support a fixed hybrid prosthesis, often placed the same day.
High long-term success rates
Studies show extremely predictable outcomes when placed by experienced oral surgeons.
A solution for “untreatable” cases
Even patients with extreme bone loss or multiple failed grafts can qualify.
