What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Before and after photos of a zygomatic dental implants patient of Dr. Keller's in Kirkland, WA
Unlike traditional dental implants placed in your jaw bone, zygomatic dental implants anchor to your zygomatic bone (cheekbone).

You may be a candidate for this alternative dental implant if you:

  • Have been told you don’t have enough bone for a dental implant
  • Want to avoid months or years of bone grafting
  • Have failed dental implants, bone grafts, or sinus augmentations
  • Have been told you are not a candidate for dental implants
  • Want to replace your dentures
Bonus: With our Kirkland dentist, Dr. Shawn Keller, you can expect to leave your implant procedure with a new set of teeth – no waiting period.

Speed up your treatment time

Traditionally, if you don’t have enough bone to support a dental implant, you will need a bone graft. This surgical procedure helps regenerate bone tissue and can take months, sometimes years, to achieve adequate bone structure viable for an implant.

With zygomatic implants, you can avoid bone grafting! Instead of placing the implant in your jaw bone (where bone deterioration has taken place), Dr. Keller places your implant in your cheekbone, which is dense and provides excellent support.

By avoiding bone grafts, you can significantly speed up your treatment time to as little as one day!

Dental implants are now commonly used to secure dentures. But if you have been wearing dentures or missing teeth for a while, chances are you don’t have enough bone to support it.

As time goes on, you are more likely to experience denture problems – slippage, discomfort, looseness, signs of aging, etc. – due to bone loss. That is, until now!

With zygomatic implants, you can replace your upper dentures with a brand new arch of teeth. Your new teeth will be permanently placed and custom-designed to look and feel like you were born with them. This process uses Dr. Keller’s Opens new tab to Same Day New Smile™ website Same Day New Smile™ technique.

Dr. Keller’s other website that discusses his invention Same Day New Smile. Opens in a new window.Same Day New Smile™ is one of Dr. Keller’s famous inventions. Instead of replacing each missing or failing tooth with an individual implant, Dr. Keller places a full arch of teeth using a minimal number of implants (often only four).

Dr. Keller has designed this technique to encompass both traditional and zygomatic dental implants. So even if you have been told you are “not a dental implants candidate,” you can successfully restore your smile at our dental office in Kirkland, WA.

This technique is similar to All-On-4 implants, however, Dr. Keller performs the entire procedure and places your teeth in ONE DAY! You won’t go another day without your smile.

I have had all of my teeth replaced with two bridges consisting of 4 implants per bridge. At first, I was a little skeptical, but my apprehensions were quickly overcome by the professional staff and the answering of all my questions and concerns. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my new set of teeth. I even traveled over 300 miles to get to Dr. Keller's office. It was well worth the trip.
