Zygomatic implants are a revolutionary option that provides a secure, lasting foundation by anchoring directly into the cheekbone.
Utilizing the dense structure of the cheekbone allows for secure implant placement without additional procedures like bone grafting.

Zygomatic implants are a specialized solution for patients who have experienced severe bone loss in the upper jaw, making them a viable option when traditional dental implants are not suitable. Unlike standard implants anchored in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are longer and secured in the zygomatic bone or cheekbone, offering a stable foundation without extensive bone grafting. This innovative approach allows patients with significant maxillary atrophy to regain full dental function and aesthetics, even in complex cases. By providing a reliable alternative to traditional methods, zygomatic implants open the door to transformative dental care for those who might otherwise be left without options.
This technique uses the dense cheekbone for support, eliminating additional surgical procedures.
Zygomatic implants provide a strong, stable foundation, often allowing immediate or same-day restoration.
Perfect for patients seeking comprehensive restoration services, zygomatic implants can support full-arch prosthetics for a complete transformation.
Tammy’s story is a testament to the life-changing potential of advanced dental implant solutions. After years of frustration with ill-fitting dentures and unsuccessful treatments, she sought Dr. Kaplansky’s expertise, traveling hours to solve her dental challenges. With a tailored plan that included upper zygomatic implants and lower All-on-4 implants, Tammy underwent a seamless surgery and a smooth recovery. Within months, she was smiling confidently with her permanent zirconia restorations.
When traditional dental implants aren’t an option due to severe bone loss, advanced techniques such as trans-sinus, trans-nasal, and pterygoid implants provide life-changing solutions.
This innovative approach utilizes the maxillary sinus to secure implants. Perfect for patients with significant upper jaw bone loss, trans-sinus implants ensure stability without the need for extensive grafting. Our experienced oral surgeons carefully navigate this area to place the implant precisely, restoring both function and aesthetics.
For cases involving severe anterior maxillary bone loss, trans-nasal implants offer an effective alternative. By anchoring the implant into the nasal floor, this technique provides a strong foundation for prosthetics, helping patients achieve a natural-looking and fully functional smile.
Pterygoid implants are an excellent option for individuals with extreme posterior maxillary bone loss. These implants anchor into the dense pterygoid plate, eliminating the need for sinus lifts or grafts. The result is a long-lasting, secure fit, even in cases where other methods fall short.
Whether you’ve been told you aren’t a candidate for traditional implants or are looking for a tailored solution to fit your unique needs, our advanced techniques make it possible. Contact us today for a consultation to explore how trans-sinus, trans-nasal, and pterygoid implants can transform your oral health and quality of life.
The process for zygomatic implants is designed to provide efficient, effective care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Dr. Kaplansky is a co-author of an advanced oral surgery textbook. The book features his case, in which he utilized Zygomatic, Pterygoid, and Incisive canal implants along with traditional All-on-X implants.
Zygomatic implants are a specialized type of dental implant anchored in the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) rather than the jawbone. This makes them ideal for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw.
Patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who are not eligible for traditional implants due to insufficient bone density are excellent candidates. Dr. Kaplansky will evaluate your specific needs during a consultation.
The procedure is performed under sedation, ensuring comfort throughout the process. Most patients report mild soreness afterward, which subsides within a few days.
