Excessive Bone Loss? You Can Still Restore Your Smile with Zygomatic Dental Implants

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for traditional dental implants due to severe upper jawbone loss, you’re not out of options. At Ora Dental Implant Studio in Elk Grove, CA, we offer a groundbreaking solution that allows even the most complex cases to achieve a full, functional, and beautiful smile: Zygomatic Dental Implants.

With advanced technology, expert surgical skill, and a compassionate approach to patient care, Dr. Dalla and our team are proud to serve patients from across Northern California and beyond, helping them regain their confidence—even when other providers have said no.

What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Zygomatic implants are specially designed for patients who have insufficient bone in the upper jaw—often due to long-term tooth loss, advanced gum disease, or failed implants. Unlike traditional implants that anchor into the jawbone, zygomatic implants are longer and are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which remains strong and dense even when the upper jawbone has deteriorated.

This makes zygomatic implants an ideal solution for patients with excessive bone loss who would otherwise require complex bone grafting procedures or be told they’re not candidates for implants at all.

Why Choose Zygomatic Implants at Ora Dental Implant Studio?

At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we specialize in advanced implant dentistry that goes far beyond the basics. Our state-of-the-art facility in Elk Grove is equipped with the latest in digital imaging, 3D printing, and surgical technology—allowing us to perform complex treatments like zygomatic implants with precision, efficiency, and outstanding outcomes.

Here’s what you can expect from your zygomatic implant journey with us:

Comprehensive Consultation

Your first visit includes a 3D CBCT scan, which gives us a high-resolution view of your facial anatomy, including bone density and structure. Dr. Dalla will review your medical and dental history and take the time to understand your concerns, goals, and vision for your smile.

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your options—including whether zygomatic implants are the right solution for your needs.

Custom Treatment Planning

Every smile is unique. We create a fully personalized treatment plan based on:

• The number and placement of implants
• Your desired restoration (i.e. implant-supported bridge or full-arch dentures)
• Sedation options and comfort preferences
• Timeline, cost, and financing options to fit your budget

This ensures you’re informed and confident every step of the way.

Guided Implant Surgery

Using 3D-printed surgical guides, Dr. Dalla places your zygomatic implants with extreme accuracy, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues and optimizing healing. The surgery is performed using advanced sedation techniques, so you’ll be comfortable and relaxed throughout.

Immediate Teeth, Same-Day Smile

In most cases, you’ll leave our office with temporary teeth the same day as your surgery. That means no lengthy waiting period and no need to go without teeth while your implants heal.

Final Restoration: Your New, Permanent Smile

Once your implants fully integrate with the zygomatic bone—a process called osseointegration—we’ll place your custom-designed, permanent prosthetic teeth. Crafted for durability, function, and aesthetics, these restorations are made to look and feel just like natural teeth.
