Overcome Bone Loss with Zygomatic Implants
"My Poor Decisions Led Me to a Point of No Return With My Teeth"
Schedule NowA Life-Changing Alternative to Traditional Implants
Has a previous dental provider told you that bone loss in your jaw makes dental implants impossible? This condition can cause issues such as reduced support for your remaining teeth and noticeable changes to your facial structure. At MoArk Dental & Implants, we believe everyone deserves to experience the transformative benefits of full mouth dental implants in Thayer, MO, and Walnut Ridge, AR.
To help those with bone loss, we offer zygomatic dental implants—an advanced solution that bypasses the need for sufficient jawbone. Our team is among the few in the Thayer, MO, and Walnut Ridge, AR, areas skilled in performing this procedure. With their specialized training, expert technique, and state-of-the-art technology, we are dedicated to restoring your smile and improving your overall health and confidence.
What Are Zygomatic Implants?
Unlike traditional dental implants, which use a custom number of implant posts anchored in the jawbone, zygomatic implants offer a cutting-edge solution for patients experiencing significant bone loss, especially in the upper jaw.
This advanced technique involves securing implant posts to the zygomatic bones in the cheeks rather than the jawbone. By utilizing the strength of the zygomatic bone, we make full mouth dental implants possible for individuals who may have been told they are not candidates for conventional implants! This innovative approach opens new possibilities for restoring smiles in challenging cases.

What to Expect from the Zygomatic Implant Process
Consultation & Treatment Planning
Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation, during which we use advanced technology to gather detailed information about your case. We then utilize presurgical 3D planning with CBCT scans to create a comprehensive overview, ensuring each implant is placed with optimal precision and accuracy.
The Zygomatic Implant Procedure
During the procedure, we anchor long implant screws into the zygoma, a dense bone near the sinus, also known as the cheekbone. Typically, this approach involves placing two zygomatic implants alongside two to four traditional implants in the front part of the jaw where the upper front teeth used to be.
If teeth need to be extracted before implant placement, we can perform the extractions during the same surgery. Before you leave, we’ll provide a natural-looking temporary restoration so you can immediately enjoy the benefits of your brand-new smile!
Recovery & Final Restorations
Over the next 3-6 months, your implants will fuse to your zygomatic bone through osseointegration. Once healed, you'll receive a permanent restoration and successful integration of implants with your underlying bone. Like many other patients who have chosen zygomatic implants in Thayer, MO, and Walnut Ridge, AR, you'll relish remarkable functional and aesthetic advantages for years, potentially even a lifetime!
