Zygomatic Dental Implants

Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry offers some of the area's best dental implant treatments. Reserve your appointment with us today!



Getting dental implants is one of the best ways to permanently replace missing teeth. You must be a healthy candidate for traditional implants, which includes having sufficient jawbone density to support the tiny titanium rods for your new dental crown or bridge. Still, zygomatic dental implants allow people without dense bones to get implants and restore their smiles. 

Zygomatic dental implants in Orlando, FL, are a specialty at Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry. Dr. Michael Gagaoudakis is one of the world's most knowledgeable and respected implant dentists. He and our team have almost 20 years of experience and more than 10,000 successful dental implant procedures including zygomatic implants.

Zygomatic implants are an alternative to standard dental implants for replacing upper teeth. Instead of the oral surgeon using tiny titanium rods as implants, they'll insert large screws into the zygoma bone or cheekbone above the upper jawbone. The zygoma bone has a lot of density, making it the ideal dental implant placement for someone who needs implants but lacks sufficient bone density in the jawbone. 

Do You Need Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Anyone with moderate to extreme upper jaw resorption or who lacks the bone structure to accommodate traditional implants may be a good candidate for zygomatic dental implants in Orlando. In some cases, our Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry professionals may perform a bone graft to improve our patients' jawbone density. The zygomatic implant makes bone grafts unnecessary. 

Every zygomatic implant procedure starts with a consultation with Dr. Mike. During that initial appointment, Dr. Mike will take your medical history and visually evaluate your mouth to understand your oral health needs and determine the best way to proceed with the zygomatic dental implant treatment. 

Our facility in Orlando features the latest technology and equipment for viewing, diagnosing, and analyzing our patients' heads, necks, and mouths. With 3D planning and advanced digital imaging, Dr. Mike can carefully and accurately map out the perfect dental implant placement to ensure the most favorable outcome. 

Before the surgery, Dr. Mike will provide IV sedation to ensure your comfort during the entire procedure. He will then implant two extra long screws into the thick cheekbone near your sinuses. Depending on your needs, he may also use two or more standard implants near the front of the jaw with the two zygomatic dental implants for optimal support of the replacement teeth. 

If you require tooth extraction before the implant procedure, we can handle that. With zygomatic implants, we strive to provide related treatments during a single appointment so you can quickly recover and enjoy your new teeth. 



Many people who get zygomatic dental implants in Orlando are surprised at how fast they can recover from the procedure. After the treatment, you might have some pain or discomfort, but you can return to your daily activities within three to five days.
