Zygomatic Implants
Making the Impossible Possible
If you’ve lost teeth in your upper jaw and were told you lack sufficient bone density for dental implants, the hopes of full smile rehabilitation may appear dashed. But there is another solution—zygomatic implants.
The zygomatic arch, or the cheekbone, is an area that can support dental implants. Using specially designed longer implants placed at an angle, it’s possible to access this bone to support several replacement teeth without needing bone grafting.
Hale Dental is home to one of the UK’s few zygomatic implant surgeons, Dr Richard Brookshaw. In his proficient hands, you could enjoy the benefits of a great-looking smile in no time.
The Science Behind
Zygomatic Implants
Just like traditional dental implants, zygomatic implants are titanium. This gives them immense strength and rigidity. Unlike standard implants, these are much longer as they’re designed to reach further into your facial structure to prove unparalleled support.
We’ll typically place four implants to maximise your new smile’s stability. Two standard implants are angled to support the front teeth, while two extra-long angled implants access the zygomatic bone on either side.
Once the implants are firmly positioned, we’ll create bespoke replacement teeth that match the natural colour, shape, and size of your teeth. The attention to detail of your new smile is second-to-none, and you’ll be amazed at how life-like your teeth look.
Due to the advanced techniques used, we can place zygomatic implants in a single day.
Zygomatic Implant Benefits
Aside from restoring your smile when you’ve experienced bone loss, zygomatic implants offer several other benefits.
Once in place, your new smile will look just like the real thing. We’re confident that you’ll feel great about your new teeth, and any lost self-esteem will return in no time.
Talking, laughing, and eating becomes much easier after a stable restoration. Anchoring your teeth through the dense cheekbone offers unparalleled durability, letting you chew and bite confidently. Unlike dentures, you don’t need to worry about your teeth becoming loose.
What to Expect From the Zygomatic Implant Procedure
Every zygomatic implant placement procedure starts with a consultation. We’ll assess your smile, and for you to ask any questions you have about the treatment.
Before placing your implants, we’ll ensure you’re perfectly comfortable. Anaesthetic ensures the whole experience is pain and discomfort-free.
We’ll place the implants in a single appointment. Once placed, we’ll provide a temporary arch of replacement teeth. Don’t worry; these will look and feel good and are only for use while your permanent bespoke teeth are crafted.

Our 5* Reviews
“We have had nothing but good experience with Hale Dental. All the dentists and staff are very supportive, efficient and friendly. Our daughter had to have an extraction to allow further orthodontist work and Richard handled it very smoothly. Our daughter recovered very quickly with very little discomfort. Couldn’t recommend Hale Dental more highly.”
“The Hale Dental and Implant Clinic is excellent and offers very friendly and professional services, based on advanced modern techniques, in recently refurbished facilities, centrally located in Hale. I am very happy with it and grateful for the attentive and competent care received.”
“Nothing but praises for the professionals at Hale Dental Clinic. My case was a bit complicated – had to get dental implants. The thought of it sent shivers down my spine. But the team, my goodness, they made the whole experience practically painless. From the first consultation to the aftercare, everything was just spot-on. They took their time to explain every step, answering all my questions, putting my fears to rest. The environment was calming, and the staff, incredibly welcoming. For anyone who’s been putting off getting their dental issues sorted due to fear, Hale Dental Clinic is the place to go.”
