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.

What Patients Say
Secure and confident
Pauline was fed up with the hassle of wearing dentures, but dentists said her jaw was too weakened to accept implants. Zygomatic implants offered a ray of hope, securing a row of 14 upper teeth permanently in place, and Pauline couldn’t be more pleased with the result!
It’s totally worth it!

Our 5* Reviews
“I’ve been going to see Richard and the team for several years at Hale Dental. The whole team are super professional and make you feel comfortable the minute you walk in, with a comfortable lounge area and drinks facilities. This is a practice that’s ahead of the game with technology, its always appealed to me to know that you are getting the best service available. Thank you to all the team for everything you do.”
“I was recommended by my Dentist to Richard who I found very caring and professional.Everything was explained about the procedure for my implant and post surgery and felt no pain throughout the surgery.Also a thanks to Louise and supporting staff who were most friendly.I would highly recommend this Practice.”
“Absolutely outstanding service and experience. My daughter’s teeth look amazing. The personal care and attention she received during her Invisalign treatment was fabulous. Great options for appointments and could not be happier. My other daughter went to Turret and our experience was polar opposite. Hale dental were great and took her treatment over too for a small cost to correct the outcome we were left with from Turret. Couldn’t recommend Hale Dental more highly.”
“Once I had made my decision to have a large tooth from the back of my mouth removed (after speaking to 2 consultants at the practice to get all the options clear in my mind), my appointment was quickly made and even though I was quite nervous Richard was so kind and patient with me. It was quite a difficult extraction (but absolutely no pain) and I expected to be sore and swollen the next day – but to my surprise all was fine. I can highly recommend Hale Dental and especially Richard.”
“I have been attending The Hale Dental and Implant Clinic for years! I travel a long distance to attend and would not feel comfortable going to anyone else, especially as they know and understand my dental history! I have always received excellent care within a professional, caring and friendly environment!”
“Being terrified of dental treatment I can’t say that I was excited at what was to come but, I can wholeheartedly say that Richard and his team made the whole experience calm, friendly, professional and pain free. I felt looked after and had no issues trusting their judgement. I’m very happy with the results and treatment received.”
“I had reached 61 years of age and never had my teeth received the priority they required. Work, children and wider family had always come first. As a result I presented Jonathan Crockett with quite a mess to fix which he and his assistants then set about methodically. It required lots of new and replacement crowns, one extraction and an implant. And now I have no discomfort and a nice white smile. I happily recommend Jonathan Crockett both for his expertise and gentle good humour. And let’s not forget Diane Hunter, the dental hygienist, who is wonderful beyond measure.”
“Such good care at Hale Dental. Everyone there is so kind and efficient- I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend- and I have done!”
“Great service overall, pre-surgery appointments, the surgery day itself and post-surgery care. Very well handled by Richard, Jonny and team.”
