What Are Zygomatic Implants?
The Benefits of Zygomatic Implants for Denver Patients

No Bone Grafting Required: Anchoring into the cheekbone means no need to rebuild the jaw first, saving time, cost, and additional surgery.
Same-Day Teeth in Most Cases: Immediate stability allows a temporary full-arch restoration to be placed the day of surgery in most cases.
No Sinus Lift Needed: The angled placement routes around the sinus cavity, eliminating a procedure that many upper jaw implant patients would otherwise require.
Prevents Further Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, slowing the progressive jaw shrinkage that follows long-term tooth loss.
Restores Full Function: Eat the foods you love, speak clearly, and smile without limitation. Zygomatic implants restore what dentures never fully can.
A Permanent Solution: Built to last for decades, zygomatic implants are not a temporary fix. They are a long-term investment in your health and quality of life.

- Same-day temporary teeth in most cases
- Designed for severe upper jaw bone loss

Who Is a Candidate for Zygomatic Implants Near Denver?
Patients should be in reasonably good overall health and free from active oral infections before treatment begins. Heavy smokers face a meaningfully higher risk of implant failure and are encouraged to quit prior to surgery. A consultation with full 3D imaging at our Arvada office is the only reliable way to confirm candidacy and determine the right treatment approach for your specific anatomy.

Zygomatic implants are one of the most technically demanding procedures in implant dentistry and are only offered by a small number of practices in Colorado. Dr. Bennett is among the few in the Denver area with the training and experience to place them safely and predictably, making our Arvada office the closest qualified option for most Denver residents.
No. That is one of their primary advantages. Because they anchor into the cheekbone rather than the upper jaw, the entire bone grafting phase is eliminated. This shortens treatment time, reduces overall cost, and makes implants possible for patients who were previously told they could not have them.
In most cases, yes. Zygomatic implants achieve strong immediate stability that allows a temporary full-arch restoration to be placed the day of surgery. Denver patients leave our Arvada office with a complete smile before making the drive home.
