What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?

Zygomatic dental implants are an advanced solution for patients who have experienced significant bone loss in the upper jaw and have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants. Instead of relying on the jawbone, these specialized implants are anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma), providing a strong, stable foundation for a full set of teeth.

At Honolulu Smile Design, zygomatic implants are often part of a full-arch restoration that allows you to replace most or all of your teeth without the need for bone grafting. In many cases, patients can receive a fixed set of teeth the same day as their procedure, restoring both function and confidence immediately.

The Zygomatic Dental Implant Process

At Honolulu Smile Design, we follow a highly specialized process designed for patients with advanced bone loss. From your initial consultation to your final smile, every step is carefully planned to deliver a secure, long-lasting results.

Consultation and Evaluation 

We begin with a comprehensive consultation using advanced 3D imaging to evaluate your bone structure and determine if zygomatic implants are the right solution. This is where we identify patients who have been told no elsewhere and show them what is possible.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Your doctor creates a fully customized treatment plan based on your anatomy, goals, and level of bone loss. Every detail is mapped out in advance to ensure precision, safety, and predictable results.

Zygomatic Implant Placement


Unlike traditional implants, zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone for maximum stability. This advanced technique eliminates the need for bone grafting and provides a strong foundation for your new teeth.

Immediate Temporary Teeth

In most cases, you receive a fixed set of temporary teeth the same day as your procedure, so you never have to go without a smile during the healing phase.

Final Smile Transformation

After healing, your final custom restoration is placed, giving you a permanent, natural-looking smile that restores full function, confidence, and quality of life.

Zygomatic Dental Implant FAQs

At Honolulu Smile Design, we specialize in advanced solutions for patients who have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants. Here are answers to the most common questions about zygomatic dental implants.

What makes zygomatic dental implants different from traditional implants?

Zygomatic implants are designed for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Instead of being placed in the jawbone, they are anchored in the cheekbone, which provides a stronger and more stable foundation. This allows many patients to avoid bone grafting and still receive a full set of fixed teeth.

The timeline depends on your specific case, but many patients receive a fixed set of teeth the same day as their procedure. Your full treatment plan, including your final restoration, will be outlined during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect at each stage.

If you have been told you do not have enough bone for traditional implants or currently wear dentures, you may be a strong candidate. The best way to know for sure is through a detailed evaluation with 3D imaging to assess your bone structure and overall oral health.

Your procedure begins with precise planning using advanced imaging technology to map your treatment. You’ll receive local anesthesia or sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the process. The implant placement itself typically takes 1-2 hours per implant, and you’ll receive detailed post-operative instructions to support your healing and recovery.

Our Patient Say the Nicest Things

Here’s what our happy patients say about us.

I had an excellent experience with my dental implant! Dr. Ha is an outstanding doctor—very knowledgeable, gentle, and made the entire process completely painless. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I want to give a special shout-out to Yodin for the excellent service and care. Great bedside manner, top-notch service, and the office uses modern, up-to-date technology. Plus, free parking and a very convenient location. Highly recommend!

Doctor Ha and his staff are simply the best in professional customer service. Visiting the dentist has always scared me, but my experience with Shawn, Jan, and everyone at Honolulu Smile Design treated me as if I was their main focus every time I visited.

I have been a patient of Dr. John HA for couple years now, and undergoing dental treatment in the pass has always been a unpleasant experience for me. This is mainly because I have often found myself on the receiving end of doctors’ conversations, where they would inform me that I need surgery to fix my teeth, but in a way that made me feel belittled and ashamed. However, after finally deciding to get dental implants, I chose to go with Dr. HA after reading positive reviews. I approached this decision with the mindset that if I felt judged or criticized about the condition of my teeth, I would seek treatment elsewhere. From my very first consultation to the permanent implantation of my implants, Dr. HA and his staff have truly made this surgery the best decision of my life. For nearly two years, I have been traveling from the Big Island to Oahu to receive my treatments. I understood that if I wanted to regain a sense of normalcy, and be able to eat and smile confidently, I had to trust that the staff would make the right decisions and guide me in the correct direction, as I had no knowledge of the process. The front office staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, always being flexible with scheduling and accommodating my family when necessary. The dental assistants made me feel like a friend rather than just a customer, and Dr. HA himself took the time to explain the entire operation process from start to finish. He also discussed additional measures to ensure that I felt confident in achieving the results I desired. I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. HA and his staff for their invaluable assistance throughout my procedures. Best dental establishment hands down!!.

Dr John Ha and his team were amazing. I’m from California and had a dental emergency in Waikiki. I contacted his office and they made time to see me. I only spent an hour and a half there and they did amazing. Allowed me to continue with my vacation with some peace of mind. Thank you so much.

From stepping into the office, it and the staff were very welcoming. Had an 11am appointment and there was no waiting. At 11, they were calling me in. Karen was very nice and professional taking pictures. During the exam, I suddenly felt very “out of sorts” and had to leave to get some air. Shawn came out to make sure I was OK and was very caring and we appreciated her kindness and understanding. Mahalo HSD!
