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
“On my first visit to Hale Dental I was warmly welcomed and felt relaxed and comfortable. The staff are nurturing and professional. The waiting room has a positive and calm feeling. Jonny has made me feel at ease and in safe hands from the very start; he has a wealth of experience and a kind and gentle focus allowing me to feel confident. I would highly recommend this state of the art dentist where the staff listen and care.”
“I would highly recommend Hale dental to everyone. The staff are professional, highly skilled, friendly and courteous. I had some serious dental work carried out and the standard of the work is amazing. I had no pain and the standard of care is second to none . I can only say top class and would recommend the skills of this practice from initial consultation to the finished product.”
“Never previously used but was put in contact via my dentist due to a problematic implant that was unable to be fixed. Despite being the week before Christmas, they fitted me in at very short notice, everyone was extremely pleasant and professional, from Megan who called to arrange the appointment and welcomed me on site to Richard, the implantologist who explained everything clearly and succinctly. The icing on the cake was that he solved my problem despite the implant system being one he had never encountered previously. Delighted to recommend to any prospective clients. The surgery is very clean, professional and welcoming.”
“This may seem bizarre but I actually look forward to visiting a Dentist!!! Yes, I know, very strange, however once you visit Hale Dental you will not want to go anywhere else. All of the staff are fabulous. Receptionists, dental nurses, hygienists – all are friendly and welcoming. As for Richard, well he is THE BEST BAR NON. Enough said, I think.”
“From a very apprehensive patient I can only say how professional all the staff were and all the way through the procedures details were so clearly explained. One very satisfied patient who would not hesitate to recommend Hale Dental.”
Really happy with the service provided, special thank you to Nina, who was really patient with me (I am a very nervous customer). This is not the first time I attend Hale Dental, considering it is quite far from where I live, I will still be using their services. Highly recommend.”
“Super professional friendly and Covid safe environment. All staff makes me feel welcome and treats me like vip patient. Booking procedure smooth and reminder email/ text of my appointments, “ never a problem” attitude to changes or re-schedule appointment.
