Zygomatic Implants Perth CBD
In short: zygomatic implants are longer dental implants anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the upper jaw. They’re used when the upper jaw has too little bone for standard implants, often after years of wearing dentures or after severe bone loss, and can sometimes avoid extensive bone grafting. At Perth Prime Dental in Perth CBD, treatment starts with a free consultation, and your costs are quoted in writing after your consultation.

Who are zygomatic implants for?
- People who have been told they don’t have enough upper jaw bone for implants
- Long-term denture wearers whose upper bone has shrunk
- People who want to avoid, or can’t have, major bone grafting or sinus lifts
- People whose previous upper implants have failed because of bone loss
Zygomatic implants aren’t the first choice for everyone. If you have enough bone, standard implants, All-on-4, a sinus lift or bone grafting may suit you better. Your examination and X-rays show which options are realistic.
Zygomatic implants vs bone grafting vs standard implants
| Zygomatic implants | Bone grafting / sinus lift, then implants | Standard implants or All-on-4 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bone needed in upper jaw | Very little | Built up first | Enough bone already |
| Extra healing before implants | Often none | Often several months | None |
| Complexity | Highest | Moderate | Lowest |
| Teeth | Fixed full arch | Single teeth, bridges or full arch | Single teeth, bridges or full arch |
What to expect
- Free consultation. We assess your bone, sinuses, bite and health, and explain every option.
- Your plan and written quote. You know the costs, risks and timeline before you decide. No pressure.
- Surgery. The zygomatic implants (often combined with standard implants at the front) are placed. We discuss anaesthesia options with you in advance.
- Teeth. Where the implants are stable enough, a fixed provisional arch can be fitted soon after surgery, with your final teeth after healing.
- Long-term care. Regular reviews and professional cleaning keep your implants and gums healthy.
Cost
Zygomatic implant treatment is quoted after your free consultation, because the cost depends on how many implants you need, whether standard implants are combined, and the type of final teeth. Payment plans (Afterpay, Zip, Zip Money, humm, DentiCare) and early release of superannuation for eligible patients may help. See payment options and our dental implant cost guide.
Risks and things to consider
Zygomatic implants are an advanced surgical procedure with specific risks. These include sinus problems, infection, swelling and bruising, numbness, discomfort near the eye or cheek, and the implants failing to integrate. Smoking and some medical conditions increase the risk. Results vary between people and can’t be guaranteed. We explain your own risks in detail, and you’re welcome to seek a second opinion.
Frequently asked questions
What are zygomatic implants?
Longer dental implants anchored in the cheekbone instead of the upper jawbone. They’re used when there isn’t enough upper jaw bone for standard implants.
Can zygomatic implants avoid bone grafting?
Often, yes. Because they’re anchored in the cheekbone, they can be an option for people who would otherwise need extensive grafting or sinus lifts. Your examination and X-rays will show whether they may suit you.
How much do zygomatic implants cost in Perth?
At Perth Prime Dental, zygomatic implant treatment is quoted after a free consultation, because costs depend on your bone, the number of implants and the type of final teeth.
Will I have teeth straight away?
In many cases a fixed provisional arch can be fitted soon after surgery, if the implants are stable enough. Your final teeth are made after healing.
