Zygomatic implants are a revolutionary solution for patients experiencing significant bone loss, particularly in the upper jaw. Unlike traditional implants that are placed in the jawbone, zygomatic implants are much longer and are securely anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma), a dense bone that provides exceptional support and stability. This innovative approach eliminates the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts, allowing patients to regain a full, natural smile even with severe bone loss.
These specialized implants are especially beneficial for those with moderate to extreme resorption in the maxilla, making it possible to replace all upper teeth in a single day. Zygomatic implants can be combined with traditional or pterygoid implants in All-On-4 or All-On-6 configurations, providing a comprehensive and lasting dental restoration.
Zygomatic Implants: Our Specialty
At Younes Dental, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of this advanced procedure. Dr. Ali Younes, our lead surgeon, is the only dentist in Lebanon who routinely places zygomatic implants with immediate loading. With over five years of experience and a 100% success rate, Dr. Younes has successfully restored smiles for countless patients who were previously considered unsuitable for traditional implants due to severe bone loss.
During your consultation, we’ll explore all your options and determine if zygomatic implants are the right solution for you. This procedure has given thousands of people worldwide a new lease on life, and with the expertise of our team, you can trust that your smile is in the best hands.
If you’ve been told that you’re not a candidate for traditional dental implants due to severe bone loss, zygomatic implants might be the ideal solution for you. Zygomatic implants offer a significant advantage over procedures like bone grafting, which often have lower success rates and require extended healing periods. With zygomatic implants, you can have your teeth placed on the same day as the procedure, bypassing the months-long wait typically associated with bone grafting. Before the advent of zygomatic implants, patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw had no choice but to undergo bone grafting—a procedure that could take six months to a year before implants could be placed. At Younes Dental Clinic, zygomatic implants have transformed this landscape. With an exceptionally high success rate, our clinic has become a destination for patients from around the world seeking full mouth restorations in just one day, without the need for bone grafting.
At Younes Dental Clinic, we offer screw-retained zirconia crowns for all our dental implants, along with one temporary restoration during the healing process. Our in-house digital dental lab is specialized in crafting beautiful, natural-looking, and hygienic zirconia crowns.
Unlike most other clinics that offer cemented metal ceramic crowns and bridges over implants—which can be harmful to the patient’s bone and oral health—our zirconia crowns provide a superior, long-lasting, and biocompatible solution.

Patients undergoing zygomatic implant surgery experience no pain during the procedure, as they are comfortably asleep under anesthesia. This method is the safest and most comfortable option for full mouth restorations. While pain medications are available for post-operative care, many patients find they only need over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol or Advil, as discomfort is typically minimal.
Recovery from zygomatic dental implant surgery is remarkably similar to that of traditional dental implants. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by the ease of recovery. Some may experience minor bruising around the lower eyelids, but within 3-5 days, most patients can return to their regular routines.
At Younes Dental Clinic, patient care is our top priority. We continually invest in the latest technologies and training to ensure we provide the best possible care. We believe in empowering our patients to make informed decisions by offering comprehensive information on every treatment option.
We are always ready to discuss the best treatment plans to help our patients achieve their desired outcomes. Like natural teeth, implants require commitment to maintenance; it’s essential to follow our instructions and advice to ensure the best long-term results. Always remember to brush and clean your implants after each meal.
