Very few clinics in the UAE perform zygomatic implant surgery in house; most refer abroad or fly in visiting surgeons at premium cost and long waits. Cosmolaser offers it with a full time resident implantologist surgery, follow up and any adjustments handled by the same surgeon, in the same clinic.
A solution for cases others decline.
Patients who wore removable dentures for years, or whose implants/grafts failed previously, experience progressive upper jaw bone resorption. Zygomatic implants bypass the deficient jawbone entirely, anchoring in the dense zygomatic (cheek) bone.
One WhatsApp based remote assessment from existing X rays, then a grouped visit surgical plan suitable for patients travelling from other Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia and beyond. Sharjah location, airport proximity, and a structured visit plan make travel simple.
Evolution of Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants were introduced by Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark in 1998 after a decade of clinical development beginning in 1988–1989, with international trials supporting wider adoption from 1997–1998. These 30–55 mm implants are anchored in the dense cheekbone, providing stable support even in cases of severe upper-jaw bone loss and often avoiding extensive bone grafting.

Zygomatic protocols.
| Protocol | Configuration | Indication | Provisional teeth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid zygoma | 2 zygomatic (posterior) + 2 to 4 conventional anterior implants | Posterior bone loss with usable anterior bone | 24 to 72 hrs in suitable cases |
| Quad zygoma | 4 zygomatic implants (2 per side) | Extreme full maxilla atrophy; failed grafts; long term denture wearers | 24 to 72 hrs in suitable cases |
| Zygoma rescue | Zygomatic anchorage after failed conventional implants/grafts | Previously failed implant treatment | Case dependent |
In house 3D imaging maps zygoma anatomy, sinus and orbital landmarks before surgery
Comfort pathway for longer surgical sessions
Premium final prosthesis with prosthodontist team
Zygomatic treatment plans are individually quoted in writing after assessment, with staged payment options.
Is this right for you?
You may be an ideal candidate.
- Severe upper jaw bone loss where conventional implants were declined
- Failed previous grafting or failed conventional implants
- Long term upper denture wearers seeking fixed teeth without graft surgery
- Patients wanting to avoid multi stage grafting timelines (6 to 12 months shortened to weeks)
We review these carefully before planning.
- Active sinus pathology (treated first or comanaged)
- Uncontrolled systemic disease; heavy smoking; bisphosphonate history
- Lower jaw cases, zygomatic implants apply to the upper jaw only
Zygomatic implants rehabilitate the upper arch only. Lower arch solutions are covered in our full arch implant consultation.
Traditional vs. Zygomatic.
Traditional Implants
For simple cases- Requires sufficient bone
- 6 to 12 months of bone grafting
- Multiple surgical stages
- Extended healing before fixed teeth
- Higher patient dropout
Zygomatic Implants
For complex cases- No grafting needed even with severe bone loss
- In suitable cases, provisional fixed bridge in 24 to 72 hrs
- Single, precision procedure
- Immediate function, natural aesthetics
- 20+ years of documented clinical success

Real Smiles, Real Confidence
"We deliver personalised dental treatments, modern technology and gentle care ensuring healthy confident smiles for every patient."
Advanced surgical expertise.

Bone Grafting Expertise
While many patients benefit from Zygomatic Implants without extensive grafting, some treatments require rebuilding lost bone to create a stronger foundation. Our experienced team performs a range of advanced bone grafting procedures using carefully planned techniques tailored to each patient's individual needs.
- Bone Augmentation
- Sinus Lift Procedures
- Ridge Preservation
- Socket Preservation

Guided Implant Surgery
Every implant procedure begins long before treatment day. Using advanced CBCT imaging and Guided Surgery technology, every implant position is digitally planned to improve precision and treatment efficiency.
- Greater surgical precision
- Predictable treatment planning
- Personalised implant positioning
- Advanced digital workflow
- Improved patient confidence
Frequently asked questions.

Ask on WhatsAppExtra long dental implants anchored in the zygomatic (cheek) bone instead of the upper jaw, providing stable support for fixed teeth when jawbone volume is severely reduced.
No, avoiding grafts is their principal advantage. Because they anchor in the dense cheekbone, deficient jawbone does not need to be rebuilt first.
Possibly, yes. This is precisely the situation zygomatic protocols address. A review of your existing X rays via WhatsApp is a free first step, followed by CBCT assessment.
In suitable cases a provisional fixed bridge is secured within 24 to 72 hours of surgery, with the definitive bridge fitted after integration at around 3 to 4 months.
It is an established international protocol when performed by an appropriately experienced surgeon with 3D CBCT planning. Suitability, risks and alternatives are reviewed individually at assessment.
Yes. Treatment is structured into a remote pre assessment plus two grouped visit windows, designed for patients travelling from across the UAE and GCC.
