A BRIDGE TO NEW HOPE
If you’ve been told you aren't a candidate for traditional dental implants due to severe bone loss, Zygomatic implants were designed specifically for you. Often called 'rescue implants,' this life-changing procedure bypasses the jawbone entirely by anchoring to the sturdy, dense bone of your cheekbones.
At Downriver Surgery Center, we specialize in this advanced technique to help you avoid the lengthy, six-month healing period required for traditional bone grafting. This means that even with extreme bone loss, you can walk out of our office with a non-removable, beautiful set of teeth in a single day. We are proud to offer this elite level of surgical care to restore the chewing strength and confidence you deserve.

YOUR PATH TO RELIEF
A specialized, five-step journey to restoring your smile without the need for bone grafts.
01
3D DIGITAL MAPPING
We use advanced CBCT scans to create a 3D model of your unique anatomy. This allows Dr. Alec to plan your implant placement with incredible precision, ensuring a safe and predictable result.
02
TEETH IN ONE VISIT
During a single afternoon, any failing teeth are removed and your zygomatic implants are placed. You’ll drift off into a peaceful sleep and wake up with a functional set of fixed teeth already in place.
03
COMFORT-FIRST HEALING
Because we anchor into the dense cheekbone, the stability is immediate. You’ll rest in our private suite until you're ready to head home, with many patients finding recovery easier than traditional grafting.
04
DR. ALEC'S CHECK-IN
Just like all our procedures, Dr. Alec will personally call you the evening of your surgery. He’ll make sure you're resting comfortably and answer any questions you have as you begin your new journey.
05
A PERMANENT SOLUTION
Once your implants have fully integrated, you’ll enjoy a life free from the slips and discomfort of dentures. You’ll have a stable, beautiful smile that allows you to eat and speak with total freedom.
GENTLE HEALING
Healing from Zygomatic implants is surprisingly straightforward, as the dense bone of the cheekbone provides an incredibly secure foundation from day one. Most of our patients manage any minor tenderness with simple over-the-counter options and are back to their routines much faster than they anticipated. We’ll provide you with specialized anti-inflammatory care and a clear roadmap for your first few weeks.
FAQ
