Zygomatic implants in Tribeca, NYC

Zygomatic Implants in Tribeca, NYC

I'm Dr. Nina Izhaky. If you've been told you don't have enough bone for conventional implants — or that you'd need extensive grafting first — zygomatic implants may change the answer. These specialized implants anchor into the dense cheekbone instead of the deteriorating upper jawbone, and in most cases they bypass lengthy bone grafting or sinus lift procedures entirely. Whether your anatomy qualifies is something we confirm with a 3D evaluation, in person.

What makes zygomatic implants different

For the cases conventional implants can't solve.

Anchored in the cheekbone.

Zygomatic implants are a specialized type of dental implant designed for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw — anchored into the dense cheekbone rather than the deteriorating jawbone.

Often no grafting, no sinus lift.

In most cases, using the natural strength of the cheekbone bypasses the need for lengthy bone grafting or sinus lift procedures — months of preparation, avoided.

Teeth the same day, in many cases.

In many cases, a custom-fabricated temporary fixed bridge is attached immediately after surgery — you walk out with a functional smile while healing continues underneath.

A fixed prosthesis — no removal.

Unlike removable dentures that can shift when speaking or eating, zygomatic implants support a fixed prosthesis that feels stable and secure — no adhesives, no slipping, nothing to remove at night.

Your zygomatic evaluation and treatment

Candidacy first — everything else follows.

01

3D evaluation.

Advanced 3D imaging at our office confirms whether your anatomy is suitable — typical candidates are patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss who've been told conventional implants aren't possible without extensive grafting.

02

Your personalized plan.

Every treatment plan is customized to your anatomy and goals, with an exact price and financing options before anything begins.

03

Surgery and same-day teeth.

In many cases you receive a temporary fixed bridge immediately after surgery — with the recovery we walk you through step by step.

04

Recovery and the final restoration.

Most patients experience moderate swelling for the first few days, managed with prescribed medication and rest — and your final restoration follows once healing is complete.

Who should ask about zygomatic implants

If a previous consultation ended with 'you need extensive grafting first' or 'implants aren't possible for you' — get a second opinion here. Our office at 54 Warren Street combines advanced 3D treatment planning with over 15 years serving downtown Manhattan, and we evaluate zygomatic options for exactly these cases. The answer may be yes, or it may be a different advanced approach — either way, you'll leave with a real plan.

Zygomatic implant questions, answered

01What are zygomatic dental implants?

A specialized type of dental implant designed for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw — anchored into the dense cheekbone rather than the deteriorating jawbone.

02Do zygomatic implants eliminate bone grafting?

In most cases, yes. By utilizing the natural strength of the cheekbone, they bypass the need for lengthy bone grafting or sinus lift procedures. Your 3D evaluation confirms whether this applies to you.

03Can I receive teeth on the same day?

In many cases, yes. A custom-fabricated temporary fixed bridge is attached immediately after surgery, allowing you to walk out with a functional smile.

04How long do zygomatic implants last?

With proper care, maintenance, and routine check-ups, they're designed as a permanent solution that can last a lifetime.

05Am I a candidate for zygomatic implants?

Typical candidates are patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss who have been told conventional implants aren't possible without extensive grafting. An evaluation with 3D imaging at our office confirms whether your anatomy is suitable.

06What is recovery like after zygomatic implant surgery?

Most patients experience moderate swelling for the first few days, managed with prescribed medication and rest. Because many receive temporary teeth the same day, you return to normal activities with a functional smile while healing continues underneath.

07How do zygomatic implants compare to traditional dentures?

Unlike removable dentures that can shift when speaking or eating, zygomatic implants support a fixed prosthesis that feels stable and secure. No adhesives, no slipping, and nothing to remove at night.

08How much do zygomatic implants cost?

It depends on your anatomy and the restoration plan. Your evaluation ends with an exact number and financing options. Call (212) 561-5303.

Your Visit from Tribeca

Getting here from Tribeca is a short walk, not a trip, and that is how most of our neighbors arrive. If you are coming by subway, the 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E trains stop at Chambers Street, about a five-minute walk up Warren to our door. The 4, 5, and 6 at Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall are ten minutes on foot through the civic center, and the J and Z also stop at Chambers Street for the east-side connection.

Citi Bike stations sit on Warren Street and Greenwich Street, and New Jersey commuters can take PATH to the World Trade Center Oculus.

When you arrive at 54 Warren Street, we keep the day simple and unhurried from the moment you check in. Our team works together under one roof, so your visit stays in one place instead of sending you across town for another appointment or another opinion. We talk through what brought you in, take any imaging we need here in the office, and explain what we are seeing in plain language before we discuss next steps together.

You will always know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what can wait, so you leave with a clear plan rather than unanswered questions.

Life in Tribeca moves between the cast-iron lofts on Franklin Street, the towers along West Street, and afternoons with families at Washington Market Park, and we schedule with that rhythm in mind. We are open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday from 9 AM to 2 PM, and you can book online any time or call us at (212) 561-5303.

Street parking here is tight, with cobblestone blocks and film shoots, but attended garages on Warren Street and Greenwich Street sit within a block of our door. Follow-ups stay with our same team, so your care feels continuous.

Ongoing care is where being neighbors really pays off for our Tribeca patients. A six-month recall is just a short walk over, a quick check-in with the team who already knows your history, and a cleaning that fits between school drop-off and the rest of your day. When treatment takes more than one visit, we sequence it sensibly, review healing in person, and adjust the plan together rather than by phone tag.

Because we have cared for families here since 2007, we notice small changes early, keep your records continuous, and remind you when you are due — so staying on track never feels like starting over.

Dental Implants in Tribeca: A Complete Guide

Dental implants suit adults in Tribeca who are missing one tooth, several teeth in a row, or a full arch of teeth. A single implant with a crown replaces one missing tooth without touching the healthy teeth on either side, which is the closest thing to getting your own tooth back. Two or more implants can anchor a bridge for several missing teeth without reshaping healthy neighbors.

Four or more implants per arch can support a full set of fixed teeth for people currently in dentures or facing full extractions. The honest answer about candidacy comes from a 3D evaluation of your bone, bite, and health factors. That range is why planning starts with what you are actually missing.

Treatment starts with a consultation plus CBCT imaging, so we can assess your bone, bite, and health factors with no guessing. If bone loss after tooth loss has left the foundation thin, bone grafting can usually rebuild it first. Your implant positions are planned digitally before surgery day, so placement is precise and the restoration is designed from the start.

At the evaluation for patients in Tribeca, we give you an exact price and timeline in writing, with financing options explained, before anything is scheduled and with no commitment required. That plan first step means you understand the number of implants and the restoration before treatment begins. There are no mysteries and no hand offs in that sequence.

Placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients are surprised how smooth and uneventful it feels. For larger cases, full anesthesia with an anesthesiologist is available. When the tooth is no longer there and the bone is good, patients often tell us the replacement process felt very unremarkable, with very little recovery at all. After placement, the implant needs a healing and integration phase before the final restoration is fitted.

During planning we explain what your specific case involves, so there are no mysteries about the sequence. If same day provisional teeth are part of a full arch case, that option is only for qualifying cases. We will explain the comfort options for your case before placement day arrives.

A lasting implant result starts with a restoration fitted carefully for bite, comfort, hygiene, and looks. Your custom crown, bridge, or full arch is designed from the start, not added as an afterthought, so the final teeth work with your bite and can be kept clean. Because the same team plans your case, places the implants, and delivers your final teeth, your records, images, and plan stay in one place at 54 Warren St.

That continuity helps us judge fit and function accurately at the restoration stage. For patients in Tribeca, maintenance is simpler when the team who knows your bone and bite is also the team you return to. That design work is part of the restoration itself.

We have placed and restored implants in house at Tribeca Dental Studio since 2007, with every dental specialty under one roof at 54 Warren Street, New York, NY 10007. Nothing gets handed off across town. We work diagnosis first with a written plan, starting with 3D imaging and a plain spoken answer about whether implants are right for you and which type fits. If implants are not the right choice, we will tell you that plainly too.

Our studio is open Monday to Friday 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday 9 AM to 2 PM, and you can reach us at (212) 561-5303. One coordinated pathway keeps planning, placement, and restoration connected from start to finish.

Choosing implants well means matching the restoration to what you are actually missing, so start by asking which option fits your case. A single implant replaces one tooth without touching healthy neighbours, two or more can anchor a bridge, and four or more can support a full arch. For patients from Tribeca, ask what your CBCT evaluation shows about your bone, bite, and health factors, and whether bone grafting is needed first to rebuild the foundation.

Ask how positions are planned digitally, whether placement and restoration stay with our same team, and what comfort options suit your case. Finally, ask for your exact price, timeline, and financing options in writing before anything is scheduled. Ask what healing and integration involve before your final restoration is fitted, and how that restoration will be designed for bite, comfort, hygiene, and looks from the start.

Am I a candidate for dental implants in Tribeca?

Most adults missing one or more teeth may be candidates, but the honest answer comes from a 3D evaluation. We image your bone, check your bite and health factors, and tell you plainly whether implants are right for you and which type fits, whether that is a single tooth, a bridge, or a full arch. No commitment is required to get that evaluation and answer.

What if I do not have enough bone for an implant?

Bone loss after tooth loss is common and usually fixable. Bone grafting rebuilds the foundation first, before the implant is placed. Your 3D scan shows us exactly what your bone looks like, so there is no guessing about whether grafting is needed or where the implant should go. We plan implant positions digitally before surgery day, so the restoration is designed from the start as well.

How much do dental implants cost?

It depends on the number of implants, the restoration, and whether grafting is needed, so we do not quote blind. At your evaluation you get an exact price and financing options in writing, before anything is scheduled. The evaluation includes consultation and CBCT imaging of your bone, bite, and health factors, plus a timeline, so the figure you receive reflects your actual case, not a generic estimate.

How do I choose between a single implant, a bridge, or a full arch in Tribeca?

It depends on what you are missing. A single implant with a crown replaces one tooth without touching healthy teeth on either side. Two or more implants can anchor a bridge for several teeth in a row without reshaping healthy neighbours. Four or more implants per arch can support a full set of fixed teeth. Your 3D evaluation of bone, bite, and health factors helps us recommend the option that fits your case.

Zygomatic Implants in Depth: A Second Chance for Fixed Teeth

Zygomatic implants exist for the patients who have been told that implants are not possible for them. In the upper jaw, severe bone loss — from years without teeth, from dentures, or from earlier failed treatment — can leave too little bone for conventional implants, even with grafting.

A zygomatic implant takes a different route: it is a longer implant that anchors not in the thin upper jawbone but in the zygomatic bone, the dense cheekbone, which retains its volume even when the jaw has resorbed. That anchorage is what makes fixed upper teeth possible again for carefully selected patients.

Candidacy is genuinely selective, and an honest evaluation matters more here than anywhere. We assess your anatomy on cone-beam 3D imaging: the condition of your sinuses, the shape and density of the zygomatic bone, the health of your remaining teeth and gums, and your overall medical picture.

Some patients are better served by grafting and conventional implants; others by a combination, where zygomatic implants at the back support a restoration alongside standard implants at the front. If zygomatic implants are not the right answer for your anatomy, we will tell you plainly and explain what is.

Planning is digital and restoration-led. The final teeth are designed first — their position, your bite, and how they will look and function — and the implant angles are worked backward from that design. Because zygomatic implants approach the cheekbone at an angle, the surgical plan maps the exact path in advance on your scan, including the relationship to the sinus.

This is specialist surgery, planned in detail before the day, and coordinated here so that imaging, surgery, and the restorative work stay with one team rather than being split between offices.

The surgical visit itself is longer than a standard implant appointment, and comfort planning is part of the preparation: we discuss anesthesia and sedation options in advance and choose what fits your case and your comfort.

Many patients can be fitted with provisional fixed teeth during the healing phase, so you are not left without teeth while the implants integrate — whether that is realistic for you depends on the stability achieved at placement, and we will be clear about it before surgery rather than promise it in advance.

Healing and integration take months, as with any implant, and the provisional phase is a working phase: the temporary teeth let you eat, speak, and be seen while the bone bonds to the implants, and they also serve as a test of the design. We review your healing, check the bite, and refine before the definitive restoration is made.

The final bridge is built to the design that has already proven itself in your mouth, which is why the finished result feels settled rather than experimental.

Long-term care mirrors the care any fixed full-arch restoration needs: daily cleaning around the implants with the brushes and tools we show you, and regular review appointments so we can check the implants, the restoration, and the tissues around them. Zygomatic implants carry the same truth as every implant — their lifespan is built in the planning and protected in the maintenance.

If you have worn a denture for years and believed fixed teeth were closed to you, an evaluation costs you one visit and gives you a definite answer based on your own anatomy.

How are zygomatic implants different from regular implants?

A conventional implant anchors in the jawbone where the tooth root used to be, and it needs enough of that bone in the right place. A zygomatic implant is longer and anchors in the cheekbone (the zygoma), which stays dense and strong even when the upper jaw has lost most of its bone.

That difference in anchorage is the whole point: it allows fixed upper teeth for patients whose jawbone cannot support conventional implants, in many cases without the large grafting procedures that severe bone loss would otherwise require. Your 3D evaluation shows which anchorage your anatomy supports.

I was told I don't have enough bone for implants. Should I still come in?

Yes — that is exactly the situation zygomatic implants were developed for, and a general 'not enough bone' assessment does not rule them out, because they do not rely on the bone you are missing. It also does not guarantee them: candidacy depends on your cheekbone anatomy, sinus health, and overall picture, which only a dedicated 3D evaluation can establish. What we can promise is a definite answer.

We will show you your own scan, explain what is and is not possible in your case, and if another route serves you better — grafting, conventional implants, or a combination — we will lay that out instead.

Will I have teeth while the implants heal?

In many cases, yes: provisional fixed teeth can be fitted during the healing phase so you are not without teeth while integration happens. Whether that is appropriate depends on the stability of the implants at placement and your bite forces, which can only be confirmed on the day — so we discuss it as a possibility with conditions, never a guarantee.

The provisional teeth are later replaced by your definitive restoration once healing is complete and the design has been tested in your mouth.

How Care Is Planned at Our Tribeca Studio

Every treatment plan at Tribeca Dental Studio begins with a diagnosis, not a recommendation made in the abstract. We examine the tooth or area in question, review imaging taken here in the office — including 3D CBCT scans when the case calls for them — and talk through what we see in plain language before any treatment is proposed. You will always know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what could safely wait.

When several options would serve you well, we lay them side by side: what each involves, how many visits it takes, how long it is expected to last, and what it asks of the neighboring teeth and bone.

That conversation becomes a written plan. The sequence, the timing, and the reasoning are set down before treatment begins, so there are no surprises mid-course and no step is improvised. Staged treatment is grouped into planned steps when we can, and each stage is checked before the next one starts.

If a simpler option would serve you just as well, that is the option we will put in front of you — and if the honest answer is that a tooth or a treatment can be watched rather than treated today, we will say that instead.

Because every specialty sits under one roof at 54 Warren St, a plan that touches several disciplines is designed as a whole. Implant surgery, periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, cosmetic work, airway care, and pediatric dentistry are handled by one team in one place, which means the implant plan accounts for the gum plan, the orthodontic plan accounts for the airway, and nothing is lost between offices across town.

Your records, your imaging, and your history stay with the same team from the first visit through every follow-up.

Technology We Use — and Why It Matters

Good planning depends on seeing clearly. Our studio works with 3D CBCT imaging, which shows bone volume, nerve positions, sinus anatomy, and root form in three dimensions rather than the flat shadow of a standard X-ray. Implant positions, grafting decisions, root canal anatomy, and expansion planning are all worked out on that imaging before treatment begins, so the day of the procedure holds as few unknowns as possible.

Digital planning carries the same approach into orthodontics and cosmetic work: tooth movement and smile design are mapped in advance, and you can see the intended direction before committing to it.

Laser technology is part of everyday care here, from gum therapy to the NightLase protocol we use for snoring. Lasers let us treat soft tissue with precision and, in many cases, with a quieter recovery than traditional surgery. For sleep concerns, we use at-home sleep testing rather than assumptions: your breathing is measured in your own bed, and the results — not a guess — decide whether an oral appliance, NightLase, or a referral is the right path.

Technology earns its place in the plan only when it changes a decision or improves an outcome; that is the standard each tool here is held to.

Costs, Insurance, and Written Estimates

Before treatment begins, you receive the plan in writing — including what each stage involves and what it costs — so you can decide with the full picture in front of you. There is no obligation attached to a consultation, and a second opinion is a reasonable thing to want; we would rather you choose with clear information than feel rushed into a chair.

If you have dental insurance, our team verifies your coverage and explains what it does and does not apply to before we start, and if you do not, the written plan still lets you stage treatment sensibly over time.

Dental treatment is often easier to approach in planned stages than all at once. A written plan lets you sequence what is urgent, what protects the teeth around it, and what is elective, so each visit moves the whole plan forward. If something changes along the way — a tooth responds better or worse than expected — the plan is revisited with you, in writing, before the next step. That discipline is what keeps a long course of treatment from becoming a series of surprises.

Comfort, Recovery, and Follow-Up

Most dental anxiety comes from the unknown, so we work to remove it: what will happen, how long it takes, what it will feel like, and what recovery looks like are all covered before we begin. During treatment we check in rather than push through, and after it we tell you plainly what is normal, what is not, and when to call.

Written aftercare instructions go home with you, and the precautions in them — protecting a healing site, eating soft foods for a few days, keeping the area clean — are the difference between an uneventful recovery and a complicated one.

Follow-up is part of the treatment, not an extra. We schedule reviews around your life, use return visits to check healing and the details we flagged together, and keep recall reminders running so maintenance does not drift. If something feels off between visits, we would rather see you quickly than have you wait and wonder.

Call us at (212) 561-5303 or book online at any time — the studio is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Before You Book

A final word on how to use pages like this one. Treatment pages describe what is possible; a consultation decides what is appropriate — for your anatomy, your history, your goals, and your budget, in that order of conversation. If anything here has raised a question we have not answered, bring it with you: patients who arrive with marked-up pages and specific questions get the most from their first visit, and the plan we write together is better for it.

Tribeca Dental Studio is at 54 Warren St in Tribeca, and new patients are welcome at any of the services described on this site. Book online at any time or call (212) 561-5303. The first step is an examination and an honest conversation; everything else in dentistry follows from those two things done properly.

The Next Step Is a Conversation

Wherever this page found you — a search at midnight, a partner's forwarded link, a dentist's suggestion — the next step is smaller than the worry usually makes it feel. A consultation at the studio is an examination and a conversation, not a commitment: findings first, options with their honest trade-offs, a written plan with costs, and time to decide at home.

Patients tell us the plan is what they actually came for, whether they proceed here, proceed elsewhere, or proceed nowhere for now. That is the offer, and it stands on every page of this site: 54 Warren St, bookable online at any hour, or at (212) 561-5303 — Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Sunday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

The Consultation Is Not a Funnel

A last word that applies to every page in this series, whichever treatment brought you here: the consultation is not a funnel. Patients arrive at these pages mid-worry — about a tooth, a jaw, a night's sleep, a smile in photographs — and the studio's answer has been the same since 2007. An examination. Imaging where imaging decides. A written plan with the options and their costs, including the option of doing less, or nothing yet.

Then time to think, at home, without a follow-up call designed to hurry you. If that is the experience you were hoping dentistry could be, the door is at 54 Warren St, and it opens online at any hour or at (212) 561-5303.

How We Plan Your Care at Tribeca Dental Studio

Every treatment at Tribeca Dental Studio starts with a diagnosis, not a sales pitch. Before we recommend anything, we examine the tooth or area in question, review imaging taken here in the office, and talk through what we see in plain language. You will always know what we recommend, why we recommend it, and what could safely wait.

That recommendation becomes a written plan, so the sequence, the timing, and the reasoning are clear before any treatment begins — and if a simpler option would serve you just as well, that is the option we will put in front of you.

Our studio brings every dental specialty under one roof at 54 Warren St in Tribeca, and it has since 2007. General dentistry, cosmetic care, implant surgery, periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics, airway care, and pediatric dentistry are handled by one team in one place, which means a treatment that touches several specialties is planned as a whole rather than handed off between offices across town.

Your records, your imaging, and your history stay with the same team from the first visit through every follow-up, so nothing is lost between providers and no step is planned in isolation.

We are open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. You can book online at any time or call us at (212) 561-5303.

The studio sits between Greenwich Street and West Broadway, steps from the Chambers Street subway hub (1, 2, 3, A, C, E), with attended garages on Warren Street and Greenwich Street within a block of our door for patients who drive in.

Care does not end when the procedure does. We schedule reviews and follow-ups around your life, group staged treatment into planned steps when we can, and use each return visit to check healing and watch the details we flagged together. Between appointments we stay in touch with recall reminders and clear next steps, and if something feels off, we would rather see you quickly than have you wait and wonder.

The goal is a plan you understand, a team you recognize, and results that are checked over time rather than assumed.
