California is known for spectacular scenic beauty that fills its residents with pride and draws visitors from across the globe. But the Golden State is also home to cutting-edge research and technology. So it’s only fitting that New Teeth Now – a trailblazer in the field of dental implants – should offer its extraordinary zygomatic implant services in California.
Zygomatic implants have delivered life-changing benefits for thousands of patients with extensive gum disease and failing teeth. In fact, the caring team at New Teeth Now in San Diego, CA, has helped many patients who were told they couldn’t get dental implants without multiple advanced procedures, such as periodontal treatments and bone grafting, enjoy the benefits of beautiful new teeth in a single day. Our zygomatic implants, coupled with the exceptional skill of our highly experienced and board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Arshiya Sharafi, have been key to restoring oral health and spontaneous smiles for hundreds of satisfied patients who live in California and beyond.

Exactly what are zygomatic implants?
To understand the significance of zygomatic implants in the dental restoration industry, it’s helpful to briefly consider what a dental implant is. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), dental implants are medical devices that are surgically implanted into a person’s jawbone to provide support for artificial teeth. In other words, the implants replace and function like natural tooth roots that are anchored in the jawbone.
For patients with an adequate amount of healthy jawbone, traditional dental implants may be a good option. However, many people who would benefit from dental implants have jawbones that have drastically shrunken after years of bacterial infection or from the effects of missing teeth. In these cases, there may not be enough of the bony structure left to support traditional dental implants. And that’s where New Teeth Now’s innovative zygomatic implants and expertise come in.
Zygomatic dental implants are longer than traditional implants, and they’re tilted so they can be anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) above the patient’s upper arch. This makes them ideal for patients who have several missing or failing upper teeth but have been told they’re not candidates for dental implants because of excessive bone loss. Or they’ve been advised they must undergo expensive and time-consuming dental bone grafting to shore up their jawbone before dental implants can be placed. Typically, it takes several months for patients to recover enough from bone grafting to be ready for dental implants.
Zygomatic implant procedures at New Teeth Now
The dental implants used by New Teeth Now in San Diego are crafted from high-quality titanium, a material that is not only ultra-durable but also bonds exceptionally well with natural bone tissue. We also stand out from other dental implant providers by performing all of the services required for full-arch or full-mouth implants under one roof. This includes preparatory consultations and X-rays, tooth extractions and anesthesia services. Indeed, when you choose New Teeth Now for zygomatic implants, you’ll be fully asleep and pain-free as any remaining teeth are extracted and your implants are put in place.
We also have an in-house dental lab, where your new, temporary teeth will be custom-crafted to fit your mouth while you recover from the implant procedure. This means you’ll come to our state-of-the-art oral surgery clinic in the morning and walk out at the end of the day with beautiful, natural-looking teeth. Then, after a few months of adjusting to your dental implants, you’ll receive your permanent set of gorgeous new teeth that are designed to last a lifetime.
At New Teeth Now, we strive to put our patients at ease and make the entire dental implants process as convenient as possible. But that doesn’t mean we cut corners on delivering the highest-quality health care. Every one of our patients receives a customized treatment plan based on their specific needs and goals as well as their overall health condition. Our in-house lab technicians take pride in custom crafting beautiful teeth that will look and feel natural. And Dr. Sharafi is considered an expert in his field, having received extensive training in many aspects of maxillofacial and oral surgery. He has performed thousands of full-arch rehabilitation procedures with a nearly 100% success rate, and he is one of only a handful of maxillofacial and oral surgeons to hold a California cosmetic surgery license because he has also received extensive training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Sharafi is one of the few board-certified oral surgeons in Southern California who place zygomatic implants.
