Have you been devastated to learn that you’re not a candidate for dental implants due to insufficient bone density in your upper jaw? Perhaps you’ve been told that extensive bone grafting procedures would be necessary, requiring many months of healing before implant placement could even be considered?
For many patients facing severe bone loss, particularly in the upper jaw, this news feels like the end of their dreams for stable, permanent teeth. The prospect of remaining dependent on loose dentures or avoiding certain foods indefinitely can be emotionally crushing, especially when dental implants represent the gold standard for tooth replacement. However, what many patients don’t realise is that traditional implant limitations don’t necessarily apply to everyone.
At Kissdental, Dr Kailesh Solanki offers hope through revolutionary Zygomatic implant procedures—a cutting-edge technique available at only a handful of clinics nationwide. This innovative approach can provide permanent, stable teeth even for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who have been told elsewhere that implants are impossible.
Upper jawbone loss presents unique challenges that make traditional dental implant placement difficult or impossible. Unlike the lower jaw, which tends to maintain better bone density over time, the upper jaw is particularly susceptible to rapid deterioration following tooth loss.
Several factors contribute to upper jawbone loss:
Dr Kailesh Solanki, with his experience of placing well over 1000 dental implants throughout his career, regularly encounters patients who have been told they lack sufficient upper jawbone for traditional implant placement. His extensive training in advanced implant techniques, including bone grafting and sinus lifts, gives him unique insight into the limitations of conventional approaches and the revolutionary potential of Zygomatic implant solutions.
“I’ve seen too many patients who were told to give up hope of having fixed teeth because of bone loss,” explains Dr Solanki. “Zygomatic implants represent a game-changing solution that can provide permanent teeth even in the most challenging cases.”
Dr Solanki’s reputation for handling complex implant cases extends far beyond Kissdental’s patient base. Many dental practices throughout Manchester and the Northwest refer their most challenging cases to him, recognising his exceptional skill in advanced implant procedures that other practitioners might consider impossible.
Since graduating from Manchester University in 2003 with two clinical prizes, Dr Solanki has dedicated himself to mastering the most sophisticated implant techniques available. His year-long course in implant dentistry provided the foundation for what would become a career specialising in cases that push the boundaries of what’s possible with implant treatment.
His expertise encompasses the full spectrum of advanced implant procedures:
Dr Solanki performs various bone augmentation procedures to rebuild jawbone structure, though these traditional approaches often require 6-18 months of healing time before implant placement becomes possible.
These complex surgeries lift the sinus membrane to create space for bone grafting in the upper jaw, expanding the possibilities for traditional implant placement.
Dr Solanki has perfected the All-on-4 technique, which maximises the use of available bone through strategic implant angulation.
As one of only a handful of practitioners offering this advanced procedure, Dr Solanki provides hope for patients who have exhausted all other options.
This comprehensive expertise means that Dr Solanki can evaluate each case individually and recommend the most appropriate solution, whether that involves traditional implants, advanced bone grafting, or the revolutionary Zygomatic approach.
Zygomatic implants represent a paradigm shift in how severe upper jaw bone loss can be addressed. Rather than attempting to rebuild the missing jawbone through grafting procedures, these longer, specially designed implants bypass the problematic upper jaw entirely and anchor directly into the dense zygomatic bone—the cheekbone structure that remains strong and stable even when jawbonehas been lost.
The key advantages of the Zygomatic approach include:
Dr Solanki’s expertise with this advanced technique stems from extensive specialised training and experience with international mentors who pioneered the procedure. His position as one of only a handful of UK practitioners offering Zygomatic implants reflects both his exceptional skill level and commitment to providing hope for patients with the most challenging cases.
The technical precision required for Zygomatic implant placement demands exceptional surgical skill and detailed anatomical knowledge. Dr Solanki’s background as a former internationally recognised CEREC instructor demonstrates his commitment to mastering complex technical procedures and sharing that expertise with other professionals.
The journey from being told “you can’t have implants” to receiving permanent, stable teeth through Zygomatic implants typically involves several carefully coordinated steps that showcase Dr Solanki’s comprehensive approach to complex case management.
The process begins with sophisticated CT scanning that provides detailed 3D images of the patient’s facial bone structure. This imaging allows Dr Solanki to assess the density and position of the zygomatic bones and plan optimal implant placement angles.
Using advanced digital planning software, Dr Solanki can visualise the exact placement of Zygomatic implants and coordinate with skilled dental technician Steve Bradburn to plan the final restoration design.
The Zygomatic implant procedure requires exceptional surgical skill due to the proximity of important anatomical structures. Dr Solanki’s extensive implant experience and specialised training ensure safe, precise placement of these longer implants.
In many cases, Zygomatic implants can support immediate placement of fixed temporary teeth, meaning patients can leave with functioning teeth on the same day as their implant surgery.
Working with Steve Bradburn, who has over 20 years of experience in implant dentistry and focuses specifically on complex cases like All-on-4 and Same-Day Teeth, Dr Solanki ensures that the final restoration maximises both function and aesthetics.
The dense zygomatic bone provides excellent long-term stability for Zygomatic implants, often lasting a lifetime with proper care.
Dr Solanki regularly encounters patients who arrive feeling hopeless about their dental future, having been told by multiple practitioners that implants simply aren’t possible in their case. These patients often describe years of struggling with loose dentures, avoiding social situations, and gradually giving up foods they once enjoyed.
The transformation that Zygomatic implants can provide extends far beyond simple tooth replacement:
Steve Bradburn’s expertise in crafting precise restorations for complex implant cases ensures that patients not only receive functional improvements but also achieve natural-looking aesthetics that restore their confidence completely.
Understanding why patients are told they “can’t have implants” requires appreciating the limitations of traditional implant approaches when confronted with significant bone loss. Conventional dental implants require adequate bone height, width, and density to achieve stable integration and long-term success.
Traditional solutions for bone loss include:
While effective, these require harvesting bone from other parts of the body or using synthetic materials, followed by 6-18 months of healing before implant placement becomes possible.
Complex procedures that lift the sinus membrane to create space for bone grafting, adding additional healing time and surgical complexity.
Techniques to widen narrow ridges of bone, though these have limitations based on available bone structure.
While Dr Solanki is highly skilled in all these traditional approaches, he recognises that they’re not always ideal for every patient. Some patients cannot tolerate multiple surgical procedures, others are reluctant to wait extended periods for treatment completion, and some simply lack sufficient bone structure for these conventional approaches to succeed.
Zygomatic implants provide an elegant solution that bypasses these limitations entirely, offering hope to patients who might otherwise face a lifetime of problematic dentures.
As one of only a handful of clinics offering Zygomatic implant treatment, Kissdental represents the cutting edge of advanced implant therapy. Dr Solanki’s commitment to staying at the forefront of implant technology ensures that patients have access to the most sophisticated solutions available anywhere in the world.

Dr Khushal Morar’s cosmetic expertise ensures that implant restorations integrate seamlessly with any surrounding natural teeth. The collaborative approach means that even the most challenging cases receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of function and aesthetics.
The combination of Dr Solanki’s surgical expertise and Steve Bradburn’s technical artistry creates a team uniquely qualified to handle the most complex implant challenges and deliver results that transform lives.
