The Zygomatic Implant Master
Today, Dr. Vishy Broumand is considered one of a very small number of surgeons worldwide who has truly mastered zygomatic and pterygoid implant surgery — a life-changing full-arch solution for patients who lack sufficient jawbone for traditional All-on-4 treatment. Consequently, patients travel from across the country and internationally to receive his care. On top of that, he serves as the official oral surgeon for the Arizona Diamondbacks Major League Baseball franchise.
Teaching & Humanitarian Legacy
Beyond private practice, Dr. Vishy Broumand has personally trained over 250 surgeons through live-patient courses and hands-on workshops. As a result, he holds Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor appointments at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, A.T. Still University Arizona School of Dentistry, and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Notably, he is also deeply committed to humanitarian work — leading missions to the Dominican Republic and Haiti through Mission Rescate, Operation Changing Lives, and Project Medishare, including chartering emergency relief flights after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
“After 13 failed surgeries over 30 years to try to correct my cleft and restore my maxilla and my teeth, his skill and expertise made that life-long dream a reality. Not one of them has ever displayed nearly the level of compassion that Vishy puts into his patient care.”

About Zygomatic Implants
What are zygomatic implants?
Zygomatic implants are specialized dental implants anchored into the zygoma (cheekbone) rather than the upper jaw. Notably, they provide a life-changing full-arch solution for patients who lack sufficient jaw bone for traditional implants or All-on-4 procedures. Furthermore, Dr. Vishy Broumand is one of only a small number of surgeons worldwide who has truly mastered this advanced technique.
Who is a candidate for zygomatic implants?
Candidates for zygomatic implants are typically patients who have experienced severe bone loss in the upper jaw — often after long-term denture wear, gum disease, or trauma — and who have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants or All-on-4. Consequently, zygomatic implants provide a fixed, functional solution when other options are impossible, without the long healing time of bone grafting.

Beyond his rare dual DMD/MD training and Robert E. Marx fellowship, Dr. Vishy Broumand is one of a handful of surgeons worldwide with mastery of zygomatic and pterygoid implants.
