Zygomatic Implants in Turkey
In this method, which was developed for patients who cannot find the amount of bone required for implant application, special implants are used in the upper bone region of the jawbones.
As last option, this method, which is up-to-date and effective, is carried out under special medical and surgical conditions by our expert surgeons and dentists.
What is a zygomatic implant?
A zygomatic implant is a special dental implant procedure used when a person's upper jaw does not have enough bone to support traditional dental implants.
The upper jawbone is the Maxill and above it are these dense bones called the zygomas that your cheekbones is zygomatic complex and in those bones we can place extra long implants it's like a dental implant just longer that we can put into these bones and we can place in plants and you literally can get a new set of solid teeth in your mouth in a day
How is the zygomatic implants procedure performed?
The zygomatic implant is securely anchored to the zygomatic bone, a robust structure, rather than the traditional jawbone. This innovative approach offers a stable foundation for dental prosthetics like bridges or dentures, even in instances of substantial bone loss in the upper jaw.
Zygomatic implants are frequently employed when bone grafting or alternative augmentation methods prove impractical or highly intricate.
Placement of zygomatic implants is more complex than traditional implant surgery and requires special training. It involves fixing the implant to the cheekbone, which requires careful planning and precision to achieve a successful result.
Zygomatic dental implants surgery
Thanks to zygomatic dental implants surgery, a flawless restoration of your natural smile can be achieved, even if the problem is due to insufficient bone density. The revolutionary All on 4 procedure, enhanced by the prowess of zygomatic implants, not only restores your confidence and self-esteem, but also accomplishes this feat in just one day.
Bone density and stability
The All on 4 dental implant procedure relies on strong and dense bone at the front of the jaw to support a permanent bridge with just four implants. However, some individuals may lack sufficient bone density, especially if they have been using dentures for an extended period, leading to bone deterioration.
In such cases, zygomatic dental implants can be employed to enhance stability. These longer rear implants are placed into the cheekbone (zygomatic arch), reaching stronger bone for a more secure foundation, ultimately providing better stability for replacement teeth.
This allows for the restoration of a natural-looking smile in just one day through the All on 4 procedure with zygomatic implants.
Why is bone density so important in dental implant treatment?
It is the most important factor affecting implant success. For a dental implant to be successful, there must be sufficient bone density in the upper and/or lower jaw so that the dental implant can form a structural and functional connection between the implant surface and living bone tissue, called osseointegration. Osseointegration ensures the longevity of the dental implant. It also increases the success rate by ensuring the harmony and stability of the implant.
Zygomatic implants pros and cons: Advantages
Zygomatic implants can significantly improve a patient's quality of life by providing a solid foundation for dental restorations, allowing the patient to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Zygomatic implants surgery offers a significant advantage to individuals who lack the necessary bone density for the conventional All on 4 dental implants procedure. Even if you've been informed that your jawbone is not strong enough, there's still a possibility of restoring your natural smile through this innovative approach.
Look like natural teeth
Your replacement teeth guarantee a secure and enduring fit, eliminating any risk of movement or accidental dislodging. With a natural look and feel, they afford you the freedom to eat, talk, smile, sing, and exercise without any apprehensions. Furthermore, maintaining optimal oral hygiene is effortlessly seamless, akin to caring for your original teeth.
No need for bone grafting
No need for more invasive, expensive, and time-consuming procedures such as bone grafting. Unlike other surgeries that may require multiple stages and up to six months for healing, the zygomatic implants procedure can be completed in a single stage. This involves placing the implants and attaching the bridge of natural-looking replacement teeth. With proper oral care and maintenance, these implants can last a lifetime.
Improved facial appearance
The deterioration of jaw bone can lead to a noticeable change in facial appearance due to a phenomenon known as 'collapsing.' The zygomatic implants procedure is designed to address this issue by enhancing the structure of the jaw, thereby contributing to an improvement in facial aesthetics.
How do Zygomatic dental implants work?
Zygomatic implants, exceeding standard length, are strategically inserted into the zygomatic arch, or cheekbone. This unique placement establishes a robust foundation, particularly beneficial for the All-on-4 procedure in cases of inadequate bone density at the front of the jaw. Originating from the collaboration of Professor Branemark and the renowned Nobel Biocare in Sweden, a company boasting over 60 years of groundbreaking scientific research and innovation, this procedure exemplifies the forefront of dental advancements.
Extra-long zygomatic dental implants reaching into your cheekbone
Two standard-length implants are strategically positioned at an angle within the robust and dense frontal jawbone. Simultaneously, two elongated rear implants are precisely anchored into the cheekbone, specifically the zygomatic arch, capitalizing on its superior strength.
A stronger, more secure foundation
The number of zygomatic implants utilized is tailored to the severity of bone deterioration, with a potential range of up to four implants supporting as many as eight regular implants. These implants create a robust foundation, allowing for the attachment of various dental solutions such as crowns, dentures, and bridges of replacement teeth.
In the All on 4 procedure, the outcome is a comprehensive bridge that seamlessly integrates a full row of new teeth. This customized approach ensures optimal support and functionality based on individual bone conditions, leading to a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

Why would I need zygomatic dental implants?
The utilization of traditional posterior dental implants in the all-on-4 procedure may be impeded by insufficient bone density in the upper jaw. Rather than opting for the time-consuming and costly process of bone grafting, zygomatic dental implants emerge as a viable alternative.
These implants are incorporated into the procedure similarly to regular dental implants, albeit demanding a high level of surgical expertise and precision for accurate and secure placement. In Turkey, only a limited number of dental surgeons possess the necessary skills to proficiently perform this specialized procedure.
What to expect?
When we do this, basically, we have three goals for our patients. Firstly, We want to give you a beautiful set of teeth. We start with that. Secondly, we want to make these teeth cleansable and hygienic. We want these teeth to be placed in a way that allows you to keep them clean throughout your lifetime, whether you're 40, 60, or 80 years old.
We aim to use these for a lifetime by installing them in all age groups and allowing you to spend two minutes in the morning and two minutes in the evening using traditional teeth cleaning techniques. This is a significant advantage that makes the prosthesis we deliver easy to maintain.
The third objective involves ensuring the retrievability of these prostheses. While it may not be immediately evident, the prosthetics must be securely affixed, resembling the sturdiness of solid rock. We meticulously craft them with convenient screw access openings discreetly positioned behind the upper teeth, allowing for effortless removal. In just about 10 minutes, they can be taken in and out with ease.
Skilled professionals can then remove the filling plugs, unscrew the prostheses, cleanse the underlying area, and seamlessly reattach them. While not always obligatory, my 25 years of experience underscore the occasional necessity for the removal of bridges, emphasizing the crucial aspect of retrievability.

What are zygomatic dental implants made of?
Zygomatic dental implants share the same composition as conventional dental implants.
Am I suitable for zygomatic dental implants?
At our clinic, we've encountered numerous patients who've been informed that they may not be suitable candidates for dental implants due to insufficient bone in the targeted area. Fortunately, we have a solution � zygomatic implants. These implants, akin to traditional dental implants but longer in size, are strategically placed into the cheekbone or zygomatic bone for a sturdy foundation.
Leveraging the cheekbone or zygomatic bone allows us to effectively replace an entire arch of teeth with this specialized technique, a rarity offered by only a select few surgeons. Here at our practice, we take pride in providing this innovative solution to meet the unique needs of our patients.
Individuals who have utilized dentures for an extended period may encounter a gradual resorption of the underlying bone. As this bone loss progresses, it poses challenges and limits the available options for achieving an improved smile. The dentures may become ill-fitting, exacerbating the loss of bone over time, ultimately restricting future possibilities for the individual.
However, with the introduction of zygomatic implants, we can effectively address and overcome the issues associated with bone loss. By strategically placing these implants in the cheekbone, we can establish a secure foundation for a full arch system that remains fixed in the mouth, providing a lasting solution without the need for removal. This innovative approach ensures a stable and enduring outcome, enhancing the quality of life for individuals seeking a permanent and improved dental solution.
How long do zygomatic implants last?
Zigomatic dental implants are made of high quality materials and can be used for 25+ years with proper care.
Are zygomatic implants painful?
Although the placement of zygomatic implants in the cheekbone may sound unpleasant, it is actually less invasive than procedures such as bone grafts and usually causes much less pain. During the procedure, you will not feel anything because the procedure is performed under intravenous sedation.
Are zygomatic implants safe?
I understand your concern about the safety of Zygomatic implants and it is important for me to provide the most accurate information for you. Zygomatic implants have a high success rate and are very safe, but there are some conditions that require special attention.
As the days after treatment pass, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone tissue and eventually surrounds the implant, further strengthening it, provided there is no injury or accident to the zygomatic bone during the healing process.
Firstly, I would like to point out that the implants are placed in your zygomatic bone. Therefore, it is important that you avoid contact sports or scenarios where you may be hit in the face. If you are at such a risk, I strongly recommend wearing a mouth guard or face shield. This will reduce the risk of damaging the implants.
Remember that if you damage the implants, additional surgery may be required to replace, stabilise or remove the implants. This can mean additional costs and discomfort. Therefore, it is important that you take care to protect your implants and ensure their longevity.
It is also critical to pay attention to regular care and hygiene routines to keep your implants healthy. By brushing and flossing regularly around the bridge and implants, you can help keep them clean and reduce the risk of infection.
However, please do not hesitate to contact me for precise information and to assess your personal situation. I am here to determine the best treatment plan for you and to ensure the longevity of your implants.
