Oral Surgery
Zygomatic Implants in Turkey
A fixed, full-arch solution for patients with severe bone loss — no grafting, no waiting, teeth in a single surgery.
When Regular Implants Aren't an Option
Patients who've worn dentures for many years, or who were told they have too little bone even for a sinus lift, are often turned away from standard implants entirely. Zygomatic implants solve this differently: instead of anchoring into the jaw, they're anchored into the zygomatic bone (the cheekbone) — one of the densest, most stable bones in the skull — bypassing the need for bone grafting altogether.
This is advanced oral surgery performed by Prof. Dr. Orçun Toptaş for full-arch cases where time matters: patients travelling for dental implants in Turkey with severe bone loss can often leave Istanbul with a fixed, functional arch of teeth in a single surgical visit, rather than the 6–9 month graft-then-implant timeline regular implants would require.
Why Patients Choose Zygomatic Implants
The Zygomatic Implant Process
A more advanced surgery than standard implants, planned entirely around your CT scan.
CT Scan & 3D Planning
Precise mapping of the zygomatic bone and sinus anatomy before surgery.
Implant Placement
Long zygomatic implants are anchored through the jaw into the cheekbone under sedation.
Fixed Provisional Arch
A full arch of temporary fixed teeth is attached the same day in most cases.
Final Restoration
After healing, your permanent zirconia bridge is fitted.
Zygomatic Implants — Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for zygomatic implants?
Zygomatic implants are specifically for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who aren't candidates for standard implants or grafting. A CT scan confirms candidacy.
How much do zygomatic implants cost in Turkey?
Zygomatic implants in Turkey cost significantly less than the same procedure in the UK, US or Western Europe, even though it uses identical Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems.
Is zygomatic implant surgery safe?
Yes — it's a well-established technique with a strong safety record when performed by an experienced oral & maxillofacial surgeon, which is why precise CT-based planning matters so much.
Can I really leave with fixed teeth in one trip?
In many severe-bone-loss cases, yes — a fixed provisional arch is attached the same day as surgery, with the final zirconia bridge fitted after healing on a follow-up visit.
How are zygomatic implants different from regular implants?
Regular implants are 8–12mm long and anchor into the jawbone. Zygomatic implants are much longer (30–50mm) and anchor into the cheekbone, bypassing the jaw entirely — which is why they work even when the upper jaw has almost no bone left.
How much do zygomatic implants cost in Turkey?
Zygomatic implants at Integra Clinics typically cost €6,900–8,400 per jaw, compared with £20,000+ per arch commonly quoted in the UK — using the same Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant systems.
What is the recovery like after zygomatic implant surgery?
Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 5–7 days, managed with standard medication. Because there is no grafting, overall recovery is often faster than the graft-then-implant alternative, and the fixed provisional teeth mean you are never without a smile.
