What Are Zygomatic Dental Implants?
Zygomatic Dental Implants are specialized, extra-long titanium fixtures designed specifically for patients with severe bone atrophy in the upper jaw who cannot support traditional implants.
Instead of anchoring into the jawbone, these implants are surgically anchored into the zygoma (cheekbone), a dense and stable bone that never resorbs. This advanced technique eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting or sinus lifts.
At Dentaray, this procedure often allows for Immediate Loading, meaning patients can receive a fixed set of functional teeth within 24 to 72 hours of surgery. Been told you have "no bone" for implants? Skip the bone grafting and regain your fixed smile and strong bite in Türkiye. Discover the solution for the impossible today!
Our surgical team has extensive experience executing this complex maxillofacial procedure, delivering life-changing results for patients globally.

Key Benefits of Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are a lifeline for patients who have been told they are “hopeless cases” for fixed teeth. Here is why this procedure is transformative:
Graft-Less Solution
By anchoring in the cheekbone, we bypass the need for months of complex bone grafting and sinus lift surgeries.
Immediate Results
Due to the high stability of the zygomatic bone, patients can often get their fixed bridge attached immediately, avoiding the long wait times of traditional methods.
One-Stage Surgery
What usually takes multiple surgeries and over a year to complete with grafting can often be achieved in a single surgical visit.
High Success Rate
This technique has a proven track record for long-term stability in patients with severe bone resorption (atrophic maxilla).
Traditional vs. Zygomatic Implants
Understanding the difference between standard implantology and zygomatic rehabilitation highlights why the latter is crucial for patients with severe bone density loss.
| Clinical Factor | Zygomatic Implants | Traditional Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Bone Requirement | None in the upper jaw (Anchors to cheekbone) | Requires significant, dense jawbone volume |
| Bone Grafting / Sinus Lift | Not Required (Graft-less) | Frequently required for upper jaw |
| Time to Fixed Teeth | 24 to 72 Hours (Immediate Loading) | 6 to 12 Months (Healing dependent) |
| Number of Surgeries | Usually 1 | Multiple (Extraction, Grafting, Placement) |
Who Is the Ideal Candidate?
Individuals who benefit most from Zygomatic Implants are those facing complex oral challenges who want to avoid long, painful bone grafting procedures. This advanced treatment is a lifeline for the following groups:
-
Patients with Severe Bone Loss (Atrophic Maxilla)
If you have worn dentures for many years and your upper jawbone has shrunk significantly, or if you have lost bone due to gum disease, Zygomatic implants bypass the jawbone entirely, anchoring into the cheekbone instead. -
Patients Avoiding Bone Grafts
Traditional solutions for low bone volume involve months of waiting for bone grafts to heal. Zygomatic implants are a "Graft-Less" solution, allowing you to get fixed teeth immediately without the year-long wait. -
Those Told They Are "Hopeless Cases"
If other dentists have told you that you cannot have implants or that your only option is a loose denture, Zygomatic implants are designed specifically for you. They make the impossible possible.
The Patient Journey & Timeline
Because zygomatic implants bypass the need for bone grafting, the treatment timeline is remarkably accelerated. Here is what you can expect when you travel to Dentaray.
Advanced 3D Imaging
Using state-of-the-art CBCT scanners, our maxillofacial surgeons map the exact density and structure of your zygomatic bone to digitally plan the precise angle and depth of the implants.
One-Stage Placement
Performed under deep sedation or general anesthesia for maximum comfort, the specialized implants are securely anchored into the cheekbone. The procedure is typically completed in a single session.
Immediate Loading
Because the zygomatic bone offers incredible primary stability, a custom-milled, fixed acrylic or composite bridge is attached to the implants within days, restoring your smile and bite function immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions regarding zygomatic implantology and the patient experience.
What makes Zygomatic Implants different from regular implants?
Zygomatic implants are significantly longer than traditional dental implants. Instead of being placed into the jawbone, they are anchored directly into the dense zygoma (cheekbone), which provides an incredibly stable foundation even if your upper jaw has suffered severe bone loss.
Will I need a bone graft for this procedure?
No. Zygomatic implants are specifically known as a "graft-less" solution. By utilizing the cheekbone, we can completely bypass the need for lengthy, invasive bone grafting or sinus lift surgeries.
How soon will I get my new teeth?
Because the cheekbone offers excellent immediate stability, we can often perform "Immediate Loading." This means you can typically receive a fixed, functional set of teeth within just 24 to 72 hours after your surgery.
Am I a candidate if my dentist told me I don't have enough bone?
Absolutely. Zygomatic implants are designed exactly for patients with severe bone atrophy (atrophic maxilla) who have been told they are not candidates for traditional implants or have been labeled as "hopeless cases."
Why is this complex surgery more affordable at Dentaray?
While this specialized procedure can cost upwards of €50,000 in Western countries, our lower operational and clinical costs in Turkey allow us to offer it for up to 70% less. We still use the exact same FDA-approved implant brands and our surgeries are performed by highly specialized maxillofacial experts.
